First up, a song I've been dying to put on for a while now, but kept waiting patiently for it to be made available in a longer, more costly form... but I've given up. So here it is now: the band
Behavior (along with
Andrea Revel) did this great song "Clap! Shake! Jump!" which was apparently in an
Old Navy ad, but can be
downloaded in it's two minute from here for free. Then a band from Austin... er, make that Nashville, called
Oh No! Oh My! did "I Have No Sister" from their brand new, self-titled debut (
insound,
online). Next we heard a couple of songs from the Brooklyn-based, multicultural band
Nous Non Plus, first the rockin' "Lawnmower Boy" then a tamer song called "Fille atomique" both from their self-titled album (
iTunes,
Amazon) which came out at the end of last year. And finally my man
DJ Rx finally got cd's out the door, and I was pleased to discover an extra new song I hadn't heard before on it. "I Have HIV/AIDS" is from
RX '08 which you can (and should)
order from his website now.
This episode features a clip from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart about the Bush administration and the national oil reserves (which can be seen in full here) and another from Realtime with Bill Maher on HBO about the myth of social mobility and the reality of the American Dream (which can be seen here).
