2nd time this week no less.  Kicking this one off with a new single from the group W.C. Lindsay from their new album Easy Victim, Charitable Deceptions.  Fair warning, while the song itself is pretty tame the band can be a little crass.

Up next is the rock sound of Chappo with “I’m Not Ready” from their forthcoming album Future Former Self which should be out this spring.

Rounding out this edition is In The Valley Below and a remix of their song “Peaches.”  The remix was done by Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke.  In The Valley Below’s new EP Man Girl is due out in May.

Flashback Friday – Zoom lens feeling just won’t disappear edition

J. Geils Band with “Freeze Frame” which is inextricably linked to a local trivia show that aired on St. Louis television on Saturday mornings back in the 80′s.   Whether or not the show actually used this music or I’m crossing memory wires is up in the air, but a fun song none the less.
