Playlist for 7/31/13: Folk Punk

To celebrate the release of Gogol Bordello's latest album Pura Vida Conspiracy and Frank Turner's upcoming show at Higher Ground this Friday, the second hour this week was a folk-punk themed playlist. I recommend listening to this show if you missed it, because this was one of my favorite theme hours I've done in a while.

Soundcloud Artist of the Week: Danaga

Each week, I will be featuring an unsigned/independent artist that I discovered on Soundcloud. I will play a song from them during the new music hour at 8:30 on my show that week, and will write a bit more about them here. 

Danaga (real name: Daniel Aga) is an electronic music producer from Romania who incorporates hip hop, world music and various other genres into his productions for a very original sound. His latest album is am-n-aripi which he describes as "a collection of stories about the contemporary alienated urban hipster who tries to find his true self". You can stream and download a few of his songs below:

Playlist for 7/10/13: Old Favorites

Sorry...really late putting this up! Been away at SolarFest in Tinmouth, VT this past weekend and it was amazing.

On this last show, during the second hour I played some of my old favorites from my early teen years (when I first got into discovering new music). Many of these songs or artists I discovered listening to the show "Download" with Alex Taylor on WEQX, and this show was actually a huge influence on Flight of the Squawkatiel. If you missed the show, I highly suggest listening to it before it disappears tonight, at http://wruv.org/thisweek?2013-07-10_2000h_Wed-Flight_of_the_Squawkatiel_with_McSquawk.m3u or http://wruv.org/schedule/wednesday

Soundcloud Artist of the Week: Loose Lips Sink Ships

Each week, I will be featuring an unsigned/independent artist that I discovered on Soundcloud. I will play a song from them during the new music hour at 8:30 on my show that week, and will write a bit more about them here.

Our Soundcloud artist this week is a band who are sadly no longer together, but have some great songs you can download from their Soundcloud page. Loose Lips Sink Ships was an instrumental math rock band from DeKalb, Illinois. They took a more laid back, almost jazzy approach to math rock. Highly recommended if you are a fan of the bands that are on the Sargent House label. Here are a few of their tracks:
