We're taking a break from recording this week to prepare for The Weekly Current 2.0. Send us some songs, yo.
Good afternoon, everyone! What's good in local music right now?
Word on the street is that @usmfreepress is cooking up a nice profile on one of my favorite bands in Portland. We'll find out who next week.
I talked about my love for @Essencehiphop on episode #9. Here's another way of me saying it, via album review: bit.ly/okKs9Y
To be honest, we'll constantly push this question since we're a weekly podcast.
We got some responses from artists already, but we'll keep asking:do you have any new music coming out? We'd love to spin some songs. #maine
@ksteeves That could be an interesting episode. I'll consider.
For everyone else, you can plug the podcast's RSS feed into your RSS reader/music player: bit.ly/nYXJGz

Here's an audio promo for a fictional local music show I created for an audio production class last year: bit.ly/olvn7k
And though this podcast only started in June, it's a project I've been wanting to pursue for a long time.
You know this little radio show called @allsongs? That's kind of what inspired the creation of this podcast.
Now that Kegan is gone, I need to find some guests for future episodes in the coming weeks...

Have you seen the new Glass Fingers music video? We played the song on episode #9. Some real promise here: bit.ly/q0rihs #maine
Good afternoon, everyone. Any local bands releasing albums in the next few months? We'd love to hear them, even if just a song. #maine
