It's the annual Christmastime podcast we now do as part of what we do: 5, actually 6 amazing songs from our holiday past to play for you to hear as part of your festive par-takings: TRAVIS, COBIE CAILLAT, BLACK KETTLE, CHRIS TRAPPER, RAMONES and THE DARKNESS all offer up their holiday best, as obviously chosen by us. Happy Christmas 2024!

Welcome to episode 90 of our weekly new music podcast, hosted by 20-year WBCN dj and 4-years WERS in college radio, Shred. It's always 5 new tunes and this week we hear from BEARTOOTH, ODD MARSHALL, WONK UNIT, PARTY NAILS and LILIES ON MARS & STEFANO GUZZETTI in the span of just 19 minutes playing time. Please listen, hopefully for your own enjoyment.

Monday seems to be our new day to drop new episodes of the BCN Shred Podcast on and here we have episode 89 for your ears to hear. 5 songs per usual, all great, this time: SAM FENDER, NEW TRANSLATIONS featuring MICHIGANDER, CAPITAL CITIES, THE KOOKS with LOVELYTHEBAND and BEACH WEATHER. All in a very succinct 20:08 playing time to put on in the background as you are doing other stuff and maybe get turned on by a new song or two. That's what influencers do. damn. life. you people.

Episode 88 of the weekly podcast for 20-year WBCN dj (the longest standing part-timer at the station ever) Shred hosts each week in his namesake WBCN Shred Podcast is here for your ears to hear. 5 new tunes with 2 bands you've definitely heard before, but new songs by: EKOH featuring LO SPIRIT, HONESTAV & MOD SUN, TWENTY-ONE PILOTS, SMASHING PUMPKINS and WALLICE. All good in 19:15 short time for you to pop it on and have a listen.

87 is here with 5 new tunes for you to hear by 5 bands you rightly may have never heard of before (and that's why we're here). This week we have Mercury, Jenna Raine, Lara Ruggles, Amble and Robbietheused to make those ears a little happier than they were before you heard these songs. Don't you feel better? 20:09 for you to use wisely.

86 is here for your ears to listen to 5 new songs by bands you likely haven't been exposed to before. We have new songs by Japandroids, Meteor Police, Latvian Radio, Hataalii and Madi Diaz. We can't possibly encourage you enough. 17:41 of listening time you would put to much worse use.

Episode 85 is ready to roll out and have basically no one listen to 5 bands that you should be putting your ears on, but are far too busy with all that other important stuff you need to do for yourself to not be able to give us 16 minutes to hear the likes of Girlfriend with Baby Swag, The Dare, Vienna Vienna, Twenty-One Pilots and Katastro featuring The Maine. But you're too busy, concentrating on what you need to. I know these things can be all encompassing. I've lived through it all, believe me. Happy listening from former 20-year WBCN dj and 4-year WERS dj Shred, who wishes you good ongoings.

We are pushing this thing out each week to small returns, which is a true shame, considering how all over the map new music travels these days to arrive at ears to hear good songs. We try to go for 5 good songs you should hear each week, but no one apparently cares about listening to anything that isn't smacking them in the face. All good. We carry on. 5 songs/bands you should hear: Jack Kays, Drook, Blackstarkids, Anna Shoemaker and Vundabar are all worthy of your minutes. 17:37 for you to energize your soul.
