Idiot Glee may be coming on Rainy Dawg for Milk and Cookies this Saturday March 10th. I say may, because he is a busy guy coming down from Canada and he may not get here in time. Regardless, go see him and Islands at the Vera Project that night, it should be a great show.
More info about the possible in-studio soon.
Listen to a new track by THEESatisfaction called Enchantruss. Ryan will interview them this Saturday March 3rd at 2pm. Tune your computer to Rainy Dawg Radio to listen. We’ll all be eating oatmeal-raisin cookies.
Listen to Pony Time live tomorrow (February 25th) on Rainy Dawg Radio. They play at 2:30 and there’ll be chocolate chocolate orange cookies. I’ve eaten a bunch of the batter already and it was so good. Get your face rocked off and listen to us eat the cookies. Then go see Pony Time play on March 4th at the Crocodile.
Here is the archived audio from when Bryan John Appleby was on Milk and Cookies. While you are listening to things, check out other in-studio at Rainy Dawg.
Listen on Saturday at 2:30 to Milk and Cookies to hear Dude York rock their jams while eating some classic chocolate chip cookies. Tune in on Rainy Dawg Radio.
Oxford based Jonquil’s first release in the states One Thousand Suns EP was a sparkling pop burner, the voice of Hugo Manuel ricocheted over fast paced Latin rhythms and simple guitar parts. The band fleshes out some of the ideas in that aforementioned and manic 22 minute EP into a 40 minute full length called Point of Go. For this new album, Jonquil slows down the mix and adds more instruments. The slower and more laid back feel works against their own sound, however. “This Innocent” dawdles to a stand still and the layering of sounds doesn’t build to anything of note, it only drags the listener along without arriving. This song and a few others fall flat, especially when compared to tracks that are reminiscent of the band’s previous release. “Mexico” is one of those tracks, constantly shifting, covered in glitter, an airy indie-pop jam. The first single is the real gem of the album, “Its My Part” blends burning guitar, the voice of Manuel, and a straight forward, wood block driven rhythm into a soda sweet track. Jonquil’s new album is half good. It shines when they incorporate dance rhythms into their easy going pop music. But half the songs stray from this and don’t achieve anything.
Tune in to Rainy Dawg Radio this Saturday, February 11 at 2:30pm to hear Bryan John Appleby on Milk and Cookies. Host Hans Anderson and Bryan will be eating butterscotch-oatmeal cookies while Bryan plays wistful and percussive folk music.
Bryan plays the Neptune on Friday February 17th as a part of Damien Jurado’s CD release party.
