I think my single favorite new music discovery this year so far is Lola Young, a 23 year-old from the UK who write truly in your face lyrics and strong songs to go along with them. When I first discovered her song "Wish You Were Dead" she had somewhere around 40,000 monthly plays on Spotify. She now has over 1 Million.
She's earned it.
Here is here new single, "Messy". It will join the rotation at my radio station
New Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. "Frogs"
Required listening.
One of the most imaginative bass lines I've heard in a while.
And to me it sounds like a song that would be the closing track on an album. Knowing Nick Cave, it of course won't be.
As promised, here is the blog version of Radio Free California Episode 2422. There are notes about this week's programming on the Radio Station, plus a small essay (no cheap shots this week) and a video to a live performance of one of this week's new tracks.
Enjoy!

As promised, here is the blog version of Radio Free California Episode 2422. No cheap shots this week - I really didn't want to surf the internet on my day off. I do have a few thoughts about a strange milestone I've hit though.
Also, notes about the various shows coming in the next week on the radio station.

Holiday or no, here it comes - Radio Free California Episode 2422! New music from all over the spectrum this week, including Benjamin Russel with Greg Fraser, Motorists, New Age Healers, Cory Wong, Bess Atwell, Nada Surf, The Besnard Lakes, Scenic Route to Alaska, Kid Moon and much more. Enjoy!
As per usual, my blog version will be up later with radio station notes and so on.
With Richard Sherman's passing I'd like to remind you that the Songwriting team of Sherman and Serman, in addition to everything else they did - including writing the greatest earworm in history - also wrote this, which was a top 10 hit TWICE, in different decades.
As Promised, here is the blog version of Radio Free California Episode 2421. I'll admit, it's not much different this week from just a regular playlist, but if you're even a bit curious about the little internet radio station I run, it's worth checking out to see the shows on this week.
