I missed Soulsavers' show at the Troubadour the other night, but did manage to catch the majority of their live studio session Thursday morning on KCRW (great set if you can find it; I imagine it's floating around by now). The group is presently performing select dates around the U.S. touring behind the release of their third full-length, become a member or log in.

Today, during the second hour of our SIRIUS/XM show, we are airing the Avi Buffalo session recorded last month at Infrasonic Sound Studios in Alhambra, CA.

Really, in 2009 one could almost exclusively listen to nothing but reissues and be perfectly content. The depth, breadth and quality of the stuff coming out these days is just impressive. Enter the Feelies. Released this week, the new Bar None reissues of bands first two LPs, Crazy Rhythms and The Good Earth, are, for fans, a minor godsend.

While summer may be over, here in Los Angeles any semblance of autumnal weather is a ways off. Regardless, the next couple of months are traditionally the sweet spot for new releases.

Following the demise of his former band, Verbena, in 2007 AA Bondy re-emerged with an amazing solo debut, American Hearts, that dug deep into the hidden folk, country and blues tendencies that had always existed below the distortion of his old band.
