Today’s random album of the day is the Ghost Boobs EP from Gravy Train!!!! I could not find the EP online so I’ve included the music video for the song Ghost Boobs which is obviously on the EP. I love this song and EP. It’s so fun! And I love Gravy Train!!!!’s unapologetically queer aesthetic. Their music is dancy with a punk touch. Extra points for each exclamation point in their name too!

Continue ReadingToday’s random album is a Daytrotter session with T. Hardy Morris. I don’t see it online so I just shared a random album of his below. His music is good but I didn’t find it appealing enough to want to buy more. And I’m trying to pare down my collection so I actually removed it after I listened. It’s solid rock ‘n roll though and many people would find his music appealing. I enjoy it too. I just don’t need it.

So we’re currently doing a music league using the Band Jam App and our theme for this round is Song for a Rainy Day. I found so many songs about rain when looking into this, so I decided randomly to do a top 50 list. So listen below, or click below the fold for the list…
The tentative plan is to do a different top list every couple of months. It may be a theme list like this one. Or it may be, for example, top songs from a particular band. Or maybe even something different.
Continue ReadingToday’s album of the day is a 7″ single from The Vaccines featuring their songs Tiger Blood and Tuck and Roll. This is the only Vaccines in my collection. It’s actually pretty good Indie Rock. It’s not top tier (from my subjective view), but it’s solid. Now I couldn’t find a streaming version but I found a collection of their B-Sides that includes both tracks.

Continue ReadingSorry for no random album yesterday. I was busy getting the podcast posted. Today’s random album is Wars from xbxrx. This has a bit of a punk flavor, perhaps experimental sound. It uses lots of sudden stops, distorted guitars, and lots of vocal echo. I’m not always a fan of vocal echo but it works well here. This, like zzzz’s album, has a bit of a chaos feel which I love. Overall, I am so pleased these albums are coming up as the random albums of the day. I have not listened to them in some time and I forget how much I like them!

Welcome to the Radio Shower Weekly Highlight Podcast with Jayne. Issue #1. Leave your comments below…
Today’s random album is Palm Reader from ZZZZ. I always liked this album. I love the horns and the chaos of it. It has an almost jazz feeling with obvious rock overtones. I guess you’d label it as experimental. Which I must admit is a genre I often love. And I do love this.
Continue ReadingToday’s random pick is Rhonda Vincent bringing some stylin’ bluegrass with their album The Storm Still Rages. I like bluegrass, but I’m no aficionado. Still this album has some good tunes with a few tunes that fell flat for me.

Today’s pick is an album from the punk band Q and Not U. Honestly, this has probably been in my collection a long time but I don’t know that I listened to it after I bought it. And this album is soooo good. Really good stuff. Not surprising for a band on Dischord, but really nice to re-discover this!

Today’s pick is a compilation tribute album to blues singer Papa Charlie Jackson featuring Cary Moskovitz, Jen Maurer, Adam Tanner, Dom Flemons, and Jerron “Blind Boy” Paxton. I love blues and this compilation does a neat thing where it has the original versions of every song followed by the covers. So you get to hear the original and the “modern” version. Normally I’d share the Bandcamp link but that only includes the covers so I’m using the Spotify link today. What do you think?
