It’s time to keep this Spydercricket Music Podcast train moving.

This week, we talk about the lovely Laura Burhenn (formerly of Georgie James) and her new group, The Mynabirds. We also discuss the possibility of Wyclef Jean becoming Haiti’s next president (currently not going to happen). We try to do the podcast with a straight face – clearly, not working.

Go see The Mynabirds at the Black Cat on September 25. Or buy What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood.

While Kate is out, Jay goes all Justin Timberlake and brings you a new band to check out, New York’s Wakey Wakey.

Yes, yes, perhaps you’ve heard them on One Tree Hill…not that YOU watch it…but let’s move past that and focus on the quality music. Fun, upbeat, and pleasing to the ears, Wakey Wakey proves that being on a soundtrack for a CW show isn’t always a bad thing. Check out their live cover of Yeasayer to confirm how rad-tastic they are!

Also in the show, Jay talks about the new Lady Gaga video, his visit to DC9, and acts such as the Spring Standards. Check it out.
