The Songs

1. Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros -- Johnny Appleseed from Global a Go-Go. We've just jumped into the new HBO show John from Cincinnati. This old Joe Strummer song is the theme song. It's great when I know a song in a show. It's better when I actually own the song. And it's even better when the song is free on the internet. If you're out to get my honey, then you don't go killin' all the bees? Direct Download.

2. Mekons -- Last Night on Earth from Journey from the End of the Night. Mekons popped into my mind as a great band to follow Strummer. They have so many sounds but are still a bit underrated. Mekons have a new album due out next month, but this ain't from it. No free preview tracks yet. If I were a Mekon.... Direct Download.

3. Magic Bullets -- Heatstroke from a Child but in life yet a DOCTOR in love. New music, emphasis on The Strokes. Direct Download.

4. Portastatic -- I Wanna Know Girls from Bright Ideas. Mellow side project from Superchunk lead. Doesn't sound like SC to me. Direct Download.

5. Graham Parker -- Stick to the Plan from Don't Tell Columbus. There's a bit of an underrated vibe to today's show. Graham's put out a few great CD's the last few years slagging off his mantle of angry young rocker. This is from a few months ago, sounds like the new Dylan. Direct Download.

6. Buffalo Tom -- Three Easy Pieces from Three Easy Pieces. First album in eight years taking a nice side trip to 1994 circa 2007. Direct Download.

7. The Silos -- Behind Me Now from Come On Like The Fast Lane. New Music. Yea, I like Alt Country. Bite me. Direct Download.
