      <title>Musicheads for July 1, 2008</title>
      <description><![CDATA[This week we're posing the question, "What's the worst show or concert you've ever been to ... and what made it so bad?"  For our CD discussion, we dipped into the recent archives for an encore broadcast, where Mac Wilson, Mark Wheat and I talked about DeVotchKa's latest, "A Mad and Faithful Telling," Foals' "Antidotes," and Billy Bragg's "Mr. Love and Justice."]]></description>

      <title>Musicheads for June 24, 2008</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The hotly anticipated new release from My Morning Jacket, "Evil Urges " headed up this week's conversation, which also included reviews of Midnight Juggernauts' "Dystopia" and local favorite Haley Bonar's latest, "Big Star." Also, the gang contemplated the question, "What's a less-than-obvious song - or artist - you might recommend that people put in their 'summer mix' in the iPod, because it's a summer favorite of yours?"]]></description>

      <title>Musicheads for June 17, 2008</title>
      <description><![CDATA[A few notable roots-oriented albums have been released in the last several weeks, so the Musicheads thought they'd make that the topic of discussion this time.  Bill DeVille, Dave Campbell and Mac Wilson had a listen to "The Good Life" by Justin Townes Earle (son of Steve Earle), as well as Alejandro Escovedo's "Real Animal" and Fleet Foxes' self-titled effort.  Plus, the gang contemplated the question, "What was a band or artist that was huge among the other kids in your high school but that you couldn't stand?"]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[It's an encore broadcast from April, featuring Dave Campbell and Mark Wheat as Bill DeVille's guests. CDs reviewed included The Kills' "Midnight Boom," She & Him's "Volume One" and The Heavy's "Great Vengeance, Furious Fire.

      <title>Musicheads for June 3, 2008</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The Musicheads gave a listen to Aimee Mann's new effort, "@#%&*! Smilers" this week (and wondered just how that title might be pronounced).  Also reviewed: The latest from the dark, drone-heavy band The Black Angels called "Directions To See A Ghost," and the beautifully classic-sounding "Lay It Down" from the legendary Al Green.  Finally, this week's discussion topic: Name an artist you've really enjoyed, past or present, whom you feel just never got the credit they deserved.  Barb Abney and Mac Wilson were Bill DeVille's guests.]]></description>

      <title>Musicheads for May 27, 2008</title>
      <description><![CDATA[How many records has Elvis Costello made by now?  Even Elvis himself has lost count, and it seems he wasn't too successful in his promise to retire from making them.  His latest, "Momofuku," was up for discussion this week.  Also, the Musicheads weighed in on the new one from Mates of State, "Rearrange Us," and an interesting side project from Arctic Monkey's Alex Turner and The Rascals'  Miles Kane, dubbed The Last Shadow Puppets.  Plus, the cast anwered the question, "What show do you brag about having gone to?"  Bill DeVille's guests were Barb Abney and The Current's Assistant Music Director David Safar.]]></description>

We also delved into the ultra-darkness of Portishead's long, long awaited "Third," and debated the merits &mdash; or otherwise &mdash; of actress Scarlett Johansson's foray into pop music, "Wherever I Lay My Head."  We also posed the question, "What music do you put on to relax, or go to sleep?"  Mark Wheat and The Current's Music Director Melanie Walker were my guests.]]></description>

For our CD discussion, the Musicheads dipped into the recent archives for an encore broadcast, where Mac Wilson, our Music Director Melanie Walker, and Bill DeVille talked about "Magnetic Fields' "Distortion," Yoav's "Charmed & Strange," and Shelby Lynne's Dusty Springfield tribute, "Just A Little Lovin'."]]></description>
