The second half of the show was/is the gem of the entire evening. New music was splattered all over the place. My personal fave for over a decade, We Are Scientists returned. My favorite Empire City one-man-band, Bachelor, graced us with new sonic splendor. The Joy Formidable, Conrad Keely, Field Music, Swerve, Lust For Youth, Disappear Forever, Cherry Crush & Safe Places added a plethora of newness to the evening's listening. Finally, the night was capped off with new material from The Last Shadow Puppets, The London Suede & In Isolation. All brilliant stuff!

It was a glorious evening. My aim with Rotten Radio has always been tri-fold. First, I love new love Alternative music & I love exposing it as much as the discovering part. Second, the classics, neo-classics & too soon forgotten songs deserve another day in the light as well. Finally, I want Causticvox! to be a voice & inspiration for Alternative music lovers of all ages. I might fail or succeed on even given stream but as long as the inspiration remains, so will Causticvox! Until the next stream, keep your shoe tips pointed & your heels high!
