Bear Hands is a band we know and love here in The Zone because of the song “Giants.” The follow up single is a cut called “Agora” and yesterday a remix from Com Truise was posted. Let’s hit it!

Bear Hands will be on Conan on October 27th!

Penguin Prison is the worst name for a group. Penguins should be in nature, not in jail. I Heart Moosiq posted this beauty jam.

Finally…I like this chill Ryan Hemsworth song, “Snow in Newark.”

Fact Mag says these things about the song.

That’s all I got…. oh wait… Saddle Creek is re-issuing Cursive’s The Ugly Organ… pre-order YUP!

Thank you JR at Ditch Records for the head’s up…he really is the best record store guy on the planet.

I had Ugly Organ in the compact disc player during the time around the birth of my son Jack.

That part that says “The worst is over..” over and over and over. It resonated with me after his birth and both baby and Mom were alive and healthy. It’s one of those Dad things… when it is game time….it is just Mom and babe and there isn’t much you can do but strap in, trust in the medical science, and hope. After it is done and everyone is safe and healthy, you think…OK, this is gunna be alright.

I do l know of course…wait, this is just the beginning! But for the moment, it’s all good.

Aaaaaaand. New Foo Fighters today. This will be a big deal at the radio factory.

Now…that is all I got. Time to hit Part and Parcel for lunch!

Go with yourself.

I was listening to Alt Nation on my way to the pizza Joint for some grub before the Grey Cup.  They punched up this bluesy young lovely named ZZ Ward.  The 24-year-old LA based singer has a timeless vocal style, but she also messes around with hip-hop.  The combination gives her a unique spin and I’ve enjoyed the songs I’ve heard so far.

Lets get started with the single.  From her record Til The Casket Drops which came out in October.

Visiting Billboard, she laid down a cover of a lesser known Etta James single, “Charlie Ain’t Home.”

“‘Waiting For Charlie’ was not her most popular song,” (ZZ) Ward points out, “but it’s so haunting, and the emotion when she sings that song is so strong.”

Lastly… ZZ Ward “borrowed” the beat from a Freddie Gibbs hip hop tune.  The song worked out so well they collaborated.  Then Com Truise got ahold of it… and now we got a sexy slow burn.

Go with yourself.
