EARGASM OF THE WEEK: “Famous Overnight” by The Hundred Days

When The Hundred Days first landed on the music scene with their catchy song “Sex U,” I fell in love with them. At the time I worked in radio, I was pretty obsessed with this band and pushed in getting them into being added to a radio show. I would push the band onto anyone who would listen to me talk about them. They were added … Continue reading EARGASM OF THE WEEK: “Famous Overnight” by The Hundred Days

LISTEN: “Weary Eyes” by Augustines

Lend your ear to “Weary Eyes” by Augustines from the their self-titles album. Augustines were formerly called We Are Augustines with guitarist Billy McCarthy, multi-instrumentalist Eric Sanderson and drummer Rob Allen. I could wax poetic and spit out a diatribe of why this song is good, but I’ll let the music do the talking on this because I honestly can’t tell you why I like it. I … Continue reading LISTEN: “Weary Eyes” by Augustines

THROWBACK THURSDAY: “In the Air Tonight”

Holly’s voice takes this song to another place and time. She does such a brilliant cover of this song by Phil Collins that I truly don’t have the words to express how good it is so I’ll let her voice and this cover speak for itself. If you stumble upon the album LIVE STUFF, you’ll be able to grab this for yourself and I recommend this … Continue reading THROWBACK THURSDAY: “In the Air Tonight”

LISTEN: “What You Don’t Know” by Paperscissor

I stumbled onto Paperscissor via Twitter when I followed fellow Oklahoma band Broncho. As I sat and listened to their ARTIFACTS EP, I completely forgot the band was from the US because their sound is so 80’s Brit pop infused. Throw pop, rock, electronica, punk and hit blend on the mixer and you’ve got the sound of Paperscissor. I really dig the entire ARTIFACTS EP, … Continue reading LISTEN: “What You Don’t Know” by Paperscissor
