Podcast (?) #19- Something Corporate, Dr. Dog, Dredg, Green River Ordinance

So.

I recorded and put together a podcast two weeks ago, and thought it sounded really good. So I saved it, and uploaded it... and then re-uploaded it...and re-uploaded it...and I noticed a pattern.

MyPodcast.com, the free service that I use to host my Podcasts was deciding to not properly save the podcasts, regardless of how many times I uploaded it. Awesome. I figured I'd try tomorrow. Nothing. The next day. Nothing. So now, two weeks later, I have a slightly stale podcast that I can't get uploaded. Could I break down and pay for a podcast service? Sure I could, but I don't quite feel like doing it. So for now, I am going to revert back to the old blog-style postings for music until I figure out what I'm doing podcast-wise. So without further ado...

The first song this week is a brand new one from Something Corporate. I can't believe I'm saying that either. They've reunited for some shows across the USA (Bamboozle, etc.) and have released a greatest hits compilation. They have a few new mixes of old songs, and a couple of unreleased tracks they re-recorded as well, including this one. "Wait" is a song they recorded for a sampler they handed out at a show way back in 2001 I believe. It never made any proper Something Corporate album, but now makes the Greatest Hits. Here's "Wait" by Something Corporate:




Our second song this week comes from Philly boys Dr. Dog. They have been described best as "psychedelic rock." Formed in 1999, they have released 6 albums, including their latest, "Shame Shame," which hit stores back in early April. From the new album, this song is called "Stranger."




Our flashback track this week comes from a band that, to me, is kind of hard to describe. They are experimental sounding, but at the same time, radio friendly... even though radio has never really paid much attention to them. They are called Dredg, and they formed back in 1993 in California. They toiled around their home area, releasing their debut album in 1998, and getting snatched up by Interscope Records. Via Interscope, they released albums in 2002 (El Cielo), and 2005 (Catch Without Arms) before independently releasing an album in 2009 (The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion"). For a flashback, I will dig something off of the progressive rocker's 2005 album "Catch Without Arms." This is "Sang Real"




And finally this week, we will finish up with some straight ahead pop-rock. Green River Ordinance is a band I have featured here on the blog/podcast before. Formed in Texas, their major label debut album, "Out of My Hands" hit stores in 2009. Their first single "Come On" was a minor pop hit. They are following it up with this song... it's called "On Your Own"




That's what I have from two weeks ago. I'll see what I can do about formatting/updating this with new stuff again soon. Enjoy the music!
