Album art for DeFi Radio 

31

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

I hope everyone is nejoying their holidays! :)

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.
