A group of music bloggers are invited each week to contribute songs to the wildly-popular Contrast Podcast (compiled by Tim from The Face Of Today). The theme for this week’s podcast was “local” (as suggested by Bethanne from Clever Titles Are So Last Summer) and features a bevvy of artists local to each of the bloggers asked to participate. For my selection, I chose the song “Coroner’s Report” by Augustine which comes from, as Memphis readers will no doubt be aware, Augustine’s album Broadcast. One of the best local albums of the year, Broadcast is a wildly original and fresh combination of dark psychedelic rock and political themes which break wildly from the current fertile ground of current Memphis bands. Augustine are hard at work in the studio on their follow-up album, and Loudersoft welcomes visitors from around the world who first heard Augustine via Contrast Podcast. Augustine’s album will get a national release this fall through their label Makeshift Music, but you can still order it direct from Makeshift’s website right now.

Good to have you onboard the podcast EJ. Hopefully you’ll do some more choices for us in the future! Tim
