Music excerpted throughout the show are from Anberlin, Radiohead, People in Planes, Marc Broussard, and Duke Ellington/Coleman Hawkins.

PART ONE
I had a blast talking to Stephen Christian of Anberlin:

Going through the origin of their name from a Radiohead song, "Everything in its Right Place"
Being on the cover of AP Magazine
Tooth and Nail vs Universal Republic (indie vs major label)
the new album, New Surrender: its cover art and favorite song
Anberlin's upcoming Fall tour and appearance on Jimmy Kimmel

It turns out that Christian is a closet anglophile :). I would love to have him back on and talk about UK bands. Anberlin's fourth album is called New Surrender and will be out on September 30^th on Universal Republic. More information on the band on: anberlin.com and myspace

PART TWO
Singer Gaz Jones from People in Planes was kind enough to talk to us about:

Being on tour with Stereophonics, Welsh bands
About their old name, Robot In The Sky sounding too familiar to "Robots in Disguise"
New York-based Wind-Up Records label
America vs UK culture
The origin of the why "M'Aidez" is also in the title of their latest single, "Mayday"

Beyond the Horizon was released September 9^th on Wind-Up Records. More details about People in Planes on peopleinplanes.com and myspace.

PART THREE
Jazz columnist Dave talks about the recent album he picked up: Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins. 'Nuff said!

Credits: Special thanks to Jessi at Sneak Attack, Gina-Marie at Press Here, Matt at the Syndicate, and of course Stephen Christian, Gaz Jones, and Dave.

Fresh from his appearance on Conan O'Brien on Monday, Marc Broussard shows us how he funk & roll! It would seems he's more popular than ever, selling out Philladelphia, Maryland, & Chicago.

When I was sent "Real Good Thing", I noticed that the MP3 tag shows "Track 3 of 60". SIXTY. It's no wonder the guy keeps coming back! Keep Coming Back was released yesterday on Atlantic Records, and, I felt it was full of blues & funk. He definitely has that southern Bayou sound.

The disc that was sent to me had a very restrictive DRM on it, so I had to listen to the album in my car (I don't really have a regular CD player, I guess), which surprisingly wasn't too bad... although I would've liked to experience it on my headphones.

Also, since I couldn't take notes, I remembered these tracks were good: 1, 3, 7, and 8. I remember liking 8 ("Man for Life") a lot. Track 7 ("When It's Good") features LeAnn Rimes - which you can hear the entire album and judge for yourself on aol.com. You do need Flash 9 (which I hate because the audio dies on Firefox if you have too many tabs open) and aol also installs their plugins. I never got it to work out, but maybe you guys will have better luck.

Since I am a cover lover, I will be checking out last year's S.O.S.: Save Our Soul, his cover album.

Be sure to watch his Conan appearance via Hulu.com:
