Two weeks of playlists for you because, yes, it is that time of the semester. Quite a few new releases, from the likes of Movie Movie with a groovy, groovy holiday song that you can hear in the fantastic video above , Danny Boy & His Big Britches (Danny Kurtz --- Backsliders, Phil Lee, etc.), who deliver a whopping dose of rock'n'roll, Xposed 4heads with a new Christmas ditty, power pop long-haulers Sloan, and an awesome archival release of Hozac from the Revelons and much more.
Two tributes to this week to musicians who passed away way, way too soon: Peter Cooper, who was also a noted music journalist and frequent collaborator with Eric Brace, and Jess Barr from Slobberbone.
No show for me this Friday as I tackle more of the aforementioned papers, but I will be back Dec. 23 for my annual Don't Bite Santa, Dusty holiday show.
This way to Zero Hour for Dec. 9 and that way to Dec. 2 (only a partial show, unfortunately).
