First up, London by way of Los Angeles by way of Wichita, Kansas Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra did the great song "Kiss the Sky" featuring Nino Moschella who sounds remarkably like a woman from his new album Voices and Choices (iTunes, eMusic, Amazon). Then listening to "Kiss the Sky" reminded me so much of an old track from San Francisco's Handsome Boy Modeling School called "The Truth" which featured Roslin from the band Moloko and hip-hop artist J-Live from their 1999 So... How's Your Girl? (iTunes, Amazon). Next was Chicago's 1900's doing a couple of great pop songs from their debut EP Plume Delivery (iTunes, eMusic, Amazon), we heard "Bring the Good Boys Home" and "Whole of the Law". Next was Los Angeles' indie-pop band Irving with two 5-star songs from their most recent album Death in the Garden, Blood on the Flowers (iTunes, eMusic, Amazon), we heard "The Gentle Preservation of Children's Minds" and "Jen, Nothing Matters to Me". And finally Brooklyn's own fantastic Elizabeth Harper (not to be confused Dennis Kucinich's wife of the same name) did "Let Me Take You Out" from her great self-titled debut album (iTunes). This episode features a hilarious bit of April-fools-day-foolery from On The Media (podcast), as well as a clip from Real Time with Bill Maher (podcast).
