Alright, we're finally leaving 2015 behind with a mostly normal show fulla surf & instrumental hodgepodge. Yeah, there'll be a little bit of a Bowie tribute in there, sure.
Last week's show was the second round of all 2015 material. Here's what that looked like:
Playlist for 1/4/16
Duane Eddy is trying to raise some cash to make a follow-up to 2011's Road Trip. He's using a service called PledgeMusic, which I haven't used before -- doesn't seem to say what the total amount is but he's 68% there as of writing.
I actually never got around to hearing Road Trip and I'm going to go ahead and say it: this is a bit on the expensive side. Digital download comes in at $12, vinyl is $55. Yow!
If you've been listening to The Fathoms, you've been playing it safe! Ugh, sorry, I'm pretty sure this band has nothing to do with The Fathoms, these guys are out of Austin, TX playing horror-surf. While mostly comprised of originals, there's some choice covers of Famous Monsters, The Ghastly Ones, and MOAM. The gloomy, creepy guitars get charged up by some surprisingly explosive and eager drumming. If you're a horror-surf fan, point your ears this-a-way.
2015 is done, and it was pretty damn good. But there's already some things looming on the horizon for 2016 to get really excited about.
Last week I played ONLY songs released in 2015. It was easy. So I decided this week I'd feature a bunch that weren't featured in the Gremmys. Easy too!
This is the last 2015 extravaganza, though there's still a number of great records that didn't show up in either show.
Anyway, here's last week's playlist
