Hope everyone had a tip-top Thanksgiving! I was the lucky guest of Ryan King and Wendy Norton, who are great friends and the rock'n'rollers who put the Ramma and Lamma in my opening theme song each and every week.
New releases this week from the legendary Senders, who have a dynamite new double LP or double CD compilation out on Wisconsin-based Left for Dead Records. Also new music this week from Wild Billy Childish & the Singing Loins on Damaged Goods, Churchwood on Saustex and the Popular Creeps on Big Stir Records.
In other news this week, Kicksville USA, the online radio arm of Norton Records and Kicks Magazine, debuted, delivering way-killer music 24/7 and "special focus" programs like interviews with Dion and lost recordings from Fortune Records - oh, my! Listen at their website or at TuneIn.
