All I Want For Christmas is…

We have a few days left…

So in the spirit of the holiday season, I am looking through my massive list of 516 releases to see which albums make the cut. The end of year Top 25 List will likely arrive on New Year’s Eve or shortly after. In the meantime, I have a final blast of Christmas music. Enjoy it while it’s here, but even cooler is this stocking stuffer for you all. Jim Basnight has a new album coming out before the year’s up, I have an exclusive limited time download for y’all. Pick it up and pick up this LP when it comes out.

Some new Holiday Favorites!



More May goodies: Autos, Vanilla, Best Bets, Mustard Service, Gentlemen Rogues, The Modbeats

Where did the time go? Listening to good music is a passion, and Autos from Santa Cruz, California is a “too-cool-for-you” band, with a tracks like “Stay Clean” and “Drive” I will follow these guys and see where the GPS leads me. Crunchy guitars, and a lead that reminds me of Richard Butler (Psychedelic Furs) are a good mix here. Plus hard working musicians Vanilla keep working it after their massive ‘Pish Posh’ with “Abney Park,” a crisp traditional pop gem with jazz accents. This month’s freebie is Best Bets tribute to the 40th anniversary of Prince’s classic album ‘Around The World in a Day’. Next, I’m very excited to feature Mustard Service from Miami and “Going Nowhere” a bright, slightly chaotic love song with great energy that ends way too soon. Rockers Gentlemen Rogues are also back, with a heavy teaser for their next album, and The Modbeats latest faetures a nice slice of catchy power pop “Hold Me Roll Me.” Enjoy!
