Another week, another new music weekly.
New Ian Noe album is the leader of the pack on this weekly shangri-la. Other big ones are the new album from Freakons, Beau Jennings & The Tigers and Bailey Bigger. Oh yeah and the ep/single from The Reds, Pinks and Purples, which has been out for a while . Don’t know how I missed that pop beauty. Maybe I didn’t expect more greatness so soon after the album. There’s more though and this week gave us great new releases from Ex-Vöid, The Hanging Stars, Sylvia Hansel, Todd Farrell Jr (also a few weeks old, I knew about it but forgot to include it. solo acoustic versions of Benchmarks songs etc, the songs work this way as well, still love Technicolor for example), Walter Martin, Allison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves, Aldous Harding, Lewis McLaughlin, Kathleen Frances (this one is also a couple of weeks old EP that I missed at the time), Young Prisms, Palm Friends (EP) and U.S. Highball.
My favorite Finnish release of the week is the album from M. Beautiful renditions of songs from the sixties. We also got an album from Riitaoja and a run of singles from Joose Keskitalo and Paavoharju, Team Play, Anton Haring, Mara Balls, Janne Tapio and Vellamo.
And finally the international (should be) hits of the week. A big deal is that we have the first single from a new Chris Bathgate album that is due out in May. I’m also very fond of the new outtakes from the forthcoming albums by Katie Spencer, Erisy Watt, Thomas Dollbaum, VanWyck and Steven Lambke. Then there’s a fabulous new Craig Finn tune and double a-side power pop blast from Uni Boys. Plus Jeremy Squires, Stanhope, Reilly Downes, Caroline Spence etc. Oh yeah a new version of one of my all time favorite songs. Nothing will beat the original, but this new version of I Don’t Care to Dance by J.E. Sunde is also a beauty. And that’s again just naming a few. There’s a whole lot more that you can find below.
That it’s for this week. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. Appreciate everything. Love from a distance.

Oh and do buy the vinyl/cd/download. Spotify and other streaming services are perfect for these introductory purposes, but try to buy at least the music that matter the most to you
I’ll make the playlist on Spotify and then transfer it to Tidal. This means a few tracks might be missing from the Tidal version, if they are not available on that platform. Usually it’s 1-3 tracks that are not on Tidal. There’s a bunch of older episodes on my Spotify profile, if you miss an episode or want to revisit.
If you are looking this after a week has gone, the embedded Spotify will show the latest playlist. I’ll just update the same playlist because if someone wants to follow it, they can just follow that one list and will get a new set of songs each weekend.
