It’s that voice…Declan O’Donovan sings each note coated in anguish…it’s clearly raining on his picnic:

Hidden Gem: Joey O’Neil “Play Dumb”

Girth Radio Presents…
Fun Fact: Joey O’Neil can play…wait for it…the kazoo! Kazoos are cool (#KazoosAreCool). Why she isn’t at the top of the Billboard charts with an ability like that remains one of life’s mysteries, akin to what’s in your Taco Bell taco. (Better not to ask…)
Hidden Gem: Freedom Or Death “This Crowded Room”

Girth Radio Presents…
Still getting personal with the Someone Not There soundtrack, this time Episode #4 “Best Friends.” (You know, I’ve haven’t had a proper best friend, like a proper together taking selfie BFF. Is that strange or normal or hopefully both?)

Girth Radio Presents…
Young Beautiful In A Hurry have a spectacularly solid track on the Defiance soundtrack. (I’ve never watched the show…or Fallen Skies either of them any good?) Feed your ears some yummy sonic candy:

Hidden Gem: Larra Skye “Neverending Nostalgia”

Girth Radio Presents…
Ah yes…Neverending Nostalgia, anybody whose lived in the 80s knows what this feeling is like. Acid washed jeans and Choose Life t-shirts aside, Neverending Nostalgia is totally ideal for the Someone Not There web series.
Hidden Gem: Nicole Simone “A Well Kept Secret”
Sammy Younan Girth Radio Presents… Continuing spelunking the spirited Someone Not There web series Episode #1 “The Launch” closes with this emotive sonic elegy, formerly by Late July. Fittingly concluding Episode 1, we leave Roland and E friends for certain lovers perhaps stuck in vulnerability. It’s so strange how we can know someone so well and yet…
Hidden Gem: Juliana’s Daughter “In Which She Melts”
Sammy Younan Girth Radio Presents… From Someone Not There web series Episode #1 “The Launch” comes this spectacular track by Juliana’s Daughter. Such a treat to be able to include in the web series soundtrack (thank you Janice!!). Listen to that chorus: “I melt like butter around you / And my heart’s aflutter around you.”…

One of the funnest aspects of being one of Girth Radio’s curators is uncovering hidden gems. We honestly need an honest infographic for how much music is being made and how much is not being discovered. It’s as criminal as a Batman villain.
Hidden Gem: Shawn William Clarke “Sunday Quiet”

Here’s all you need to know about the following Hidden Gem:
Hidden Gem: Lorde “Team”
Let’s get down to business, because business is good.
This track from Lorde, Gaga’s current single “Do What U Want,” few other singles floating on cyber space clouds are ouija board channeling the 80s. See business is good. For such a maligned, parodied and ridiculed decade it’s influence on our current Arts and Crafts is splendid. These days all I want to do is dance.
