Halloween is my favorite time of the year, mostly due to the weather and pumpkins. This Monday was a prime example, 65 and sunny all day... I hope this weather sticks for the next couple of weeks. It was easy to be in a good mood while heading up to the studio for this week’s session; I knew the music and the conversation would be great as there was a lot to catch up on, my guests were last on the show 2-1/2 years ago.
The New Bodies are anything but new to the Iowa music scene; all four guys have been playing together since their high school days eight years ago. Seeing the band live, you might recognize them as the former Stuck With Arthur, but hearing them live is a whole new experience. The band has spent the past two years growing into something different all together. We talk all about it during the interview…
I had a feeling these guys would bring in some great records, because I know they spend a good deal of time at ZZZ Records. Christopher is going to be on the show again next week for a Halloween special, so he left most of the record choosing up to New Bodies singer/songwriter Adam Bartelt. He brought in some great ones…and a lot of Bruce Springsteen. Just kidding, it’s always nice rocking out to the Boss. Here is what we played…
Bruce Springsteen – The River Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run Monsters of Folk – S/T Mountain Goats – The Life of the World to Come Bob Dylan – Basement Tapes Bob Dylan – Self – Portrait The Faces – Ooh La La Paul McCartney – II Nick Cave – Abattoir Blues
