Now that school is over, my longing for roadtrips begins.  And there is one musical maestro who gives me exactly what I crave while driving on long stretches of highway.

Tonight’s Featured Artist:

Devin Townsend

Synchestra!

Synchestra, the last album that he created with his band, provides enough zany anthems and massive sounds to keep me driving for hours.  I could have picked any of his other solo works or Strapping Young Lad albums to play and I would still be satisfied.  So why pick this one??  CAUSE I COULD!  Dig it!

More and more each day, spring seeps into the weather and pushes the cold out to make way for summer. Which means soon, everyone needs to go to the beach or pool and relax. Which also means there has to be a great record to prepare for this kind of metamorphosis.

Tonight’s Featured Artist:

Minus The Bear

Minus The Bear - Menos el Oso

Minus The Bear wrote this record while being directly influenced from their time in Spain (points to cover art). Therefore it’s filled with songs about being on the beach, relaxing and having a good time with a sweetheart. Sounds good to me! Hope you enjoy this bit of indie pop/rock along with the latest in announcements and shows.
