THE FRIDAY FIVE (10/25)

A day early...

DEX ROMWEBER DUO-Death Of Me:
If you've never heard of Dexter Romweber, well you have been missing out on an amazing collection of music that dates way back to the mid 80's as a member of the highly influential rock n' roll/rockabilly band the Flat Duo Jets. Dex's output of music includes 10 cd's with the Flat Duo Jets, 6 'solo' cds and 3 as part of the Dex Romweber Duo which includes his sister Sara on drums. He also plays with a band called the New Romans which involves up to 10 members and play/rehearse in his garage every Thursday night. This song, Death Of Me, is from their 2011 Is that You In the Blue release.



THE STRYPES-What a Shame:
An Irish garage rock/rhythm & blues band that is made up of all teenagers! This song is from their debut cd Snapshot, that was released just last month. Definitely working the 60's mod vibe and doing it well.



B-52's-Private Idaho:
This song is a real gem in so many ways. My favorite of all time from the B-52's. I get way too excited every time I hear this song and when it came on the radio this week, I almost crashed the car. Find this on their 1980 cd 'Wild Planet'.



ARCTIC MONKEYS-R U Mine:
From their most recent release called AM. This band is awesome and love to see them continue to grow their sound. Joshua Homme, from Queens of the Stoneage, has worked with them on their last couple cd's and that has produced this heavier sound. Well done lads.



MAX SEDGLEY-Slowly:
Max is a British DJ and producer. This song is from 2006. I loved the song when I first heard it but the video takes it to a different level.
