As much as I prefer to focus on one artist, band or theme per post most of the time, today is not one of those days. Sitting on a train for nine hours will do that to you. Here’s a roundup of news and links to excellent tunes, gigs and press updates.
Nine hour commute to the other end of the country today means I had planned on knocking out a quick post on the new Jetplane Landing single ‘My Radio Heart‘. Unfortunately I can’t find the online press release or the place where it’s streamed so I’ll have to do it another day instead. If you haven’t already heard it then believe me when I say it is a standout pop tune from an otherwise hard hitting rock record.
Yes, one day I might craft a post entirely out of song lyrics. Anyways… due to my impending brain shutdown due to sleep deprivation, I’m going with a bulletin style post tonight.
The Hazey Janes have finished recording their new album so we can look forward to that potential pop masterpiece.
