The Big Show: Season 2, Show #1
The “second season” of our roughly bi-weekly round-up of the finest rockin’ pop tunes from across the planet kicked off with a basket full of new music for your distinct listening pleasure. New, and relatively new, music was represented by Jonathan Rundman, Mothboxer, The Sharp Things, The Little Secrets, Yorktown Lads, Hidden Pictures, The Hangabouts and Samuel Justice. We snuck in a set that followed “Okinawa Girl” by Joe Sullivan and “Japanese Dancer” by Aerial with Kurt Baker’s raucous version of “Turning Japanese.” We played a Big Star original and an acoustic cover of a Big Star’s “Life Is Right” by The Well Wishers back-to-back. James Brown even made his debut hereabouts with his classic track, “Out Of Sight.” As always, the complete tracklist appears below the embed. Pop That Goes Crunch radio streams 24/7 right here.
