We go stumbling forward into our week. Unsure of our direction and our destination, but ever mindful of the composition of the surface of the road we walk upon.
MP3 player is now fully reloaded, and we are ready to shuffle through some of the songs most recently added.
We start out with a cover of an iconic song from the 1980s. August Featured Artist, The Holograms - featuring our friend Galen Wade - are back with a post-modern version of the Talking Heads classic, Burning Down the House .
Next up, we have a song by the band Superdrag, the Knoxville, Tennessee based Alternative band. Superdrag front man John Davis was recently a guest at the Big Star tribute show during the Americana music festival. This one goes back to 1995 and the band's first full length album The Fabulous 8-Track Sound of Superdrag. The song is called Sugar.
Next up we have a song from the most recent album by first wave punk pioneers, The Mekons, who are celebrating their 35th year as a band this year. The band's 2011 album is called Ancient and Modern and the song today, Geeshie, has a old-timey feel to it.
Finally, we have Canadian Corb Lund from his recent album Cabin Fever with a song co-written by Jason Boland of the Stragglers and Texas singer-songwriter Hayes Carll, and performed by Lund and Carll. Bible on the Dash off the album Cabin Fever, is a great example of the Country side of Americana music.
