Episode Episode 36: Threshold

Episode 36: Threshold


It took a lot to fight the urge to make an all contemporary 80s sound podcast this week since I've been on a ridiculous kick after finally watching Drive, but bookending the episode with the bands I was lucky enough to see on back to back nights a few weeks ago did the trick.  Devotchka sounded even more amazing in person than I had imagined as an undeniably powerful mix of in-studio quality and raw live energy. If you haven't seen them and they're playing within 100 miles of your humble abode, then do yourself a favor and make the trip.

With their recent Featured Artist and Live on Some Kind of Jam posts, Greensky Bluegrass had already been in heavy rotation here, but after seeing them on the grand stage at Park West I've had trouble not listening every other day. Though this episode features their cover of Beat It from the in-studio session, I honestly cannot recommend Handguns enough. It's truly a timeless work of art.

With those two acts holding down the front and back end I was able to put a shit ton of music brand new to the podcast in this week and am really anticipating the feedback on some of them. Feel free to leave a note on here, or the usual Facebook and Twitter musings. Enjoy!
