Words by Tim Lewis.
I just got back from my local music radio show on internet only Wbkm Dot Org. It felt like I had a good mix of songs.
Song before: Ricky The Rider – The Mountain Says No

intro
From our small city to the great big world, these are The Sounds of Burlington. I saw a ton of music in the last couple of weeks, including last Thursday when I went to The Monkey House to see Elephants of Scotland play a killer show. I’ll get to that soon, but first it’s been such a lovely day in Burlington. It was sunny and in the high 40’s and people were out and about and the trees are budding and there are the beginnings of flowers at my house. Winter might not be quite done with us, but the signs of spring cannot be denied. This is Garden Flower by Maryse Smith on WBKM, and this is Burlington’s Kind of Music.
1.) Garden Flower – Maryse Smith 2.) Ferry Ride – Steph Pappas 3.) Wally Rides The Ferry – Zoot Wilson 4.) Happy Birthday Harry – Hana Zara
That’s another great song from Hana’s new album The North. It was so cool to be at the CD release show at Radio Bean when the place was packed, and people were singing, and it felt like a mini theater and everyone loved and bought her music. I’ll be playing more from that album in the coming weeks. Classic songs from Zoot and Steph, both of whom are Burlington legends. I think Maryse is going to play live on my show in a couple of weeks, so we have that to look forward to. Yea!! Last Saturday I went to the Monkey House and saw Swale, Hallelujah The Hills, and Villanelles and it was great. Each band was tremendous and I’m going to play one from each in this next set. Here is the next song from The Next Instead.
5.) Beaten Down – Swale 6.) Hallelujah The Hills – Hallelujah The Hills 7.) Parking Lot – Villanelles
All three bands were just great. Last Thursday, instead of doing this show, I went to the Monkey House to see Elephants of Scotland and they played a killer long set, with two exciting new songs. Last Monday they played a shorter show, with the new songs, at Nectar’s for Metal Monday, so I had to go to that too. They played this next song at both shows.
8.) Mousetrap (live) Elephants Of Scotland 9.) Yena – Brave The Vertigo 10.) Msp2 – ROUGH FRANCIS
Great song! I can’t wait for the new album!! Vertigo played after Elephants at Metal Monday and were kind of cool, though it was a little hard to get into them after the killer Elephants show. These next two artists used to play around town in the early ’90’s and have recently gotten together for a new project.
11.) Outta Site ’15 – Nother Mother Brothers 12.) T-Bone Stop Sign – Kelly Ravin 13.) Play That Part – Lowell Thompson and Crown Pilot 14.) Shiny Side Up – Nother Mother Brothers
That’s a fun new song from David Jarvis Mark Crowther. I love the idea of being brothers even if not related. That said, it’s good to always remember to tell your family and loved ones how much you care about them. Here’s a very new artist that I don’t know much about. I think it’s a person named Gary Peters from South Burlington.
15.) Collapse Song II (The Painter) – Ghost Weapons 16.) Sparks – The Color Exchange 17.) Burn It Down, Bernadette – Phil Yates & The Affiliates 18.) The Day I Met You – Dirtminers 19.) Windows Down – Lendway
It’s only in the ’40’s, but after the long winter, with all the sun today. there were lots of posts about driving around with the windows down. People are out and about and walking around tonight. Lendway are playing with Waylon Speed sometime soon and are at Radio Bean tonight. Cool song from Raph Worrick‘s old band. The new Phil Yates album should be out very soon. Love that song. Exchange played Nectar’s a couple of weeks ago and I still have that song in my head. Here’s a song from a new band I have not seen yet but hope to soon.
20.) Womb With A View – Heavy Plains 21.) Nowhere Feels Like Home – Fire The Cannons 22.) Say It – Anachronist 23.) The Clown – Invisible Homes 24.) Before The Evening’s Thru – THE VACANT LOTS
The lots used to play around town a lot but now play all over the world. Lucky world. I love the “we might just all be clowns” lyric from Homes. Clowns if we’re lucky. Making people laugh and have a good time is something to aspire to. Love the Anachronist song. The FTC song was featured on the Caring Is Knowing benefit album. Burlington is great about doing albums and shows to raise money for worthy causes. I got to see a lot of cool people at the Swale show at the Monkey House last week. It was great to chat with Tyler Bolles, Maryse, Britt Shorter, and it was really nice to talk with Sean Toohey and Ann Mindell to find they are playing together with a bass player. I’m psyched to hear how that sounds. Here is some of the music of their past and present.
25.) 1,000 Lies – Sean Toohey 26.) Imaginary – Envy 27.) Gold In California – The Red Telephone
I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town, let’s do it again next week, shall we?
