CD Release of the Week #57
Is it that time already? Has it really been a whole week? By golly!! It sure has….and you know what that means!??! It’s time for another brand new edition of the CD Release of the Week!!
This week was a little disappointing for me. None of the major label bands delivered anything good, and the indie bands I were diggin’ on were either a little too weird or a little too sleepy for the 8-10 o’clock hour. So I had to travel back in time….that’s right you heard me correctly…BACK IN TIME!!! All the way back to Oct. 27th where a release by the band The Asteroid Galaxy Tour was sadly overlooked due to Halloween festivities on Talk That Rocks.
So this week we’re featuring the album Fruit by The Asteroid Galaxy Tour. Their music is fun and upbeat and was most recently heard in a commercial for the iPod Touch. So if you’ve been wondering what the heck that one song was…we may have just found it for you. It’s music to make you hopefully forget a bit about the horrible November-on-its-way-to-winter weather outside.
So tune in tonight to Talk That Rocks live at 9/8c where we’ll play through my three favorite songs from The Asteroid Galaxy Tour’s Fruit only on www.talkthatrocks.com

CD Release of the Week #52
Has it already been a week? Man time is going faster and faster these days. Looks like it’s time for another CD Release of the Week.
This week we’re taking a listen to the self-titled debut album from indie-rock supergroup Monsters of Folk. “Supergroup huh?! I’m calling BS on that one,” is what I’m assuming some of you are saying right about now, but sadly you would be wrong. The group consists of Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis (both of Bright Eyes fame), M.Ward (who works solo and is one half of the group She & Him), and Yim Yames (better known as Jim James from My Morning Jacket). I don’t know about you, but this group seems pretty super. Their debut album is full of the intimate, sweet sounds you would except from any of these artists on their own, but together they have each brought their own flavor to these songs. Don’t be afraid of the word ‘folk’ showing up in the group’s name because the album’s fifteen tracks expand beyond that defining term.
So tune in live tonight at 9/8c to Talk That Rocks as we play through my top three picks from the self-titled debut of Monsters of Folk, only on www.talkthatrocks.com
