NEXT WEEK 18


NEXT is a new music show that plays on 107.1 The Peak in New York's Backyard. You can stream it at The Peak's website. It is also brought to you by the music loving people at Snapple. A Big Thanks to them. NEXT is on tonight at 11 and repeats on Sunday Night at 8. Thanks for listening and the hope is you find something that turns you on like when you were a giddy school girl or boy. Also remember that NEXT is an iMix. Go to the iMix page at iTunes and search for an iMix titled "next week 18". Every week is there. Enjoy.

On to the The playlist.

Razorlight – In the Morning (self titled)
A great second cd and that’s not easy to do

Gin Blossoms – Long Time Gone (Major Lodge Victory)
It doesn’t seem like 10 since the last Gin blossoms album. If liked them then you will enjoy this release

Midlake – Roscoe (The Trials of Van Occupanther)
What if Thom Yorke grew up in Texas and listened to Wings then fronted the Band Grandaddy. This a quiet and stunning cd.

La Rocca – This Life (The Truth)
4 lads from Ireland. Where is their name from? a favoured watering hole, the La Rocca cocktail bar, as the band themselves state on their myspace page “you'll understand why once you meet us.”

Kaiser Chiefs – I Heard It Through The Grapevine (Help: A Day in The Life)
A charity cd and follow up to the War Child. The thought was a bunch of bands would go into a studio for 24 hours and punch something out. It raised money to help war torn countries.

TV on the Radio – Wolf Like Me (Return to Cookie Mountain)
New York band has made one of those cds. You know a cd that in 50 years you will rediscover and still think it is amazing. Like most of those cd it takes time. You need to listen numerous times. Need another selling point. David Bowie is a huge fan and lends and hand on one track.

Silversun Pickups – Little Lover’s So Polite (Carnavas)
Those in search of ravishing rock that can provide a sonic high need look no further than Carnavas. Carnevas is in homage to a side of my family that will soon be extinct---it's their maiden name, it's Greek

The Zutons – Why Don’t Your Give Me Your Love? (Tired of Hanging Around)
Formed in 2001 Before they knew it the band was being hailed as one of the leaders of a new musical renaissance for Liverpool, the city that gave the world The Beatles (oh, and Mel C from the Spice Girls). A band to watch and a band to remember.

Joan Jett – AC/DC (Sinner)
Joan Jett—punk godmother. Strange but true. She is almost 50 and this is her 24th album Its like the Seinfeld eposide. You need to pick a team otherwise its cheating.

Kaki King – Gay Sons of Lesbian Mothers (…Until We Felt Red)
She started playing guitar at age 5. This is her third cd and the first with her voice add to a few tracks. Sonicly much different probably thanks to John McEntire (Tortoise and Sea and Cake)

The Aggrolites –Love Isn’t Love (self titled)
This LA band calls it Dirty Reggae. Think reggae teamed up with Punk/ska or Wilson Picket backed by the Meters.

More later
Bro

Louie Louie by the Kingsmen done with scenes of Animal House. Over?...did you say over? nothing's over until we say it's over.
