I decided to go ahead and shamelessly peddle for sponsors. The longer this podcast goes on, the higher the costs that I will be incurring. Not sure that I can carry this on for more than a year. It has certainly been fun. I have discovered bands that I will continue to follow and endorse. Right now it costs $7/mo to keep it going.  Two months from now, I can either start deleting older podcasts (which, although a lower production quality, the music is superb) which I really don't want to do, or pay up a notch to $15/mo, just for the shear joy of turning others onto some really good music. Although I really enjoy doing that (really, I get a natural high like any artist spreading their art and other's art), I cannot afford to keep doing so. Anyway, so, please don't be put off by my 2 min promotional peddling pander or this paragraph of the same, lol. I'll continue at least till Feb of 2017, the one year anniversary of this Podcast....

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT



West of the Sun
Hailing from London, UK, West of the Sun is riding on the wave of current Neo-Psychedelic Rock bands. Luke Ward, Joe Stratton, Michael Howes, Kieran Callinan & Stevie Durkin give us some mesmerizing and nostalgic and upbeat, yet original music. "Siberian Hysteria" is their new single, with the promise of an upcoming LP later this year.

Dixie Cannon 

 His April 2016 release, "I Catch the Wind" is reminiscent of early to mid 70's Psych, Folk, and album oriented rock. With a tinge of The Beatles' sound and a tinge of 10cc, "Who You Are" and "Close to the Sun" hone in with the current wave of Neo - Psychedelic Rock, while the instrumental "Starlight Theme" mixes country guitar styles in a contemplative mellow strolling Blues riff. His vocals are spot on and pleasant to the ear. Easily some of the best vocals ever played on this podcast. At times I just want to listen to his music out of pure appreciation of the smoothness and accuracy of his voice. The feel of this album is that of listenable and enjoyable overall mainstream Rock that delves into a few related sub-genres. Here is some older music with the Band "Cannonballs" 



Mankultur 

Mankultur is Eric Dantanus from Sweden. Giving us some Electronic Psych Prog with heavy beats and funky rhythms... really looking forward to more music from this artist.
