Recently Added To WVCW
Some recently added songs on WVCW - Your Music, Your Station
Spoon - "The Underdog" off of Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
Great single off of what looks to be a great album. If you haven't heard of Spoon yet you're missing out. One of the best bands people have never heard of, hands down.
Also added to recurring:
"I Turn My Camera On", "I Summon You" off of Gimmie Fiction
"The Way We Get By", "Someone Something" off of Kill The Moonlight
Page France - "Hat and Rabbit" off of Page France And The Family Telephone
Light acoustic pop and a good song off of their third album. (Or is it their second and that other one I'm thinking of was an EP? Ah well...)
The Key Party - "Born Permanently Cool", "We Love You", "Wildcard" off of Hit Or Miss
Good Tom Waits-ish southern junk rock out of NYC.
Brown Shoe - "Heavy Handed", "Polliwog", "CBC" off of Vanity
Bloc Party meets something or another. I'm still trying to figure out if I like this.
Common - "The People" off of Finding Forever
Good single produced by Kanye West. I don't know enough Common to really rate this but I dig.
Block - "Easy" off of The Last Single Guy
There's something to be said for inspiration and even imitation. But this... I'm not too keen but maybe everyone else will dig.
Ryan Adams - "Two" off of Easy Tiger
Ryan Adams sticks with his country core in this single off of his upcoming album. I don't know if the entire thing's going to have this sound, but it's a good, low key, old school country sound.
Arctic Monkeys - "Brainstorm" off of Favourite Worst Nightmare
It's fun, it's fast, it's Arctic Monkeys.
Kings Of Leon - "On Call" and "Arizona" off of Because of The Times
These came recomended from a co-worker who happened to hear "On Call" somewhere else. Now he (and you) can hear it here.
LCD Soundsystem - "Watch The Tapes" and "North American Scum" off of Sound of Silver
Same co-worker played this at work the day it came out and it was awesome. The best of 80s synth pop modernized in all the right ways.
Modest Mouse - "Dashboard" and "Missed The Boat" off of We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
It's about time we added something off of the new Modest Mouse. Unfortunately my favorite song off the album has naughty words ("Spitting Venom") but these songs rock enough to suffice.
Spoon - "The Ghost Of You Lingers" off of Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
Another track off of the upcoming album. Spoon rocks.
White Stripes - "Icky Thump" and "You Don't Know What Love Is" off of Icky Thump
Sweet Jeebus on a cracker is this album going to rock. "Icky Thump" is one of the rockingest songs to come out in a long time.
Wilco - "Walken" and "You Are My Face" off of Sky Blue Sky
I was kinda hardpressed to pick out some good songs off of Wilco's new album to add. Not because they're bad, not by a long shot, just that the album is so mellow it really doesn't make for good radio. "Walken" is a bit upbeat and "You Are My Face" gets going after a wee bit so these will do.
Here these songs and more every weekday at noon during WVCW's New Music Hour (which I've taken to calling NEWN because I'm awesome like that).
