I tried my best to coax Don into the Holiday Spirit. Judge for yourself if I was successful. We have all kinds of music on the show tonight, from the traditional, the not-so-traditional, and the not even remotely traditional Christmas Music.

DOWNLOAD IT HERE (for Safari/Firefox/iTunes) This episode of IR is a bit unusual in the fact that I felt it necessary to go on a bit of a rant. While that’s not abnormal, THIS rant is about YOU the listener and indie music junkie. It’s not harsh, it’s just very honest. But on to the important stuff!

So I decided to try and put together some of my favourites from those first 25. I also decided to release this in mixtape format. The 11 songs I picked total 45 minutes, so would fit on one side of a C-90 cassette, if you happen to still have one, and a tape deck to record it on. Alternatively, you could burn it onto a CD and give to a friend, to help spread the word. Popularity: 46% [?] December 5, 2007 Previous to the launch was a SoCal episode which Jason Evangelho, the main show host, used to smash a glass of Guinness over our prow and send us careening on our way. Michael Catanzaro of the San Diego regional show actually came up with the show name around that time, and the SoCal Sessions soon expanded into its own feed several months later. This hourlong tape covers some of my favorites since last December, although definitely not all. It would have taken a few more volumes to hit that marker. Trust me, I had several folders of quality local music I had to ween down to put this together. I would like to ask one thing for those who read this blog and enjoy some of what you’ve heard this past year. Please click on one of the band links below and either a) leave a nice comment or b) purchase a track. In doing so I’m sure you’ll make someone’s day and possibly even inspire some more great music to be created in the future. Consider this small gesture our year-end fundraising drive for local artists who’ve supported us. Thanks for all the support; more great music on the way soon!

2. Timothy Simpson | The New Year
This is a new song from IR Orlando favorite Timothy Simpson. He has a bunch of new Snocap tracks on his MySpace page, available for purchase! Some exciting developments in the works for Timothy: he’s been told by his management company that 3 labels are negotiating to sign him. He also recently mentioned in a MySpace bulletin that he will be “playing a music festival in Austin, Texas in a few months” so keep an eye out for more details on that!
For more info about Timothy Simpson, check out this recent article.
Signo Nata on MySpace
Their band name was derived from Latin and means “Birth Sign.” Their sound is a melting pot of musical characteristics from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s mixed with a dash of alternative rock in Spanish. Although they are bilingual (English/Spanish), most of their songs are in Spanish as a tribute to their cultural upbringing.
Rocket 88 on MySpace
Catch Rocket 88 in Orlando at the Peacock Room on December 21 or at the Downtown Arts Center on December 28. If you can stand still at a Rocket 88 show, you can’t possibly have a pulse!
Christian has a solid following in the Central Florida area and recently played at the Anti-Pop Music Festival here in Orlando. You can download a bunch of his songs from his website. This one, “Take Me Home” is from his debut 2007 release “this is my music”
You can also buy his songs here for a mere 27ยข or the whole album for $3.
The OaKs, another IR Orlando favorite, have spent the last few months in the studio, recording their 2nd album. This is the first single to emerge from those sessions. You can download it now at their MySpace page. The new album, “Songs For Waiting” will be released on March 4, 2008, but in the meantime, you can see them play on Saturday, January 5, 2008 at the Social (with S.K.I.P. and Kingsbury). They’ve also said that if you bring 3 friends to the show and introduce your friends to the band, you’ll receive a free copy of “Our Fathers and the Things They Left Behind” as a thank you from the band.
The band has also recently announced that they’ll be playing SXSW 2008, so look for them to play some tour dates on their way from Orlando to Austin.IR Chicago #14
