British Invasion 1/30: "True Or False It May Be She's Still Out To Get Me"

Hope everyone enjoyed week 3 of British Invasion! Last week I started a "featured artist" that I highlight and play at the beginning and end of my show. I've decided it should be a regular occurrence and this week it was 60's surf rock influenced Brighten boys The Kooks!

Here's the playlist:
The Kooks- Naive
The Big Pink- Stay Gold
Billy Bragg- Help Save The Youth of America
Hot Chip- I Feel Better
Breton- Hours Away
Maccabees- X-Ray
The Higher State- Just Not Today
Hollie Cook- Walking In The Sand
Frightened Rabbit- Nothing Like You
Belle and Sebastian- I'm A Cuckoo
We Were Promised Jetpacks- Thunder and Lightning
Franz Ferdinand- No You Girls
The Libertines- Time For Heroes
MIA- Boyz
The Kooks- Rosie

Here's a picture I took of We Were Promised Jetpacks when I saw them in November

British Invasion 1/23: "A-M-A-N-D-A Norgaard"

Hey! Hope y'all enjoyed the show. I had a few technical issues with my computer and one of the station's old CD players, but I hope everyone heard everything okay. I tried to mix up genres a lot in this show, which is something I will continue to do. There's more than just indie rock out there mates!

Here is the playlist:

The Vaccines- Norgaard
Super Furry Animals- Gypsy Space Muffin
The Streets- Everything is Borrowed
Glasvegas- Geraldine
Los Campesinos!- Death to Los Campesinos!
The Big Pink- Dominoes
Kasabian- Fire
Summer Camp- Better Off Without You
Teenage Fanclub- Radio
Elvis Costello- Radio, Radio
Groove Amanda- Paper Romance
The Staves- Mexico
Foals- Cassius
Joy Formidable- Whirring
The Vaccines- Wetsuit

Here is a live performance of a song I hadn't heard myself until I was putting together this show. Now I can't get it out of my head, so I must share.

Peace,
ISA
