The Persian Claws | The Persian Claws from Burlington, Vermont deliver a heavy dose of stripped down, powerful rock and roll. With a garage punk-rock sound steeped in late 1960’s surf styled riffs, these troubadours of raw rock and roll power have delivered a dangerous set of tunes with their album, Caged and Unreleased. Find out more about the Persian Claws on soundcentury. | 5/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

My Goodness | I want to send a big thank you out to Sarathan Records out of Seattle for tuning me in to the sounds of My Goodness. They are yet another rockin' band out of the Pacific Northwest. They are offering a free download to get a feel for their sound. The tune is C'mon Doll and is the song featured here. You can download it on the bands website, as well as purchase the full album. You can hear My Goodness performing live from a recording at the KEXP 90.3 Studio in Seattle by clicking here. KEXP is a fantastic radio station and a powerful resource for solid music. | 4/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Poi Dog Pondering | My first listen to Audio Love Letter, by Poi Dog Pondering, was in my office at the University of Maine, which is more like a closet. I just didn’t enjoy the album all that much on my first listen. I blamed it on the flurescent lighting and the hum of the aging server that contributes to the technology infused, artificial being of my office. Yeah, I thought to myself, the lame environment was the culprit. Poi Dog still has it. I just need to listen to it later. I need to take some time to listen to it in a more music friendly environment. I do this a lot with albums. Sometimes on my first listen, I just don’t dig it. Second listen, it starts to entice me a bit. Third listen, it could become my new favorite album. (Read More at soundcentury.com | 4/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Al Hotchkiss | Glasgow, Scotland has always had a hot music scene. There must be something in the water there. So many awesome bands come out of this town. Soundcentury attempts to stay tuned into mainly New England unsigned bands, but just for a little change of pace, decided to branch out into some unsigned bands from Europe for this podcast. There is just so much good music, it is really hard to just commit to the New England bands. | 3/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Jason Spooner | The folks over at Sarathan Records (http://sarathan.com/index.html), a very hip record label based out of Seattle, WA, recently got in touch with me to let me know about Jason Spooner. A successful songwriter, Jason Spooner hails from Maine, but now tours all over the states. I unfortunately missed his recent performance at the Strand Theatre (http://www.rocklandstrand.com/) in Rockland, Maine. I heard it was an amazing show. But you have another opportunity to catch them live in Maine when Spooner and his band rock out the Brian Boru Pub (http://www.brianboruportland.com/index.html) in Portland, Maine on St. Patty’s day. Go check them out if you can. The song, Black and Blue from the album The Flame you Follow, that I have featured in this post is available as a free download (http://www.jasonspooner.com/free/blackandblue/) on the Jason Spooner website.

Revolution Remix | I plan to keep trying to get cool New England bands on Soundcentury when I can. I also plan on trying to cover emerging alternative energy companies more. I have a big list of what seem to be really exciting companies that hold a lot of promise in ending our dependence on big, bad oil. But, lot’s of other things take priority at the moment over this site, but I will try and get to it as often as possible. So, please check back once and a while. Who knows, you might just find out about a cool new band or discover a new alternative energy company. This podcast features Wicked Funk (Funk Rebirth Mix) by Kwanzaa Posse feat. Fela Kuti (with some sound bytes thrown on top) > Black Rain by Ben Harper > Funky Dollar Bill by Funkadelic > Funky President by the man James Brown > Vital Juices by Funkadelic > Tight n’ Shiny by the Jesus Lizard > UMASS by the Pixies. | 2/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Phish Remix Fall Tour 2010 | As I mentioned in the previous post, I neglected to renew my domain name and so down went this site for a little while. Sorry about that. Thought I would get things cookin’ again with a little Phish remix (http://www.phish.com) of some of their songs from the recent fall tour. I got a little bit from a whole lot of shows including Halloween in Atlantic City. The band has definitely tightened things up a bit, but they still know how to set sail and get lost in the jam. The New Years run should be quite epic and if I were able to make it to just one of the shows, I would pick the first night at Worcester. I think this show is going to absolutely rock. If you just stumbled upon this site in your Internet travels, welcome. If you come back every couple weeks, you will be able to listen to a new podcast featuring a cool band from New England, or a set of music I throw together. The podcast is also available through I-Tunes. (http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/soundcentury/id346983317) Just search Soundcentury. Happy New Year!!! I am feeling that 2011 is going to be a good year (: Oh, and if you still are looking for tickets for the Phish New Years run, make sure to visit Cashortrade.org (http://cashortrade.org/) This is a fantastic website connecting the Phish community. This podcast features Phish – Remix Fall Tour 2010 (http://www.phish.com) – Cookin’ on Three Burners (http://www.cookinon3burners.com/content/index.htm) – Push it Up > Ted Nugent (http://http://www.tednugent.com/) – Live it Up | 12/17/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Welcome Back Soundcentury | Well, the site was down for a few days as I forgot to renew my domain name :( Things have just been crazy busy and I kind of threw Soundcentury on the backburner. I considered bagging the whole project, but I am coming up on the one year anniversary of the site and I really want keep going with it. I may limit my podcasts to just two a month. I wish I had more time to dedicate to this, but I just do not. But, the good news is that I will be rocking the site for at least one more year, shedding some light on some really cool bands from around New England. I have also been getting more into messing around with loops derived from funk and rock. Here is a little something I have been messing with. So, expect a new band up here soon and sorry about the site being out for so long. Take it easy, Dan | 12/13/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Hot Day at the Zoo | When I think of a hot day at the zoo, I envision flies swarming around piles of polar bear pooh, chocolate ice cream streams flowing down crying kids faces, strings of pink bubblegum oozing off the grimy bottoms of my shoes and an overall feeling of wanting to leave nearly as much as all the poor animals locked up around me. Actually, I also think of peanuts too. Which is weird because I think that is just due to the presence of peanuts in a lot of kid’s books about zoos. Truthfully, I have not been to a zoo in a really long time, and I think that has quite a bit to do with the fact that I don’t really believe any living thing should be locked up in a cage and gawked at… These days, when I think of a steaming afternoon at the ol’ zoo, I also think of the New England based progressive bluegrass, rock and roll quartet Hot Day at the Zoo. The popular string band brings thoughtful songwriting to the table and sets it neatly with a pioneering technical sound that brings together new and old Americana. Hot Day at the Zoo has released three rock-solid albums, including their latest, Zoograss, which was released in January, 2010. The band is out touring around as I write this, so go on over to their website, and discover more about this fantastic New England band. They are supposed to be incredible live. This Soundcentury Podcast features: Michael Hurley – Can’t Help Myself > Bruce Haack - Maybe this Song > Michael Hurley – Open Up – Hot Day at the Zoo – Gypsy Moon > Long Way Home > One Day Soon – Brick – Good High – Iron Maiden - Prowler | 10/28/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
