OK… Back by popular demand… here is my second John Mix For you of  some of my favorite Chicago Punk that I’ve been listening to over the past couple months… and even some that I started playing over ten years ago when I started OKR. Since I have way too many tunes to play here from my favorite bands.. I will be having a Part II to this mix coming up soon enough. Until then… sharpen your teeth on these choice cuts.

This is my latest John Mix of songs for everyone…. I get many questions on who I think impacted my life in music after doing OKR since 1997… and based upon my responses… some of my friends, listeners, and even some bands had never heard of whom I was making reference to, but wanted to listen to the bands to find out if they would like them. Years ago I would make mix tapes for people and that would work just grand… now a days… it comes to this podcast!! Just click on the album names to buy the music.

Looks like I really mean “kinda” weekly…

Anyhow… This weeks session we’ve got some great new music, and a couple of old ones… Mostly because I was too lazy to actually do a podcast the past couple weeks the music has been piling – don’t get me wrong, there’s not hundreds of tracks I think you should check out – there aren’t that many new great albums out there, but enough for me to get off my ass and pull two or three podcasts in a row… and yes… WEEKLY… well weekly for a couple weeks at least, no promises after that. In fact I do make the promise that after the next couple weekly podcasts I’ll probably skip a couple weeks because I know myself, and that’s what will happen…

Anyhow, check it out. As always if you’re interested in the band, click their name and get more info. Let me know what you love, what you hate, what you want to hear. . . Hearts!

So the podcast actually starts out with a track from a short movie, I’m highly addicted to: Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, from Joss Whedon. Starring Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day and Nathan Fillion – if you haven’t never seen I highly recommend checking it out – you can also search on youtube for some clicks as well.

For all of you whom are not familiar with Haymarket Riot,  I wouldn’t say it too loud or you might be looked at like your a dumb ass, here is a brief background on this amazing Chicago band.

Haymarket Riot is a Chicago, Illinois based post-punk rock band that was formed in 1999 by Mike Bennett, Kevin J. Frank, Fred Popolo and Billy Smith.

The current line-up consists of Lead Guitarist – Chris Daly (ex-Sweep The Leg Johnny), Lead Vox/Guitars – Kevin J. Frank (ex-Gauge), Bass Guitar – Fred Popolo, and Drums – Brian Wnukowski (also in the band Cougars).

Since 1999,  Haymarket Riot has toured North America, Europe and Japan.

On April 7, 2009  Haymarket Riot released its third full length album titled Endless Bummer. The CD version is a limited pressing with hand silk screened covers, and has been reviewed here at Onekindradio.com if you’d like to read it – Click here!

On September 22, 2009 the band will be releasing “Endless Bummer” on vinyl with a different album cover art, poster, and extra tracks with a digital download card with it. For more information on this release and how to pick up their other releases - Click here

Known for their powerful live shows and original/explosive sound… I was more than happy to sit down with these boys from Chicago before they were to take off for their shows overseas in October where they are heading to Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, and Belgium.

We all met up at The Blind Robin bar here in Chicago and talked about all the latest news going on with the band now… and what they have been up to since their last release in 2006.

Here is the band live on stage in 2006 playing in front of a huge crowd in Belgium.
The song being played is “Grand Canyon”.

Dance Music For Yer Moms

Featuring independent electronic bands I’ve been listening to recently (and one that isn’t an electronic band at all).  Cooler than frosted tips with deep orange tans, but nowhere near as cool as those American Apparel bodysuits with v-neck mesh inlay panels…it’s easy listening dance music for the rest of us.

Not actually recommended for anyone’s moms.

Ladytron – “Highrise”

Fujiya & Miyagi – “Pussyfooting”

Faunts – “Feel.Love.Thinking.Of”

Red Wire Black Wire – “Reverse Tinman”

Thieves Like Us – “Drugs In My Body”

The Golden Filter – “Favorite Things”

To My Boy – “Model”

Crystal Castles – “Vanished”

Say Hi To Your Mom – “Blah Blah Blah”

Cut Copy – “Lights & Music”

Belle & Sebastian – “Your Cover’s Blown”
