The song on today's show is called The Only Way is the Wrong Way by Filter. I'm too tired to go linking this shit to iTunes today. I'm going to bed :)

Talk about obscure music! The song at the end of today's show is from a group called Orbit and called Medicine. Great song, but the band is no longer around. I think they broke up during the Clinton administration.

Today's show featured music from Greenwheel. The song is called Louder Than Words and the links send you to their iTunes page. Great stuff!

Interesting fact: Melissa Etheridge recently covered Breathe, another Greenwheel song. I like Greenwheel's version better. Sorry Missy.

Today's Distorted View featured music from a relatively unkown band called Rubyhorse. It's a shame because I really like these guys. The song I featured is called Evergreen, and the link sends you to their itunes page so you can purchase it.

If you listen to the preview of Evergreen on itunes, you won't hear much. I promise you it's the right song, though. For some reason they chose to feature an instrumental section that really give you no idea of what the song is actually like.

Got a musical suggestion for me? Want to discuss today's song? Leave it in the comment section, fools!

I made reference to the Vertical Horzion in one of my first posts. At the end of the show today we feature a song off of their new album, Go, called "Echo". Follow the link to launch their itunes page.

You may remember Vertical Horizon from their huge hit in the 90's, "Everything You Want", and it's follow ups: "Best I Ever Had" and "You're A God"

Enjoy your weekend, freaky deakies! If you have some musical suggestions, leave me a coment or Email.

If you listened to the very beginning of the show, you heard a spot by July For Kings front-man Joe Hedges. So not surprisingly, we played July For Kings at the end of today's program. The song was, "Start Again" off of their first album, Swim. The links take you to the iTunes store.

JFK is one of those bands where I can listen to the CD straight through and enjoy all of it. Every song on Swim is great, in my opinion, but stand-out tracks include Normal Life, Girlfriend, New Black Car, Anything But Beautiful, Washed Away. I could go on, but instead I'll just urge you to check out the whole thing. And call me a chees-ball, but I think Meteor Flower is one of the prettiest love songs ever. I send that out to the lady listeners of DV....and some of the men. ;-)

Their newest album is called Nostalgia, and after purchasing it, my love affair with JFK continues. Float Away and One by One are a few don't-miss tracks.

There you have it! Download the music and visit http://www.julyforkings.com for more info. Tell 'em Tim from DV sent you!

Today's closing music was by Butch Walker and called San Fernando Sexx Star. There's the iTunes link for you to grab it. Butch's 2002 album, "Left of Self-Centered" has more of a rock feel than his more recent 2004 release called Letters, but both contain great tracks and he's one of my favorite artists.

That's all I got for you today! Enjoy Butch!

Today's music was from a group called Dishwalla. You may remember they had a huge hit awhile ago called Counting Blue Cars. The song I played on today's show was from the same release as Counting Blue Cars, and is called Charlie Brown's Parents. There's an iTunes link for you there.

Also check out their newest album which I think is even better than their first. It's called Dishwalla and features two of my current favorite songs: 40 Stories and Coral Sky.

There you have it! Tuesday's music! As alwways, feel free to leave a comment with suggestions for end-of-show music on DV. Keep in mind I can only play a small clip of commercial music so the RIAA doesn't come after me. I'm just try to pimp some bands I like :)

The music at the end of the show was called Save Me by Dexter Freebish. Here's a link to the iTunes page for their newest album Tripped Into Divine.

You may remember Dexter Freebish from their huge radio hit called Leaving Town. See!? A Blast from the past, right? Other awesome songs by Dexter Freebish includes Ghosts, What I Need, Breathe, geez.. the whole album is great. Check it out!

I'm always looking for good music to play at the end of DV. Email me or leave a comment here.

Peace,

8/26/05 Show Music And What I'm Listening To Now

2005-08-27T02:44:00.000-07:00

Friday's closing music was: Marvelous 3 - Radio Tokyo Clicking on the link will bring you to the iTunes music store where you can purchase this track from the album "ReadySexGo".

If you listen to Distorted View regularly, you'll end up hearing tons of Marvelous 3, as their songs are a great, energentic way to end the program. Marvelous 3 broke up several years ago, but lead singer Butch Walker soon returned as a solo artist. You'll also hear a shitload of Walker's stuff on Distorted View, so I urge you all to check out his site and purchase his work.

I only play a quick 30 second snippet of the song on Distorted View because it's a commercial release, and I don't want to be sued :) I do, however, feel these songs deserve much more expsoure than they have currently received. So, I'm here to pimp them out and encourage you to purchase the music.

My current musical obsession is re-visiting 90's rock bands and seeing what they're up to now. Many of these group shad one or two hits and then faded away. I've found a lot of them are still producing really good stuff. Check out Vertical Horizon's new album "Go" , and Dishwalla's new self-titled release to see what I'm talking about.

Some great tracks on these albums:
Vertical Horizon: Echo
Dishwalla: 40 Stories, Coral Sky
