TrentonMakes Posted November 17, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 17, 2018 Been a rough year for new music that I enjoy..... there are three songs that quickly come to mind though. Not sure XPN is playing them - do you know these? "Lash Out" - Alice Merton "How Did This Happen?" - Bodega "Wham Bang Pow! Let's Rock Out" - Art Brut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Lash Out" - Alice Merton - I like it, xpn only has 4 of her other songs "How Did This Happen?" - Bodega - not bad, growing on me - xpn has played it a few times and a good bit of the other stuff "Wham Bang Pow! Let's Rock Out" - Art Brut - very good! They have lots of their other stuff but not that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I am a sucker for the Artist to Watch, and Caroline Rose was May's so a few of hers which they have been playing the shit out of! I think my favourite is More of the Same Thing, closely followed by Jeannie Becomes a Mom. Also I Was A Fool or anything else by Sunflower Bean which they also have played the shit oot of. I think I see a pattern here. Music tends to grow on me the more i hear it, Sort of like fungus, I spose. I remember emailing Bruce Warren one time and suggesting that they do deeper cuts instead of picking one song for heavy rotation, but he was a little miffed at that suggestion. I was surprised. I guess he is the radio professional though, and the heavy rotation worked on me, so maybe there is something to it. I thought I heard a good one by Elbow in there somewhere (I see they have played the shit oot of Magnificent (She Says)), so I'll have to see if that is it. That is aboot all I have off the top of my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted November 18, 2018 I like Homesick by the Marcus King Band - I thought it was Warren Haynes singing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised. His programming philosophy has chased a lot of listeners away. One selected single gets played 2 or 3 times a day until you can't stand hearing it again; meanwhile a handful of other gems on the album are ignored. well, his and Helen's. Someone tell her it's not 1969 anymore. I don't know if it's the same one you're referring to but I like what I've heard from Sunflower Bean. 'Rainbow Kitten Surprise' wins for best band name. The surprise is that they look like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted December 11, 2018 Share #10 Posted December 11, 2018 This song has been catching my ear - lately I'm finding it irresistible, especially the little keyboard riff that starts around 0:58. Is XPN playing this? I don't know if you know who John Grant is - I feel like the singer sounds a lot like him (though surely he don't look like him). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
