We start with Scotland's modern-day new wave band
Dogs Die in Hot Cars and their song "Paul Newman's Eyes" from their debut album
Please Describe Yourself (
iTunes,
Amazon,
Other Music). Then we heard a snazzy bluegrass version of
Air's "Kelly Watch the Stars" by
Old School Freight Train which can be found on their album
Bluegrass Tribute to Air: Blue Safari (
Amazon,
Tower), which as you may have guessed is all
Air songs played on mandolins and banjos. Yes, it is glorious. Next was the UK act
Saint Etienne with their song "Shower Scene" from their 2002 album
Finisterre (
iTunes,
Amazon,
Other Music). And we finish with Iceland's
Leaves (The
Coldplay of Iceland) and their song "I Go Down" from their album
Breathe (
iTunes,
Amazon,
Other Music).
This episode has a clip of Todd Berry from his new album Falling Off the Bone.
