Song We Like: Hammer of Thor by French Ketamine
Not from France, but from the Galway underground – this is great Velvet Underground inspired garage rock. This is the kinda stuff Sister Ray would groove on.

Song We Like: Black Rainbow by Crooked Ghost
We have totally fallen in love with Crooked Ghost. They have this amazingly rich atmospheric sound, that is both reminiscent of the 80s and better than the 80s.
Band Management: Blog 42: Hear it on the radio…
I am managing “Band A” for a year – to see how far I can promote this band within the music industry. On Monday evening I got a message from a friend that WNCW had announced they were going to play “Band A” during that hour.
Song We Like: Wayward Saint of Day Drunks by Cloud City Caskets
This is a complicated band – in the best way. The ingredients they throw together in this song make up the meatiest stew.

Song We Like: Nasty Woman by Fox Face
Let’s be clear – this is my favorite anti-Trump, anti-patriarchy song. Just go ahead and try to grab it.
Song We Like: Couch Surfer by Meeting House
Classic fuzzed-out blues guitar, funky rhythm, and, god almighty, a voice like a hurricane. Don’t be couch surfing at the Meeting House
Song We Like: Pipe by Styrofoam Turtle
The Styrofoam Turtles have grown their musical reputation through constant touring and rocking the Asheville underground music scene as an explosive live show with great catchy garage grunge punk songs.

So the plan was to use “Band A” to explore the current music industry and also interview all these other labels, publicists, publications, and bandcamp to actually find out what’s happening. And when I got to Blog 100 I’d know something.
