On Level 68 of My Little Underground, Dion Lunadon, former bassist of A Place To Bury Strangers discusses the difficult decision to leave the band after 10 years to focus on solo ventures. Dion has since released his first solo single in three years,  'When Will I Hold You Again' which has raised over $2,000 for organizations Campaign Zero and City Harvest NYC which the former benefits anti-police brutality initiatives and the latter hunger issues. Dion also gives insight on his now completed sophomore solo album, a new EP, exclusive tunes for Rough Trade's "Talk - Action = Zero" compilation which benefit Black Lives Matter and advocates for voting rights. Plus, Dion has some important advice for aspiring musicians!

On Level 61 of My Little Underground, Peter A takes a trip back 15 years to 2005 to discuss some of the great tunes that came out that year and well they have aged. He'll discuss interesting singles such as the ubiquitous "We Belong Together" from Mariah Carey, the eternal party anthem, "Pon de Replay" from Rihanna and one of the best album intros, "Extraordinary Machine" from Fiona Apple. The south definitely had something to say in 2005 with Jeezy's 'Thug Motivation 101' creating the foundation of the Atlanta trap sound that dominates hip hop today. Foo Fighters released their risky double album, 'In Your Honor' with one disc featuring 10 loud rock tunes and another featuring 10 acoustic tracks. 2005 also say the return of Quasimoto, Danger Doom and MF Doom team up and more!
