Hey Ears Try This Out

BAND FOCUS: Built to Spill, It's Doug Martsch and whoever joins him. Formed in Boise, ID, the 'band' has a distinct sound due to Martsch's voice, guitar, songwriting and style. This show is a chronological look into their catalog.

I believe I turned Country Rock upside down on this one. There is a wide variety of Country, Rock, Psych and anything else I felt like adding to the rock pile.

Jose informed me that it had been 6 months since this show aired last time. Jose picked 'em but I did all the work. Please enjoy these great tunage picks,

This is a great set of tunes to relax and then hopefully fall asleep. The Dachshund is showing off early listening technology.

There are some wonderful bands that are essentially a trio playing instruments with a lead singer. That's not to say they never play an instrument but mostly "no". The trio also often contributes background vocals.

'Psychedelic/Garage' rears it's wonderful head again. Many of the tunes are from the UK, why? My answer would be, "just listen," If these songs were written and recorded in the US you would be hearing them here anyway. The singer would just have an American 'accent'.

This sink is so old, it has car window handles for the hot-cold water controls. This show provides all tunes with everything PLUS the Kitchen Sink.

I know I play a lot of slow and soft type of music. This show ups the pace and demeanor of the selected tunes. They may not be upbeat lyrically but they are dance-worthy and potentially toe tapping.

Let's play original releases by artists that recorded their own song or that had a song written for them by other songwriter(s). This song was made 'more famous' or was done more recently by another artist. Why do I call it heady stuff? Lot's of research

This show contains a variety of styles with one thing in common, they all are about The Golden State. We can celebrate by listening to this show focusing on California.

All of the the songs represented here deserve an encore. I selected them from Shows 151- 175. A very listenable show if I do say so myself.

Simply put, all songs have 'rain' in title or lyrics. This is, as always, a diverse group of artists. LET IT RAIN

This is a show for a songwriter's songwriter/storyteller and the accomplishment of completing such.

There are no US artists for this show. Instead, enjoy these artists from the UK, Sweden, Norway, Italy and Australia.

Jose picked 'em out. I did all the rest of the work. Throw some great tunes in a blender and this is what you get.

Yes, it's a Sycamore tree. This picture is actually the National Champion for the American Sycamore in Sunderland, MA. Please listen to some great Folk tunes.

This is a diversified group of artists. The UK is actually represented 3 times. There is 1 from Canada and the rest are from the US. The city of Chicago is represented three times. The rest are scattered all across the US.

Why would you listen to this? Why would you not? The set provides psychedelic tunes from mid-60's to present day. Who else does a show like this? No one or I'd like to meet them pronto.

This is more music to relax by. There are no sudden loud guitar solos, no drum solos and no angry voices.
