The Ledge #573: Even More Miscellany

This week's episode is another show consisting of material I've been a bit obsessed with around the Hudson compound. The first half is primarily new or new-ish material. The tribute to Justine Covault continues with tracks off the brand new Justine and the Unclean album, The Signal Light, along with new tunes by Lydi Loveless, Kate Redgate, Tommy Stinson's Cowboys in the Campfire, and a great Alice Cooper cover by veteran rockers Zero Boys.

The second half of the show is dominated by older records that I've recently picked up. Many were originally owned by my buddy Phil who had his semi-annual record sale last weekend. But I also have included a couple of reissues of records that I've been trying to acquire for years. The Lyres On Fyre, for example, was the very first truly independant record I've ever owned, and I desperately needed a copy to replace the one I lost decades ago. And then there's Double Nickels On the Dime, the classic double album by Minutemen. Going for big bucks on the used market, SST finally pressed some more copies, and I just could not resist! 

Of course, there's also this week's installment in the "52 Weeks of Teenage Kicks" series. Sahara Hotnights is a fantastic all-female rock band from Sweden who put out some great albums in the late 90s and early 00s. The expanded version of their second album, Jennie Bomb, included the hot version that kickstarts this week's episode. 

And like always, I must again plead with y'all for more versions of "Teenage Kicks". If you are a musician, or have any contact with artists that could record their own take on the classic, please contact me!
