Next tonight
A few posts ago I was bummed about the fact that The Sarah Silverman Show wasn't doing it for me. I think I have a new DVR love. Andy Barker PI. Just strange enough to hold me and great secondary characters. The comedy is not in your face but rather sly. I like that. So my DVR will have one more show to record. There is plenty of room next to Lost and How I met Your Mother for this show.
Remember NEXT plays tonight at 11pm on 107.1 The Peak. You can Listen online too. You are magic.

A New Post!
The New Wilco album, "Sky Blue Sky" has leaked. It's a mellower disc, pure Wilco goodness, but you won't find any 9 minute guitar freakouts like Spiders (Kidsmoke) off "A Ghost Is Born" or any overt sonic manipulation that can be found on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. This album is more akin to "Summerteeth" and "Being There".
Tweedy sounds almost content on this album, a wise sage letting the entire album unfold quietly.
Standout tracks include Either Way, Impossible Germany, Side With The Seeds and Walken.
Other albums currenlty digesting:
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club-Baby 81
Modest Mouse-We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
Son Volt-The Search
The Black Lips-Los Valientes Del Mondo Nuevo
The Shins-Wincing The Night Away
Arcade Fire-Neon Bible
Police tickets go officially go on sale today for two shows in Wrigley Field. Since the Van Halen reunion imploded, This is probably going to be the only big ticket reunion show I attend this summer.
Secret Machines lose a band member?
I hope this is not true, but if it is, It will be interesting to see the music made on both sides.
New Kings Of Leon tour dates
Cbro asked for the Eddie Vedder induction speech of R.E.M. from the other week, It's a long speech, but not as long as Eddie's induction of the Ramones a few years back. You can really tell the mutual respect between Ed & R.E.M..
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
R.E.M and Eddie Vedder - Man On The Moon

Next Week 48
If you missed last nights broadcast NEXT will air again on Sunday night at 8 on 107.1 The Peak's website.
Bright Eyes – Reinvent The Wheel (Four Winds EP)
A quick one for the fans while they await the new full length due out later in April. I wouldn’t say this is a EP just fans either. This is probably his most accessible music to date. He has slowly been weeding out his quirks.
Neil Young – Journey Through the Past (Live a Massey hall 1971)
Recorded in Canada thus the loud cheer when the Country was name dropped in the tune. The story here is Neil did an acoustic show at Massey Hall in Toronto in 1970, debuting much of the material that would eventually show up on Harvest. The set that night was so good that Neil's producer implored him to put out this concert, rather than the album which eventually became Harvest. Toronto.
The Fratellis – Chelsea Dagger (Costello Music)
This is your summer time cd. Pure Fun. Different sources tell of different origins of the band's name. Some claim it derives from the 1985 movie The Goonies; however, the band denied this --it would appear that the name is taken from bassist Barry, whose original surname is Fratelli, the other members of the band simply adopted that pseudonym. Ironically, the word "fratelli" in Italian means "brothers". Two Eps and this Full length.
K-OS – Sunday Morning (Atlantis – Hymns for Disco)
Think The cheesey 80s tune Mickey and Outkast have a love baby.
“male Lauryn Hill” comparisons are worthy and I like him a lot more when he isn’t rapping…yes he raps. He is from Canada and from a pretty religious family. This song is about him going out and getting popular yet still not feeling complete until Sunday.
Bikeride – Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite (Beatles Cover)
Feist – My Moon My Man (The Reminder)
Also we had a special treat. Goat came to Acme a few mornings ago and recorded a NEXT concert for us. Sponsored by Snapple. That is what you heard on the second half of NEXT.

NEXT week 47
Not many videos this week...I must be getting out there. Listen to the rebroadcast of NEXT on Sunday at 8pm at 107.1 The Peak.
Just Jinjer – Home (Just Jinjer)
A South African band that now calls Orange County home. This is their 6th cd and they are the best selling artist in South African.
The Lemonheads – Baby’s Home (Lemonheads)
Don’t even bring up the pretty-boy image Evan Dando, founder of The Lemonheads, has held since 1993, when People magazine christened him one of its 50 Most Beautiful People. On his first tour in 10 years, Dando is concentrating on the band’s eighth album
Sloan – I Understand (Never hear the End of It)
I think some of you didn’t believe me when I said I would keep playing one of my favorite Canadian bands until you starting buying their cds…c’mon people this is a double cd.
Mighty Fairly – It’s a Shame (Perfectly good Airplanes)
A trio two lads and a lady from the land of lakes, mosquitoes and hockey. Minneapolis. Catchy poppy tunes with a bit of TMBGs
Elliott Smith – Jealous Guy (John Lennon cover)
Live from the Black Cat in DC in 1998
Radio Moscow – Whatever happened (Radio Moscow)
If you like the Black Keys you will probably enjoy this band from Iowa. In fact at a Black Key gig they get a tape to Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys and he likes it some much-- he let these guys record this cd in his home studio…how cool is that? Or maybe after hearing this tune it should be how heavy is that.
The Killers – Read My Mind (Pet Shop Boys Stars Are Blazing Mix) (Read My Mind EP)
Do I really need to say more then Remix of the Killers by the Pet Shop boys?
Papercuts – Outside Looking In (Can’t Go Back)
When I say Papercut you think painful and annoying. When you hear Papercuts, A band from San Francisco, it comes across as something completely different—they are more beautiful.
Ray LaMontagne – Empty (Till the Sun turns Black)
This soft-spoken, Maine-dwelling troubadour does not like interviews. And he has no interest in filming a music video. (He wouldn't be able to watch it anyway--he hasn't owned a TV since he was 19.) The business side of the music industry bothers him. No wonder I love this guy.
This is a pretty cool homemade vid of some of the tune.
Elvis Perkins – the Dumps (All Night Without Love EP)
Quiet beauty from the son of the actor probably most famous for being a murderer that dresses up like his mother. Warning if you do pick up his full length, Ash Wednesday it is about 9-11 His mother was on one of the planes. Its melancholy is a lot to swallow but it is a ride worth taking

