NEXT WEEK 11

France are through. Should be an excellent final. Will ZZ end his career on top?


Tonight at 11pm eastern at 1071thepeak.com you can hear a new music show. It is sponsored by Snapple. In case you miss NEXT tonight it replays on Sunday nights at 8 pm Eastern. There are "Tivo" like software out there. So you can listen anytime you want. Just google "record internet radio" and I am sure you will find something. I haven't used any of them so good luck. I's also an iMix. Go to the iMix homepage on iTunes and search for "Next Week 11".

The NEXT playlist for week 11:

The Little Ones – Lovers Who Uncover (Sing Song EP)
Album art done by the same artist that did the last Shins album. From LA and just formed this year

Guster – C’mon (Gangin Up on the Sun)
I miss the Guster that never used drum sticks. Great live. you'll want to hit "repeat" as soon as the album is over. .

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Mercy (Howl Sessions ep)
These are not throw away tunes. The 6 songs on this ep were recorded during Howl. I already played one tune from this ep and will keep playing them until you get this cd in your collect. This is just me dropping a hint.

Spottiswoode and His Enemies – I’m In love With An Angry Girl (Building a Road)
Creative, unique and challenging. This cd was recorded in 2002 but finally released late in 2005. Fill under Someone to watch.

Frank Black and the Catholics – I’m Going Down (Cover Bruce Springsteen) (Snake Oil)
Frank Black has to be the most prolific writer ever. You might say Ryan Adams but I don’t think he comes close. Frank released Snake Oil in Feb and already has another double cd that just came out. I think he is still thinking about new Pixies someday soon too. I get tired just thinking about it. Then again I’m a lazy git.

The Supersuckers – paid (Paid EP)
Party band with their tongues planted firmly in the cheek. If they think it’s funny its in a song. If you don’t think it’s funny you might be too old. They were HS friends in AZ in 1988 and after playing locally for a year moved to Seattle. They have released about a dozen cds.

Robert Pollard – Blessed In an Open Head (From a Compound Eye)
GBV broke up in 2004 and this album was in the can for quite awhile probably to give the GBV fans time to want something new. You could put this down as solo album number 8 or the first one he really means. It’s not a complete album but there are a few standouts. Download those.

Indigenous – Leaving (Chasing the Sun)
Blues cd of the year so far. A very SRV feel to both the guitar playing and singing.

Massive Attack – Live With Me ( collected)
Their music is among the most influential of the past two decades even though, during that time they only released five albums
This is a best of with one new tune which we listened to but hopefully just a holdover until the release of their new cd due out some time in the near distant future. Weather Underground is the title of the new cd..

Snow Patrol – Open Your Eyes (Eyes Open)
I think this is way over produced. Where are the rough edges I fell in love with on Final Straw. This cd aims and hits all the right notes to conquer stadiums.

Todd Snider – Happy New Year (The Devil You Know)
He makes me smile on so many levels. You must see him live. Most of time his between song banter is better then the songs themselves and the songs are amazing. Not the strongest front to back of his cds but with Todd Snider you can’t go wrong.

Google fight.
Chris Bro v Helper Monkey...In a shocker of a blow out Bro 3,980,000 to HMs 789,000
