A few listens inspired the following stream of consciousnesses…I dunno what any of it means it’s just what came out.
Hidden Gem: The Photophonics “Easy”

Girth Radio Presents…
Yo…finally got around to watching U2’s Kimmel appearance…the new song is strong: The Little Things That Give You Away (clearly Bono is a pre-twitter writer).

Hidden Gem: Karen O “I Shall Rise”

Girth Radio Presents…
O Yeah!!!
“They’ll know my name
After the storms are passing through
They’ll know my name
When they’ve forgotten all about you
They’ll know my name
After the storms are passing through
They’ll know my name
When they’ve forgotten all about you”
They’ll know my name can only come from wait, they don’t love you like I love you…the lovely Karen O. (And it’s origin is as strange as Karen…Microsoft approached her to write the theme song for Square Enix’s Rise of the Tomb Raider which resulted in this track. Bizarre but it works!)
Hidden Gem: Dev feat Nef The Pharaoh “#1”
Sammy Younan
Girth Radio Presents…
Sure…this sounds like Aaliyah-Timbaland-ish (I said ish! Calm Down!); it’s that type of sound. But there’s something about that hypnotic bounce…that type of sound; it just makes me groove. Yes. I hope I’m not the only one. Should we go to dance floor?
Hidden Gem: Sam Roberts Band “TerraForm”
Sammy Younan
Girth Radio Presents…
With famous folks there is a natural reduction that occurs (when Carrie Fisher died how many outlets mentioned her book titles…not a footnote that she was a writer like actually mentioned her titles (some of them are quite good books!) vs Princess Leia?). I’ve never accept the reduction.
Hidden Gem: Tom Chaplin “Hardened Heart”
Sammy Younan
Girth Radio Presents…
Damn…the honesty of a junkie!
Tom Chaplin (Keane’s frontman) has returned (in more ways than one) with a solo album The Wave.
Hidden Gem: Fools “Teenage Wildlife”
Sammy Younan
Girth Radio Presents…
It’s fascinating Fools choose to celebrate Bowie’s birth day…the day (January 8) his life began even though 2 days later (January 10) his life concludes. Fools a spirited collaboration between vocalist Nikki Ashworth and multi-instrumentalist Neil Gray are Bowie fans. I’ve no doubt his passing impacts them deeply…as it does all of us (present tense).
Hidden Gem: Kungs feat Ephemerals “I Feel So Bad”
Sammy Younan
Girth Radio Presents…
It’s that time of year…the calendar has shifted like tectonics (or kinda like technics when the DJ is dropping fire!) and my mind starts longing for Summer like a forlorn lover. My Summer Tradition: I gather those that are close in my life around the shisha pipe and as is our custom…my job is to score the evening. Yo.