Back from the Happiest Place on Earth
we had a great time at Disney and then we spent a few days on the West Coast of FLA. Good times had by all. I have also come to the conclusion that I am not a video guy. I don't like just rolling the film and being stuck behind the camera. That is why I love the digital camera. Snap about 4 or 8 photos of a scene. Capture the moment and delete the not so good shots. Quick in and out then on with life. Hooray for digital cameras.
Did you catch Chris Rock on Good Morning America the other day? You need to watch this. Classic. He was on fire - from calling Robin, Diane to ripping on Britney and OJ and quite a few others.
The new gatekeeper of music: Chris Bro at NEXT well no...it's iTunes and shameless plug number 663. You can hear NEXT tonight at 1071thepeak.com. Thanks for listening.
The class of 2007 for the Rock and Roll hall of fame. I didn't get a chance to watch but I heard wonderful things about Eddie Vedder's speech. I need to watch that. Anyone got a copy?

Heading out to Disney World Soon
But I will return and hopefully this doesn't happen
I really wanted to love the new show called The Sarah Silverman Show but I have seen 3 shows and only like it a lot. Although the last one about the lesiban and the Tab quite funny. There is hope.
Now you don't have to decide between beer and milk. Bilk. Your cornflakes will never know what hit it.

NEXT WEEK 45
NEXT is a new music show at 107.1 The Peak and it's brought to you by Snapple. You can listen on Wednesday nights at 11 (ET) or the rebroadcast on Sunday nights at 8 (ET). We also have a newsletter. I send out this playlist we a few other tidbits and links too. Check out this weeks playlist below. Thanks.
Idlewind – No Emotion (Make Another World )
Scottish rockers Idlewild formed in Edinburgh in late 1995. CD number 5 which should be on shelves sometime soon.
The Damnwells – Accidental Man (Air Stereo)
Overall a bit of a sophomore slump as the rely too much on the ballads instead of the head bopping that made Bastards of the Beat a favorite of mine.
The Slip – Life In Disguise (Eisenhower)
A trio and two of them are brothers…met in Boston in the early 90s. They started out as a Jam band but lately have been floating ever closer to Indie Pop. I didn't even know that I was this cool...this song was in Grey's Anatomy.
Mere Mortals – 13th Floor (Rebel Radio)
3 guys and girl on bass that are based in LA. They are an unsigned and just a very good straight forward rock band.
Feist – That Girl (Kinks Cover)
New CD coming out in May.
Jennifer O’Connor – Complicated Rhyme (Over the Mountain, Across the Valled and Back to the Stars
Her career began in Atlanta but ended up leaving that band moving to NYC and going solo.
John Mellencamp – Ghost Towns Along the Highway (Freedom’s Road)
He has been pleasing fans for almost 30 years and 22 albums and this cd is really no different. All that you love about Mellencamp is in this cd. I love this tune.
The Whitest Boy Alive – Don’t Give Up (Dreams)
the whitest boy alive started as an electronic dance music project in 2003. it has slowly developed into a band without any programmed elements. Side project of Kings of Convenience’s Erlend Øye
Jill Cunniff – Eye Candy (City Beach)
Remember Luscious Jackson? Well she is the former lead singer of said group. She returns after 6 years and 2 kids with a delightfully breezy bunch of tunes. City Beach is dedicated to municipal beaches everywhere, a portion of proceeds from this CD will go to benefit the Surfrider Foundation.
The Magic Numbers – Take a Chance (Those that Broke)
How is this band still together? Two sets of siblings in one band. That is asking a lot. Maybe it’s the glorious pop music they make that keeps them together.
Macy Gray – Finally Made Me Happy (Big)
Her mom knows her as Natalie Renee McIntyre. Big comes out on March 27th. She founded the M. Gray Music Academy in North Hollywood, California which provides affordable after-school and weekend music classes for the youth in the area. And also a clothing line for curvy girls called HUMPS.
Young Love – Underneath the Night Sky (Too Young to Fight It)
A young man from Brooklyn out on tour now and this is his first cd. It’s where dance and pop meet. You can also find Dan Keyes in the currently on hiatus band Recover.
Man I must of dug deep this week. Not many vids on YouTube of these tunes. Enjoy all the same. Sign up for the newsletter and you'll get more love.
