SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Black Tambourine featuring The Rinettes - 'What's Your Game'
Black Tambourine have just released their latest single online - and it features backing vocals from Kristen Gundred aka Dee Dee from the Dum Dum Girls! Black Tambourine are a 'noisy pop' band that formed in Washington D.C. in 1989 and were influenced by the sounds of Phil Spector, The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Ramones, and artists signed to Alan McGee's label Creation Records.
They were together for only a short time and they released only two EP's in the early 90's, but they in turn have gone on to influence newer indie pop bands such as The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart and the Dum Dum Girls - and they've recently reformed!
In fact Dee Dee notes on the Dum Dum Girls Facebook page that it's a 'h

SummersRadio™ Concert News! The Magnetic Fields!
SummersRadio™ Concert News! The Magnetic Fields - 'I Thought You Were My Boyfriend' (Extended Mix)/ 'Too Drunk To Dream'/ 'Washington D.C.' The Magnetic Fields have just confirmed the details of their new album - and a tour that will bring them to Vancouver in March! The band will be releasing their new album (their tenth) on March 6th called 'Love At The Bottom Of The Sea'. It will be their first release of new material on the Merge Records label since their 1999 triple cd '69 Love Songs'. The new album will also mark a return to their signature mix of synthesizer and acoustic sounds - following the 'synth-free triology' of releases - 'i', 'Distortion', and 'Realism'.
'Love At The Bottom Of The Sea' will feature 16 tracks - here's the cover art and full tracklisting: (Owls's live under the sea, right? As always I see a number of cheeky song titles!)
01 God Wants Us to Wait
02 Andrew in Drag
03 Your Girlfriend’s Face
04 Born for Love
05 I’d Go Anywhere With Hugh
06 Infatuation (With Your Gyration)
07 The Only Boy in Town
08 The Machine in Your Hand
09 Goin’ Back to the Country
10 I’ve Run Away to Join the Fairies
11 The Horrible Party
12 My Husband’s Pied-a-Terre
13 I Don’t Like Your Tone
14 Quick!
15 All She Cares About Is Mariachi
There's isn't any advanced audio available for 'Love At The Bottom Of The Sea' yet so we shall revist (just) a few (there are many!) of the band's finest past moments. 'I Thought You Were My Boyfriend' was a single from the 2004 album 'i' - this is the excellent (and totally revamped) 'Extended Mix' that was released on 12" and cd single. I love the line 'Some guys have a beer and they'll do anything' :) ... Enjoy!

This is my favorite song from the 2008 fuzzed up release 'Distortion', the sound of which was influenced by one of my favorite guitar bands - The Jesus And Mary Chain - and Merritt's lyrics are bang on highlarious. This is 'Too Drunk To Dream' - yeah, I know that feeling... Enjoy!
'Washington D.C.' is one of over five dozen (!) wonderful songs on their 1999 release '69 Love Songs' - who knew you could write so many songs about one thing! :p I love the sincerity in singer Claudia Gonson's voice - it's made me weep on more than one occasion :) Although I've never been to Washington D.C. I have perhaps a distorted view of it - by association as being the centre of some rather dirty politics at times - but Gonson (and of course Merritt's lyrics) make(s) it sound utterly and irresistably beautiful... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Thievery Corporation!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Thievery Corporation - 'Take My Soul'/ 'Stargazer'/ 'Fragments' Washington D.C. duo Thievery Corporation release their new studio album of original material - their sixth - today! The album is called 'Culture Of Fear' and features their trademark mix of styles including downtempo, trip hop, dub, reggae, acid jazz, hip hop and lounge music. It contains 13 tracks - with a mix of vocal numbers and a few instrumentals. Vocalists include longtime collaborators Lou Lou and Sleepy Wonder - as well as several new contributors including Mr. Lif, Ras Puma, Shana Halligan (of Bitter:Sweet) and newcomer Kota.
Their website describes the new album as 'a simmering and hazy collection of atmospheric gems that recalls their early production work but reflects a thoroughly contemporary zeitgeist of socio-political angst and unease.' Rob Garza and Eric Hilton are never ones to shy away from politics, and both the album title ('Culture Of Fear') and the artwork - featuring a large 'hidden' camera - are common words and objects of discussion in today's society. This point is further driven home with song titles like the album opener 'Web Of Deception' and the seven minute plus instrumental called 'Tower Seven' - named after the 47 storey building which collapsed on 9/11 even though it wasn't hit by a plane.
Despite it's political overtones the album musically speaking is chock full of relaxing beats, and is released just in time for some summer chillin' in the sun. Here are three standout tracks from 'Culture Of Fear' - first up we have 'Take My Soul'... Enjoy!
This is the fifth track on the album - one of a couple reggae tunes - called 'Stargazer'... Enjoy!
I like the overall spacey feel of this instrumental number - the eleventh track on the album - called 'Fragments'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Paul Ritch!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Paul Ritch - 'Common Sense' (Original Mix) Paul Ritch is a dj/ producer from Paris and he's just released his new EP called 'Circus' this week! The EP is released on the SCI + TEC Digital Audio label which is based in Washington D.C. It has five tracks - the original mix of 'Shake It', along with a remix from Daniel Stefanik - as well as 'Common Sense' - and two dj tool tracks. I prefer 'Common Sense' out of the two main tracks - and I was just thinking the other day how common sense doesn't really seem to be that common at all! I really like the artwork on this one too... Enjoy!
