Usually, I'm in the business of finding great music for you to listen to on the Tuesday Night Diner. But guess what? Some really great music found ME this week, and I'm thrilled to present it to you.
Amanda Abizaid is a singer/songwriter based in Los Angeles, and has seen much success with her songs being placed in various television shows, such as The 4400, Smallville, and Charmed. She's got a wonderful singing voice, and her music has been described as something like “Dido meets Beck”.
She just completed an elegant, classy album called This Life, slated for release on September 15th. But her people got in touch with my people, and rushed a copy to me here in Northern California! Okay, Amanda's got “people”. I'm not big enough to have “people”--so I'm playing the role of my “people”! Full disclosure aside, I'll be spinning a track from This Life on this week's show.
As regular listeners know by now, Maxi Dunn's one of my favorite artists. I've known her for a little over a year, and in that time, she's put together some really interesting, edgy pop music. The “edge” makes the pop more interesting, and the “pop” smoothes out the edginess. She's been working tirelessly with producer Pete Hackett on her next album, The Neglected Gambit, still very much a work in progress. I'm also a big fan of Pete's, so this whole thing bodes well. A new sneak preview track found its way to me this past weekend, and I'll debut it on this week's show.

Finally, tomorrow night is the 100th episode of the Justin Wayne Show here on Recharged Radio. Justin's been consistently making great radio happen, and championing great indie bands since even before Recharged Radio started its grand expansion last year (which led to us two Yanks joining the fold). Tonight is my 33rd show, so if I behave and continue to make good sounds come out of your speakers, I'll someday get to where Justin is. Happy 100th show, Justin! Check it out on Wednesday, 8-10 p.m. GMT here at Recharged Radio!
If you'd like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com. If you'd like to become an honorary California citizen, drop me a line at the same address.
