We made a song for Krizette from the Philippines, who asked for a jam about being grounded at home, aka in a teenage prison. Also hear the spell-casting indie rock of Costa Rican band The Great Wilderness.

The New Old Men get their Rolling Stones on and Loss of a Child bedazzles us with post-rock power.

Garth Knox summons Eastern blues from his viola d’amore, and Kitchen Sink brings forth a ghostly instrumental.

Karl Eifrig fulfills a listener request for a song about casually-dressed heroes, and covers an X-Ray Spex song.

It’s synthy cover-song time! Neil Milton covers the Pixies’ Wave of Mutilation and our own Karl Eifrig covers the Grateful Dead’s China Cat Sunflower.

Hear Mochipet take on a giant, sci-fi dog-thing, and a lyrical mini-epic from Jane Siberry.

Hear Deerhoof’s latest, a new SuBBrilliant News report, and the custom-made song “Death to Apple ^_^”!

We’re back for the New Year! The Innocent Bandits take us into a dream-song, Aoiroooasamusi makes us headbang in slo-mo, and we learn of Gene Simmons’ slanderous tongue.

– ‘Sumi’ by Aoiroooasamusi, from the album Root of Sorrow, available as free download from Headphonica.

Aaron Belcher requested a song be made about his Freedom Poodle, and The New Old Men answered his call. Plus, we ride into 8-bit delight with Capkonamco.

Revel in Leonard Mynx’s beguiling and mellow song of doom and march with metallic seraphim in JJ Sonick’s re-mix of a My Boyfriend the Pilot track.

– ‘Song with No Name’ by Leornard Mynx, available as a free download from Bad Panda Records.
