I just read news that the WOXY.com home page will be taken offline in a few days.  No more sleuthing through the Lounge Act collection for musical gems, such as this recording of Band Of Skulls playing a striped down set for WOXY in 2009.

I suggest taking a moment and pouring through the WOXY Lounge Acts and downloading some of the live sets before they are gone. On the websites message board the former owners, Future Sounds posted this message:

They could have really hit the nail on the head by signing off with this:

To say farewell to WOXY.com I put together a playlist comprised of an entire day of WOXY programming from 10/31/09.  Tracks from the likes of The Temper Trap, Band Of Horses, Sea Wolf, The Hives, The Smiths, The Flaming Lips, Dinosaur Jr., The Antlers and Generationals, to name a few.

WOXY is near and dear to me, as it introduced a college kid in Cincinnati to a world of modern music.  I have gone to countless shows from hearing bands on WOXY and it saddens me that it’s now officially gone.  Life moves on and it’s not healthy to fixate on something dead, but I still miss knowing that I was always just one click away from the future of rock and roll.

For those interested, former WOXY Program Director and morning DJ Mike Taylor now runs a music blog entitled The Big Beat and evening DJ and Futurist Editor Joe Long still runs Each Note Secure. Both are great resources for new music.

I wish Shiv, Mike, Joe, Brian M. and Brian N. all the best.  Thanks for filling my days with quality music.

This being the 10^th Ear Trumpet Playcast we went over the top with 51 tracks to tickle your eardrum.  We also added a new listening option on Spotify.  For those unfamiliar Spotify is a music service that allows one to search and stream around 15 million tracks from their computer & smartphone. You can fulfill almost every your musical want in a matter of seconds.

There is also a social feature on Spotify that syncs with your Facebook and LastFM allowing you to easily share tracks, albums and playlists with friends in one click or check out what they are listening to.  You can also stream music offline on your smartphone if you pony up for a membership which is well worth the $10 monthly, meaning you that you can kick out almost any jam on your next road trip or bike ride for that matter.  If you’re a music fiend like myself you should try it.

Enough of the sales pitch, on with the music…

Welcome to the 9^th Playcast.  An eclectic mix of new music for you lushes.  We went a bit electric this time around, due mostly to my compiling tracks for a new segment for the blog entitled XXX Beats, featuring modern dance remixes and new electronic music.  Stay tuned for that.

Some artists off this playcast that I’m currently into include Crookers, No Surrender, Active Child, Little Scream, Das Racist and MEN.  I’ve been digging the band Honey Claws after hearing their track Digital Animals on Breaking Bad, which is off their 2008 EP Healer.  One thing that impresses me about Honey Claws is how contemporary their sound is, even though it was released almost 4 years ago.

The Bloody Beetroots are another electronic outfit I fancy and I warn you they are rather intense.  Their new album Romborama reminds me of Offspring’s album Smash, probably because both albums are total mayhem.  At any rate I hope I introduce you to something new.
