There you have it…

A very small, little fragment of the very vast and impressive New York City independent music scene. Thanks to everyone who listened, hopefully you guys all had as much fun as I did with this show. NYC baby! It just has that grimey, steamy, always moving and changing and breathing kind of vibe that makes it such an inspirational hot-bed for breeding creativity in people… I don’t know… it’s just New York.

Make sure you check out my official Facebook Group (THE GLOBAL UNDERGROUND on radiolaurier.com!) for full track lists from this show and all past shows, as well as videos and things I may have mentioned on the show... or you know, just drop me a message and we can shoot the shit, as they say...

Feel free to send me feedback on the show and ideas or music requests for future shows!!

Have a swell reading and I'll be back next week! PEACE!!

I come from a land down unda!  ...well, not actually...

And what’s with Aussie’s and their vegemite anyway? From what I’ve heard, it really doesn’t taste that good… but I guess I’ve never tasted it so I shouldn’t judge… that and kangaroo jerky…  WTF, mate?!

But anyway… what a great show last week! This post comes a tad late but, thanks for listening last week and hopefully you liked some the music from Australia  AND New Zealand that I picked out… and if not, that’s just too bad.

Also, I completely forgot to give a shout out to “Summer Heights High” on the show!! One of the best mockumentaries ever... Chris Lilley is the funniest thing out of Australia since this kid, and his show ‘Summer Heights High’ is hilarious… watch it if you can! Get a taste of it here, here, and here.

For a complete tracklist from this show as well as past shows... check out the Global Underground facebook group HERE.

Be sure to listen this thursday for the NEW YORK CITY show... It's gonna be off the hoooook!!!

Thanks again to everyone who listened…

I tried to kick you some funky folk and rocking… rock… music from the southern US of A, and hopefully you loved every hot, sticky minute of it (…that’s what she said), AND got a great taste of some of the awesome indie that has come out of such a passionate culture thick and rich with a history of good music. Rock n’ Roll was born in the south, out of the beautifully grimy blues music that called out from the men and women forced to work as slaves in that place… and don’t you forget it.

NEXT WEEK we’re goin’ DOWN UNDER to Oceania and AUSTRALIA!!  LISTEN!!!

Show number two is done and done.

England has been conquered.

The great city of London... sacked.

It was a vicious battle, but I think we definitely came out on top and made away with the best of it. If there’s one thing that the Brits know how to do, it’s make good music, and I think their history is proof of that. Hopefully I could offer you guys a taste of the independent England... the new England that has been built on the shoulders of the great rock acts of the past.
