We are here at episode #74 of our weekly new music podcast that this week is actually our 1-year anniversary show from starting to host it on this sort of timeframe for you, our very limited audience. Thank you. Without you, there would only be me and that's lonely. haha. We have 5 more amazing tunes that you should hear, but most of our public misses, although folks do hear these bands, because they do become popular. Feast your ears on Wesghost, Toro y Moi featuring Benjamin Gibbard, Olivetheboy, Michigander and Yam Haus. All great listens, if you don't have another zillion things to think about. 17:14 to try not to eat too much of your time.

We have reached episode 73 of our new music podcast that we basically are credited for just hearing it ourselves when we publish it and maybe a few random types float in to hear what's happening, but our glory for doing this is very limited. That is sad. It is media and should be heard. We plug away. Thanks for putting them ears on this. It's a bit of a more high brow effort this week, in we have maybe more than a couple of bands you have heard before, which is we hope a rarity to happen. Anyway, this week put your ears on Noshows, Dead Poet Society, Cage The Elephant, Sofi Tukker and The Chainsmokers in a nice concise 20:49 presentation for you.
