Live from the Saturn Bar. I can not highly enough suggest that you see them live one of the 4 times a year they perform. This is the best show I've ever been to. Sea shanties shouted arm in arm with strangers at 3 am.

Amanda Shires: “Detroit or Buffalo”
Amanda Shires belting out the Barbara Keith classic from 1973. As always, thanks to jobu and the gang for having me. I always enjoy it. If you ever pack and and go to Buffalo, just let me know.
James Yorkston, Nina Persson & The Secondhand Orchestra – Hold Out For Love
Not my favorite song from the album but probably my favorite album of the year so far. You may know Nina Perrson from the Cardigans, Soundtrack of Our Lives, A Camp, or being indie Tammy Wynette. She is one of my favorite singers and unsurprisingly she offers some wonderful harmonies here.
Ringo Deathstarr – So High
Making their WGOM debut, I think, meet Ringo Deathstar. Gimmicky names aside feels like what would have happened if My Bloody Valentine listed to pop punk records growing up. I think that is a compliment.
Kelly Buchanan – I Hate To See You Like This
Being funny when writing a song is really hard. Times and tastes change and sometimes a joke isn't funny the 30th time you have heard it.
My two favorite songwriters who are consistently funny are John Prine and the Fountains of Wayne team of Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood.
Adam passed on pretty early on in 2020 from Covid, much like Prine. This recording was from a tribute done in 2021. There is a certain weight to the performance given the reason for the show but I love the way Buchannan belts this out. Great tune, great performance.
Andy Pratt – Avenging Annie
Sometimes I find old songs or records and they seem really interesting and fresh to my ears considering they are 50 years old. Then I talk to people who were around when they came out and they tell me this band sucks and it is uncool to like this song.
Not sure which was this one goes, but Rodger Daltrey covered this song when he went solo. Doesn't touch the original though. Couldn't find a live version from when this came out so here he is doing it ~10 years ago on some radio station in NH. A pretty cool song/performance if you ask me.
Nikki Lane – Send The Sun
Making her first WGOM appearance since 2018, Nikki Lane.
Drug Church – Million Miles of Fun
I find that in December and January I am always in the mood for punk music. This was the band that caught my ear this year at that moment.
