IndieSF...No Format Required

The Michael Jackson trib Rocque did for us last Friday night on the Independent Get Down (dated 6.26.09) is now posted as a podcast so you can now pull it down onto your pc/mac, put it on you music player thingy, or simply play off our site....enjoy.

Hey Indie nation,

Just a quick note to let you know we are debuting some new Modest Mouse today. The band is doing a couple of single releases with one actually being a limited edition (4000 copies) vinyl 7" in advance of a whole disc coming in August. The two songs we got our hands on are "Autumn Beds" and "Satellite Skin". Since traditional radio wont even bother to go and look for the real interesting music that is out there NOW, its up to us to deliver...and you're welcome. 

Thats right - Capitol records has bestowed a generous box of the just released Classic Sinatra 2 disc on us and we want to pass one along to you folks that catch the Five O'clock Frank everyday at 5p (mtn time) here on Indesf.com. The disc includes 20 gems and one previously unreleased track - "This Cant Be Love". We definitely will be beefing up the already large Five O'clock Frank library with this one.....Tell you what - check out the track listing of the new disc and then email me your fave (sam@indiesf.com) and not only will we line it up to play on the 5 O'clock Frank, we'll send you a copy of the collection. Pretty swanky we think...all courtesy of Capitol records and Indiesf.com. As Frank would say - woopy doo!  (Click Read More to see track listing).

Hey Indie Nation,

I had the opportunity to see the magnificent David Byrne Saturday night at Red Rocks and, as with the two previous Byrne shows I have witnessed, he left me with nothing to complain about. This show was different though as he showcased nearly 3/4 Talking Heads songs - something I was NOT expecting. While he is out actively touring on behalf of the disc he recorded with Brian Eno,  Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, he weaved in and out of of classic Heads songs effortlessly (with a crack band backing him up). He opened with 'Strange Overtones' and followed it with 'I Zimbra'..!!!!

He pulled out some other obscure tunes like 'Help Me Sombody' (another Eno collab) and 'My Big Hands'. He revisited

We recently added etown to our line-up of specialy shows and will have it for you in a special commercial free format at 10am MT every Sunday with a rebroadcast Wednesday nights at 7pm MT following Off The BeatnTrack at 6. Coming up this 4th of July weekend, its Abigail Washburn Sunday morning. In 2 weeks, etown hosts The Guggenheim Grotto. 

Hey Indie Nation,

Well, I am back and rested from a nice long vaca in Florida (and have the old retired lady tan to prove it) and have just added scads of new music including a Ra Ra Riot/Vampire Weekend collab called Discovery. We only have the single right now called Orange Shirt but a whole disc is coming. The new Moby single arrived this week and I immediately added it to the library - a return to the sound he mined on PLAY (very Porcelain like).We also are featuring
