Yes, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows arrived this morning, and Jessica and Richard read the book in about 3 hours. They are now re-reading at a more leisurely pace. But I was able to record the podcast in peace, without the usual interruptions and background noises.



The Neon Company - Neon Planet

Feedback and guitar sounds in this track to open the podcast. It doesn't necessarily go anywhere, but I like it! The Neon Company are from Wakefield, Yorkshire, UK, and are presently working on their first recordings.

Elk City - You Got Me! and Cherries In The Snow

Two songs from the New Believers album, by Elk City from New York. In the album, the band calls upon a wide palette of influences: 1960's psychedelic bands such as Love, the girl group sounds of classic Motown, 1970's proto-punk heroes John Cale and Television, and 1980's alternative rock such as The Smiths and The Pixies.

Farewell Redemption - Lately and Naive

Farewell Redemption are composer and guitarist Jordan Pier and lyricist and vocalist Cristina Negron. Their music encompasses embracing lyrics, passionately delivered by a powerful female voice and melodic, dramatic, intricately performed acoustic and electric guitars and keyboards. Driving, rock drum beats set a pace and a moving groove.
