intro
From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds of Burlington. I usually play a lot of music from bands who play in Burlington and from all over Vermont, but tonight let’s take a trip around New England and check out some cool songs from the past and present.
1.) Two Sleep Arms – Lendway 2.) The Loops (We’re Those Kids) – The Mockingbirds 3.) Uh Oh – Slowdim 4.) Lean In – When Particles Collide
Particles used to live in Maine but have moved to New Hampshire. They will be doing a tour soon, so check them out if you like to rock. Slowdim are from Boston and have some amazing songs. The Mockingbirds were a 90’s band from Rhode Island. That’s such a great song, and highlights the struggle for musicians to be able to get health care, among other things. Lendway were from Vermont and I miss them. Michael moved to California but the other three guys formed The High Breaks and Matt Hagen is in a few other bands too. OK, it’s time for the next song on the album Bernie Sanders recorded with 30 VT artists back in the 80’s.
5.) The Banks of Marble – Bernie Sanders 6.) Feel The Bern – Violint Wednesday 7.) New Atlantis – Aaron Flinn 8.) Flicker Flutter – Alpenglow
That’s another song from their brand new album Callisto. I had to play the Aaron song because it’s so good, and it’s been raining so much today it reminds me of an underwater kingdom. I love the song about Bernie that really highlights how Bernie’s policies, when enacted, can help make a beautiful city and help people get health care, even musicians. The imagery in that song is so clear. I love the song by Bernie that shows how he has kept the same message for such a long time. Unwavering. One of the great musicians to come out of Burlington has a birthday today. Here is a tiny bit of the music that she has brought to this world.
9.) Tastes Like Nothing – Zola Turn 10.) Dragged Around The Universe – Queen Tangerine 11.) Void – The Lavas 12.) Wing To Me – Alice Austin 13.) Left One In The Rain – Alice Austin
I had to play Rain, since it’s been such a damp day. That is from a recent ep. Wing is from her solo album To A Star In The Yard. Alice started in Zola then moved to QT, then The Lavas before heading out on her own. Thanks for all the great music Alice!! OK, this next song has been running though my head lately.
14.) Neighborhood – Black Rabbit 15.) Righteous – Rough Francis 16.) Local Lore – Savage Hen 17.) Bootstrap – Mac Swan & Black Holly 18.) Be Aggressive – Be Aggressive
Aggressive are from Bradford but come up to rock Burlington now and then. Matt Hagen from Lendway plays bass with Holly, and the metal/punk band uses a banjo instead of guitar. Matt also plays bass with Hen who just have bass,drum, and vocals. Great song from the last Francis album. I can’t wait for the next one. Great song from Rabbit. This next band are playing Saturday at Radio Bean
19.) Little French Earthquakes – Phil Yates and the Affiliates 20.) Crow King – Binger 21.) Kids – Wren Kitz 22.) Doris – Wren Kitz
Those are the closing two pieces form Wren’s new album For Evelyn. He is doing a release show for the album tomorrow. Binger are playing tomorrow at Radio Bean. This next band just had their Kickstarter funded and have begun recording their first full album. It can be a wild ride to see if a band gets a Kickstarter funded and I’m so glad they made it. Here is one form their first EP.
23.) Afterall (Glad We Made It) – Kat Wright & The Indomitable Soul Band 24.) Last Love – Myra Flynn 25.) Naive Melody – Strange Machines (W Hayley Jane) 26.) Avalon – Split Tongue Crow
Such a lovely and powerful song from Crow. They are from Rutland. Machines are from Boston and come to Burlington now and then. That was recorded in February this year at Nectar’s. Great song from Myra. I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next week. Ta ta.
27.) Sayonara – Black Rabbit
