My song "Elusive Green" is nominated for best Dance Song by the Indie Music Awarts. But right now I want to spotlight one of the other nominees - Miami Consparicy featuring Priscilla Sunshine: "Losing My Head"
I have to admit, I'm digging this one and if I lose, it had better be to this song.
Out now at all the usual places!
"Ordinary Life" by Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders.
As promised, here is a link to the blog version of Radio Free California Episode 2331, which includes programming notes for the radio station (plus links), the first of two videos for my latest single, and a number of swear-filled cheap shots.
Enjoy!

Just received word from Indie Music Channel. The Indie Music Awards are Labor Day weekend.
Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders have received 8 nominations, in various categories for multiple songs.
More details soon.
Thank you everyone. I love you all.
Out August 1st pretty much everywhere, my 10 minute plus epic rock ballad about a man trying to protect his daughter.
From the EP "Hatey", out August 15th, featuring a radically re-worked version of Nick Lowe's "I Love the Sound of Broken Glass", the NSFW version of "Woke AF", a new mix of "Elusive Green" and of course "Ordinary Life".
All these years later and this song still resonates with me.
Good night, my COSO Friends.
And here is the blog version of Radio Free California Episode 2330, which also includes notes about the programming this week on the Internet Radio Station version, a lot of cheap and occasionally vulgat shots, and a video of the song "The Trench Coat Museum" that's part of this week's list that is just great.
Be sure to stay through the credits.

Those of you who live in the San Franciso Bay Area might want to tune into my internet radio station at 10pm PST. At that time (or whenever the song that is playing at that moment ends) I am bringing back a Bay Area staple from radio days past.
I freely admit that it won't be as good as the original, but please tune in for 10 at 10.
Alas, I do not have access to Dave Morey or Don Pardo.
Good night one and all. I leave you with The Trench Coat Museum.
In the spirit of a post I saw earlier in the firehose:
I loved this album as a teenager, and I still do.
