The Siderunners - 2o of separation

Yesterday, my NNW feed leapt for joy on receiving this full-feed post from The Evil Genius Chronicles. Anything with the word “Siderunners” in it gets my feet tapping. The Siderunners CD Ain’t Inventin’ The Wheel was the first album I bought after hearing them on a podcast; the EGC Clambake to be precise about the source.

After a brief “oh, shucks”, that I don’t live in Minneapolis, and can’t see them live, I made my monthly trip out the the Siderunners’ web site, in search of their much sought after, maybe even mythical, next CD. Once again, no new album. So from their site, to CDBaby, where I see that Ain’t Inventin’ The Wheel is out of stock for re-production. Good on the ‘runners, they sold ‘em all. Then at the bottom of the CDBaby page, I see this:

Other Notes:
First ever grand champions of the Twang Off - www.twangoff.com

So to TwangOff :: A Battle of the Bands I go, and discover that TwangOff has podcasts. Five so far, all of which I downloaded. Great show! Live cuts from the battle of the bands performances, interviews with the bands, and some podsafe music I really liked.

A great thing about the new wave of music; even when you can’t find what you’re specifically looking for, you can find something you dig.

Now, off to AmigoFish to enter my rating. (Hint: lotta stars for this one).

    Where do you live? We’re trying to tour like freaks all year for 2006. Hopefully we’ll get within driving distance of your town. If you’re really hurting for some new stuff, there’s an unreleased demo of a new song up for download on our Myspace page. If you email me back, I may have something else lying around to tide you over.

    You’ve got mail. :)
