Human music. Keep it weird, keep it loud. Vintage, fresh & underground. Psych, Rock, Funk & more, live from NYC.
Back again into our whirlwind of a world wielding classic rock and modern fuzz. Rough, raw, rowdy along with this week’s NYC concert list. Attune, keep your chin up and tell a pal.

After a quick week off and a wild departure from the norm last episode, I’m back this week with a brand new mix of music from NYC and beyond. New punk and alternative with a dash of soul including brand new releases from The Advertisers, Ghost Funk Orchestra, Howling Giant, Pile and more. It’s a loud and rowdy ride, crank the volume and tell a friend.

Doing something different this week! What would it sound like if Freelance Fiends curated your Brooklyn brunch? Worming my way into your mimosa-soaked mind, starting with a message from you to yourself and continuing the ritual to hit that sweet spot inside. Could be consumed in any order…

One aspect of music that has always attracted me is that there’s more of it being created out of thin air every minute of every day. Here’s a lot of it!

Spring’s getting a tenuous grip on NYC and today I have a tenuous grip on my playlist. Going all over the place with vintage ballads, raucous punk and new strange tracks from bands like Pinch Points, Durand Jones, Toyzanne and Tropical Fuck Storm.

I’m feeling this long winter dragging on so to ease the passage into the glory of an NYC spring I’ve put together mostly mellow sounds. Dig on vintage fantasies and enjoy new gauze from Rudy De Anda, Nadine Carina, Lonesome Shack, and Frankie & the Witch Fingers.
Stay frosty, but not too frosty.

Representation is a big issue and in our modern day there are, thankfully, so many amazing women making music. This week I focus on releases from recent years that are driven by women with quite a few from the greater NYC area. Enjoy and spread the word!

One late night in the back end of 2016 during a rowdy post-election string of concerts, I saw Winstons get a crowd all riled up in the back room of Greenpoint dance club The Good Room. Everyone was raw from bad weather and an inescapably rough couple months and the room was ready for something real, and goddamn if these two didn’t bring it.
Over the few years since, Winstons have toured a bit, released a fantastic single and recorded what will be their first full length album, self-titled, out 3/1 on Virginia roots-rock imprint WarHen Records.
Been laying down some themes lately so this week’s show is just a mix of the music that’s tickled my fancy over a particularly wintry week in Brooklyn. Dig on the usual selection of vintage rock cuts and new indie and alternative from bands like Old Mexico, Mid-Air Thief and Threatmantics. Hope you’re as fancily tickled as I was!

Sometimes you need some room to breathe. You gotta take your time and let things sink in. This week’s full of songs like that. Take as much time as you need.

I don’t consider myself a serious dude but my playlists often imply otherwise. This week we’ll dive into a collection that reflects my view of the state of our union. Classic psychedelia, modern punk, big riffs and golden grooves collide.
You can listen on iTunes Podcasts and Spotify as well!
Enjoy and have fun. Serious fun. Continue reading “#1903: The Upsetter”
Record-breaking cold has the nation in it’s grip and while our outer shells bundle up and hunker down, perhaps nature’s brutal indifference presents an opportunity to look within. Continue reading “#1902: Wake The Dreamer”
Welcome to the radio premiere of Freelance Fiends!
Meet the new show, a lot like the old show but with a few tweaks here and there. This week’s an introduction to the new format with a mix of classic tracks and modern biz from NYC rockers like Strange Majik, Baked, Big Thief and more. Continue reading “#1901: Reborn (Series Premiere)”
Enough teasing:
After 6 years & several iterations I’m retiring the Old Time Religion name and reworking the show in 2019 as Freelance Fiends. Continue reading “Freelance Fiends is Coming”
Everyone has one of these “Best Of” lists and it’s been diverse this year. Here’s my list, in no real order, of notable releases with a brief blurb for each and (most importantly) links for you to listen and buy direct from the artists! We’ll start with my absolute favorites and follow the consciousness stream the rest of the way. Bands from the NYC area will have a * next to their name ’cause that’s where I live and it’s a great place to hear music.
