Half Hour Music Hour – Ep. 35 – 1565 Miles To Laredo
by chris on October 1st, 2009
So we have finally hit that time of year when lots of new music is coming out and we couldn’t be happier. Now while it would be easy to just spin all the new stuff we really think it is more fun to through in a bunch of older tracks that you have probably forgotten about or if we are doing a good job, you missed the first time around.
So let’s start with the new. We have brand new Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson along with a big old helping of Half Hour Music Hour favorites Noah and the Whale and Friska Viljor. Along with that we also have a great track by The Films and something brand new by fun. What you want unreleased tracks? Well we have that too by a little band called Vampire Weekend. And just to make it really crazy, there is even some live Weezer. We hope you enjoy it all cause it is gonna be a long drive.
PS – Think you know what the title of the show means? Drop us a line and let us know. The first right answer gets a shout out in the next episode and can request a song that we will play for you.
