Cary Judd stopped by the house and we got to hang out, cook and even record an interview. This show's all Cary lineup:

• "Eclipse"
• "Perfect Tonight"
• "Push Comes to Shove"
• "The Lights are Always On"

"Eclipse"
from Looking Back From Space
by Cary Judd

• Buy at iTunes Music Store

Its a Best of DFR Show! And we kick it off right with a brand new song from The Shins. Here is the lineup:

• The Shins - "Phantom Limb"
• Halloween, Alaska - "Call it Clear"
• The Rewinds - "Sentimental Flaw"
• Dylan in the Movies - "August Moon."
• Chad VanGaalen - "Clinically Dead"

The Shins - "Phantom Limb"

Off of their new CD, Wincing the Night Away, "Phantom Limb" was a must play on the show. No questions.

Wincing the Night Away is due to hit 23 January 2007 but you can pre-order it now at SubPop.com. Based on their two previous full-length releases their third is a shoe-in to keep you loving The Shins.

Subpop is doing something really cool if you buy the LP (thats vinyl or record to you younger listeners). Starting in 2007 any Subpop LP you buy comes with a coupon that allows you to download the entire album in mp3 format. Kind of reminds me of MP3.com when it created its partnership with CDNow.com back in the 1990s. Pretty cool and I wish we'd see more of this fomr other labels. FInd out all the deets here.

Halloween, Alaska - "Call it Clear"

First aired on on DeFi Radio 14.
Call it Clear From their self-titled debut album that was first released in 2003 comes this hipnotizing song. Fans of Fox's The O.C. might recognize two tracks on that album, "Des Moines" and "All the Arms Around You." I felt that "Call it Clear" needed some attention as well. =) Huge thanks to Michele Delfino, Halloween, Alaska, and the entire East Side Label Group! You can hear more at their Myspace site: www.myspace.com/halloweenalaska.

The Rewinds - "Sentimental Flaw"

Spun on DeFi Radio 11, this song is what hooked me, and hopefully all of you, on The Rewinds. Head over to their website and pick up their album. It will not disappoint.

Dylan in the Movies - "August Moon."

Played on DeFi Radio 15.

Another excellent track from the forth-coming CD Feel the Pull. Dylan in the Movies was able to tap the vocal talents of Tanya Donelly (Throwing Muses, Breeders, Belly) for "August Moon" and last episode's "Better Days." No stranger to the public (music from Brian Sullivan's first solo CD Don't Postpone Joy was featured in the WB's Dawson's Creek and Summerland), Brian Sullivan, along with an ever-changing cast of characters, aims to pull you in with their rising and falling orchestral arrangements and poetic lyrics.

Hear more of their tracks over at the MySpace site: www.myspace.com/dylaninthemovies

Chad VanGaalen - "Clinically Dead"

DeFi Radio first-played episode: 16

From Chad's first full-length, Infiniheart, "Clinically Dead" is the opening track. And trust us. It only gets better from there.

Joan of Arc - "Eventually, All at Once"

Chad VanGaalen - "Flower Gardens"

From his latest album, Skelliconnection, Flower Gardens is the title track. Fresh off of Infiniheart, Chad gives us more great music that only he can crank out. Pushing the boundaries of is instruments is a likely phrase that one might read in some fancy music review magazine article.

At any rate, get Skelliconnection from Subpop or in iTunes.

Trouble is on the newest EP entitled Your Biggest Fan due out November 7. You can listen to it now at myspace.com/voxtrot. Drop them a line and tell them its nice of them to let you listen before you can buy it. And let them know you heard them here ;).

In fact, maybe if enough of us send them messages asking to be able to buy all 3 eps in some specially-priced deal, you could score their entire catalogue (which i personally celebrate) for an irresistible bargain. Just throwing that out there.

Canada once again invades the DeFi Radio show. What is that, like the past 10 episodes? They truly are the friendly neighbor to the north.

I was trying to find a link on their website so you could snag the CD. I've sent an email but for now, you can purchase their self-titled album from iTunes. Don't forget to burn an audio CD for your records and to back up all your purchased tracks to CD or DVD. Just to be safe. :)

Thats it for now. Enjoy the music, stay warm, we love all of you, all the bands, all the labels, and especially we love LibSyn for rockin so consistently. The all rule over there.

So yeah, the cool kids over at Tracks Up the Tree got a new episode out before us. Damn them and their timely timing! Well we still love you JJ and FTB. You kids rock.

Denise joins me "in studio" for a rollicking good time. Seriously though, it was a blast. All you can eat wings and free drinks equals great show. And by great, we mean mediocre at they very very best. And we're stretching it. A lot.

And how about the music selection this time? Pretty killer. Please let the artists know you love their music. Drop them a line, buy some merch and of course, keep listening to DeFi Radio. :) Tell everyone you know. Please. :D

Love you, see you soon

Starlight Mints - "Inside of Me"

You can download the MP3, subscribe in your favorite podcast receiver (iTunes, Odeo, plain RSS for all other receivers) and even check out our photo sets on the cool photo-sharing site, flickr.com.

