The September Music Wrap-Up Podcast

The Music Wrap-Up is a monthly summary of my favorite and other notable new releases. Having trouble keeping up with all the new music? Need some music suggestions? Then the Music Wrap-Up is for you. And please support these musicians as that's the reason I'm featuring them in the first place.

I know, I'm late again, but can you blame me? There was a ton of new music released this September! I dug through 26 albums and picked out a sample track from each. You won't find any long diatribes on a particular artist. You won't find any guests discussing a new release. Instead, it's jam packed with music from start to finish. 110 minutes long and only about 7 of them have my voice. Pack yourself in and turn the volume up, because September had a lot to offer.

Shuffled: No Theme Edition

Every other Wednesday I hit the shuffle button on my 90 gigabytes of music and post the results. I might have to justify some of the stuff in my library, but hopefully it will help inform you of new music -- Or at least be entertaining.

Every time I do this feature I think about deleting a majority of my music library. So many albums I never listen to. You ever get worried that you're missing out on really great music that you would love? I mean, there's billions of bands out there, so I feel the urge to check out any and every one that I hear about. Do I have a problem? Is there a support group for this?

June Music Wrap-Up

The Music Wrap-Up is a monthly summary of my favorite and other notable new releases. The songs are for sampling purposes only. Artists or labels notify me with any complaints and I will remove the song as soon as possible. Please support these musicians as that's the reason I'm featuring them in the first place.

June was chock-full of great music. So much so, that it almost rivals last months April/May dual Wrap-Up. I would have been happy if only Stars and Devo had come out this month, but as usual with these posts, I discovered plenty of great new music in my constant search for more music to feature. That's the reason I love doing these, and I hope why you love reading them.

Unfortunately, as of right now, July is looking kind of slim. I'll cruise around again and see if I'm missing some new releases of note, but I might have to go in another direction for next month's Wrap-Up -- Unless you've got some suggestions you want to leave in the comments. For now, we've got The Villagers, The Chemical Brothers, Ariel Pink, Tokyo Police Club, Blitzen Trapper and much more ahead, so hit that jump and get listening.
