Besides those fabulous new records, this week’s episode includes a ton of new Rum Bar Records releases, quite a few new singles from upcoming albums I can’t wait to hear, and concludes with a double shot of some of my favorite albums of the year that have come out in the last couple of weeks. A special thanks to Dig Records for supplying me with the Australian super group Loose Lips! What songs did you did this week?
