Third exclusive track from London’s Piney Gir, “Miss Havisham” - It was a dark and stormy night and Piney locked herself in the attic with nothing but a pink guitar and a copy of “Great Expectations” what came out was this heartfelt tale of love and loss, add a tiny toy keyboard and a singing saw and go on this musical journey.

This week’s track is from Sean Hoen’s solo album, The Liquor Witch, which came out late last year. Hoen is writing new material and drinking heavily in NYC.
This week we have another track from John Larsen; this one, “Autograph”, was an outtake from his 2003 album Kismet. The album is available in our online store and in stores nationwide as well as on itunes and other pay download services.
