The legendary power pop band The dB's are on Sound Opinions this week. For their session they played a number of songs from their recent release, but closed things out with this version of "Neverland" from the 1982 album "Repercussion."

Prolific California garage-rocker Ty Segall and his band were on Sound Opinions a few months back. Here's one of the best songs from their performance, recorded in front of a live audience at Chicago's Lincoln Hall.

Our High Fidelity Music Series was lucky to have Cloud Nothings perform for us last fall. Here's their single, "Fall In."

This weekend Aimee Mann is the guest on Sound Opinions. What better song to share on the Thursday that Oscar nominations are announced than her own nominated song, Save Me from the Magnolia soundtrack? None better, I say.

Another great video from Lydia Loveless' Sound Opinions session. This one is the song about a stalker that she imagines in alt-country hero Steve Earle.

There's a chance that Ohio native Lydia Loveless could have been the next Carrie Underwood. That's what the producer of her first album, The Only Man.

R&B maverick Van Hunt brought his band into our studios recently and did a scorching set of five songs mostly from his recent "What Were You Hoping For?" album. This video is of a B-side from that album, "The Savage, Sincere L of P."

Monday on Eight Forty-Eight we were joined by Chris Salveter and Ryan Boyles of the indie folk four-piece, Judson Claiborne, before the band set out on their East Coast tour.

As summer peeks around the corner, I can't think of a more fitting song to listen to than The Shins' "New Slang." Even if it doesn't change your life, maybe it'll change your summer. Here's James Mercer performing the song on Sound Opinions.
