Loading... Joanna Sternberg – I’ve Got Me
Joanna Sternberg released their second album this year. Their first album was not released in 1971, though this album of indie folk gems would fit along perfectly next to Barbara Keith, Norma Tanega, Margo Guryan, and Vashti Bunyan
I turned 40 this year which seems like the right time to make an effort to start getting into new music again, right? Some newer/new to me groups I really enjoyed were 'Cusp', 'Hotline TNT', 'feeble little horse', 'Florry' and 'Palehound'. Some good efforts from GBV, Lydia Loveless, Jason Isbell (King of Oklahoma, whooo boy), and Joshua Ray Walker (very cool cover album). FTLT favorites Hold Steady and New P put out new albums too.
Here is a playlist of things I liked this year for your listening enjoyment: https://tidal.com/playlist/45a53753-cb6f-4058-9a42-8e812b33cb78

Loading... 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.

Loading... John K. Samson – When I Write My Masters Thesis
Weakerthans frontman John K. Sampson has continued to put out incredible work touching on many of same themes as the Manitoba based indie rockers did in the 90s and 2000s. New materiel from him doesn't come out often but is always a treat when it does

Loading... 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.

Loading... 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.

Loading... 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.
