Uncharted Waters: The Hold Steady

The new album might be a bit rocking for regular rotation on MVY, but we wanted to share a bit more of the new Hold Steady record "Teeth Dreams."  So it's featured on Friday night's Uncharted Waters, as PJ fills in for the vacationing Barbara.

Plus you'll hear new tracks from Sarah McLachlan, Strand Of Oaks and The HiMMS.

Uncharted Waters: Inside Llewyn Davis

Will it be the next "O Brother Where Art Thou?"

The players are the same:  Joel Coen, Ethan Coen and T Bone Burnett.

Add in Marcus Mumford and Justin Timberlake, as well as a raft of 60s folk nuggets, and something's happening here.

The soundtrack to "Inside Llewyn Davis" is featured on this week's Uncharted Waters, along with new cuts from Bonnie Raitt, Vienna Teng, Houndmouth, The Devil Makes 3 and Los Lobos.

Uncharted Waters: Neko Case

Below is a video of Neko Case teaching you how to make Borscht.

Why?

Because Neko Case is so fantastic, that even watching her make Borscht is some kinda awesome.

Friday night on Uncharted Waters, Case is the featured artist, so expect to hear several tracks from her album "The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You."  Plus songs from Dawes' producer Jonathan Wilson, Lucius and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

Listen Friday, then find it in the Archives.


See the video on Vimeo with a list of ingredients too.

Uncharted Waters: Boy

Don't let the mustaches in the picture below fool you, Velaska Steiner and Sonja Glass are decidedly female, even if they are collective know as Boy.  The Swiss/German duo are also decidedly tuneful, clever and very much in musical sync with each other.  Tonight on Uncharted Waters, they are the featured artist, so you'll hear several songs from their album "Mutual Friends."

Also on the program, new tracks from John Mayer, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Mavis Staples and Gogol Bordello.  PJ Finn fills in for the vacationing Barbara Dacey, Friday at 9pm ET.  Then find the show in the Uncharted Waters archives.

Uncharted Waters: Cayucas

Cayucas is a band and a song by the band.  But it's also a place in Southern California.  Hear more about it in the video below.  And you'll hear that vintage SoCal sound in their album "Bigfoot."  It's a record that the mvy staff is really excited about.

Listen to Uncharted Waters on Friday at 9pm, as Barbara Dacey features tracks from the Cayucas record, as well as other releases from this week.

Barbara Dacey will feature several tracks of this record, as part of Uncharted Waters, Friday at 9pm ET and in the archives.
