Listen "Whiskey & Bananas Vol. 29"
Episode Synopsis
Moth to the Flame — Chairlift
Get into the holiday weekend mood with this upbeat indie pop song.
Let’s Dance — Ramones
The Ramones take on the 60s dance classic.
Lipslap — Kero Kero Bonito
This Japanese pop-inspired project from London is on fire — can’t wait to check them out in Chicago this fall.
I’ll Be Loving You — The King Khan & BBQ Show
The retro rock n roll duo The King Khan & BBQ Show makes you feel like dancing and that it’s 1958 again.
Betty — Pom Poms
Talk about retro — this new pop project from LA is bringing the classic vibes hard, and we’re digging it.
Dia Ja Manche — Dionisio Maio
Legend has it, in 1968 a ship carrying keyboards and synthesizers disappeared en route from Baltimore to South America, and reappeared on a small island in Africa covered in cosmic space particles, changing the course of African dance music. It’s pretty groovy. (https://analogafrica.bandcamp.com/album/space-echo-the-mystery-behind-the-cosmic-sound-of-cabo-verde-finally-revealed)
I Couldn’t Spell !!*@! — Sam the Sham & The Pharoahs
Even copywriters know sometimes there aren’t enough words for when someone breaks your heart — and this deep cut from 60s pop-rock group puts it to song.
Bang Bang — Betty Chung
Hong Kong singer Betty Chung covered this Nancy Sinatra classic in Mandarin in the 60s.
Far Away Eyes — The Rolling Stones
Run a few red lights (not really) in honor of this Stones semi-deep cut, a mainstay of quiet classic rock radio afternoons.
U.F.O. — Jim Sullivan
If the cosmic African synths of Dionisio Maio’s earlier track didn’t carry you away, let Jim Sullivan’s “U.F.O.”
Keep listening for the 4th of July holiday track…