Starlight Mints - "Inside of Me"

From their label:

On drowaton the Starlight Mints paint from a broad sonic palate. Church bells, horns, violin, and synths complement the guitar, bass, and drums. The blend of classic strings, cheeky vocals, catchy melody and ornate surrealism is a pleasure. Packed with hooks, drowaton goes down easy.

Click here to buy Starlight Mints CDs and gear.

Under Electric Light - "Night Out"

Discovered by DeFi Radio's own Ben Taylor, UEL has produced their fourth EP in as many years. Each CD has been better than its predecesor and Blue EP is no different.

You can listen to some tracks over at their MySpace page, which is myspace.com/underelectriclight. You can also purchase their tracks at Bltrack.ca.

Pick up their EPs. Huge things are headed UEL's way and you can get hipster cred before everyone else! :)

What Made Milwaukee Famous - "Sweet Lady"

Lighting up the Austin, Texas music scene many times at South by Southwest, WMMF has tremendous buzz about them.

For example, did you know they played on PBS' Austin City Limits show? Did you know they shared it with Franz Ferdinand? This makes WMMF one of just a few unsigned bands to be on that show?

"Sweet Lady" is from their first album on Barsuk records, Trying to Never Catch Up available August 22, 2006.

So you know what to do now right? Great. Go sign up to be notified when you can pre-order the CD.

Band of Horses - "The Great Salt Lake"

Seattle, Washington's Band of Horses is comprised of Ben Bridwell and Matt Brooke.

Having played together for over a decade, Band of Horses is the fruit of Bridwell and Brooke's past endeavours, most notable is their sad pop outfit, Carissa's Wierd

Catch Band of Horses touring with Chad VanGaalen starting in August 2006. Keep up with their latest tour dates at SubPop's tour page.

Pick up Everything All the Time in iTunes or over at SubPop.

Rogue Wave - "Endless Shovel"

From their second full-length album since joining up with SubPop Records, "Endless Shovel" is proof that there is something to keep you guessing. Each song has a little surprise in it. Nothing that would keep you from listening, just a little something to remind this is not crappy FM radio bubble gum.

Grab Descended Like Vultures in iTunes or at SubPop Records.

Special thanks to Barsuk Records for their support of podcasting and for signing amazing bands. Please take a moment to thank them by purchasing a CD or some merch.

Thanks to Amanda and Anna for hanging out in the "studio."

And the biggest thanks goes to all of you that listen and all the bands that believe in podcasting's power to help promote great music. Its all of you that really make music great again.

See you soon!

Birdmonster - "Resurrection Song"

Hard Fi - "Cash Machine"

The Rewinds - "California Sun"

Get Him Eat Him - "Exposure"

Get the MP3 but really, get the show automatically via the RSS feed.

Mike Davis, Mike Droz and Sergio Aponte from Prime Meridian INDependent join me to bring you four more great tracks. Let's see whats rocking that stuff your skull protects.

Birdmonster - "Resurrection Song"

From the upcoming, self-titled EP comes this great track. What's it sound like? Well Mike Droz says it sounds like The Pixies meets Modest Mouse meets Franz Ferdinand. I agree.

Its a good thing because it gets you nodding your head, tapping your foot, and turning your volume up.

The EP is available for purchase two ways:

1)CDBaby
2)If you're impatient (like me) buy them in iTunes.

Hard Fi - "Cash Machine"

From the their latest CD, Stars of CCTV, "Cash Machine" is a great beginning to a CD that just doesn't stop until you take the headphones off or your CD player blows up.

Influences include The Rolling Stones, The Specials, Massive Attack, and The Clash. All of these are subtely worked into Hard-Fi's recordings. It might take a few listens, but you will certainly hear it.

Pick up the CD, Stars of CCTV here.

The Rewinds - "California Sun"

One of my top 5 favorite bands (if not THE favorite) that I've played on DFR, The Rewinds have sent their first CD off to be mastered and it should be available very soon. You might remember The Rewinds from DFR 12.

Keep checking their website at TheRewinds.com for news about when the new CD will be available and for tour dates. Catch them live if you can. And tell them you heard them on DeFi Radio.

You can buy "California Sun" and five other tracks by The Rewinds in iTunes.

Get Him Eat Him - "Exposure"

Get Him Eat Him is an eclectic group of five young men from Providence, Rhode Island. Their creativity and energy are too big for Rhode Island to contain so expect to see them touring more. Trust me, its only a matter of time.

"Exposure" comes from their latest CD, Do As I Tell on Catbird Records. The CD is currently sold out but I'm sure there will be more copies available very soon.

And don't forget to visit their website at GetHimEatHim.com for news and pictures. Also check out their very informative Sammiches blog.

You can find their 2005 release, Geography Cones in iTunes.

Hope you kids enjoy this episode. We're hard at work finding more great music for number 25 and 26. If you want to submit some music, just send it to defiradio at gmail dot com. Of course you can send feedback there as well.
