First up, NYC's
The Hong Kong did "Tongue Tied" from their forthcoming
Slow Motion Gets Around album, but you can
download it now from their website. And be sure to
check out the video which co-stars
Dean Wareham of
TSiMH favorite
Luna fame. Next Brooklyn's
Ben Kweller did his decidedly "Falling"-esque song "Until I Die" from his new self-titled album (
iTunes,
Amazon). Then the notoriously overlooked late-60's pop band
The Free Design did "An Elegy" which can be found on the collection
The Redesigned Originals, Recorded by The Free Design (1967-70) (
iTunes). Then, just for the hell of it,
Jennifer Trynin did the hit "Better Than Nothing" from her 1994 album
Cockamamie (
iTunes,
Amazon). She also has a recent book out called
Everything I'm Cracked Up to Be (
Amazon). And finally the incredibly
Billie Holiday-sounding
Madeleine Peyroux did a great cover of
Elliott Smith's "Behind the Bars" from her 2004 album
Careless Love (
iTunes,
Amazon). She also has a brand new album that's worth checking out called
Half the Perfect World (
iTunes,
Amazon).
This episode features clips from the audio book version of F.U.B.A.R. America's Right-Wing Nightmare (iTunes, Amazon) by Sam Seder and Stephen Sherrill read by Sam Seder, largely because of the recent news involving Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL).
