Season Two — Episode One (Feat. Cady Drell) Oct 09, 2017

Show notes

Welcome back to NOT 97—this is Season Two’s premier episode featuring the one and only Cady Drell (@hella_drella), Glamour Magazine's current Sex & Relationships Editor.

Cady brings strong, indie rock stalwarts to the table—two bands with passionate local followings that have managed to stay under-the-radar for years: Boston’s Bad History Month & Brooklyn’s Charly Bliss.

“Big One,” a stand out from Madeline Kenney’s recent debut, is discussed, as well as the dense, industrial production of classically-trained jazz vocalist Novelty Daughter.

In addition we feature retro-inspired selections from Gavin Turek and Million Miles—singers who’ve developed fresh, modern takes on soul music.

01 "Big One" by Madeline Kenney 02 "Being Nothing" by Bad History Month 03 "What You Want" by Danny Dwyer 04 "Ice Cream & Cigarettes" by Million Miles 05 "U Want What I Want" by Novelty Daughter 06 "Black Hole" by Charly Bliss 07 "My Momma Got A (Benzo)" by Duzzo Dave 08 "Birdie Bees" by Gavin Turek

Season One — Episode Six (Feat. Van Common) Sep 18, 2017

Show notes

Van Common—the Amsterdam-based singer-songwriter featured on episode two—was in town and had time to drop by the Only NY shop. This is season one’s bonus episode. The recent conservatory graduate came equipped with two picks from his alma mater: Midas and Bungalow.

We reach to Melbourne once again, and as a testament to the scene’s diversity, feature wildly different sounds (and takes on a break up) from Liv Cartledge and Jaala.

Shadowy rap acts from Massachusetts and New Jersey come to the table to display the rich crop of talent budding in the sidelines of major American cities.

01 "Yellow Bird" by Ben Stevenson 02 "Caroline" by Midas 03 "You're Not For Me" by MC Shabazz 04 "Heard Your Name” by Liv Cartledge 05 "Junior Spirit" By Jaala 06 "Fox" by Bungalow 07 "Floor Seats" by Mach Hommy 08 "Get Up” by Dakwarians
