Welcome to the Week of October 25th, 2009! Quite a loud, cranking podcast this week - just check out the playlist! We've tried expanding a bit, including more alternative selections, introducing you to some bands you may have missed back in the 80's, but really shouldn't have. This week includes selections from Canada's "Blue Peter" and Berlin's "Picnic at The Whitehouse."
Also this week, we get the chance to meet a new band from Brooklyn, New York - Jonka. They explain their sound the best - "Jonka is a love story. The grandson of a blind subway musician. A Kindergarten teacher from Brooklyn. They found love and they found a voice. Jonka grew up in the 1980's at a time when music and production emanated a larger than life sound. This permeates the music. Together they've created a marriage of pop, synthesizers, dance and rock." Their track' "The Nana Song" is featured this week. Be sure to check them out at www.myspace.com/jonkamusic , as well as on Facebook. Their new CD, "Slow and Steady Wins the Race" is available on iTunes
