This show has always been committed to supporting independent music, although there's been more than one occasion in the past where a song with ties to a major label has ended up on the show by accident. Those shows aren't available online anymore. After the Dajaz1 fiasco a couple years ago, I figure it's best to be vigilant about these things. Some labels just hire lawyers that don't care what their promotions teams are doing, and even if they weren't, why support companies who are actively working against our best interests?
That vigilance is one of the reasons for the song I chose to be this week's opener. You can probably guess the other reason…

Dave's Lounge has never been a place for ambient soundscapes. There's a rhythm to life, and there's a rhythm to the music we share here. That rhythm is on full blast this week, thanks to an amazing tune from Cross My Heart Hope To Die that leads off the show. And while not every song this week shares that same atmosphere, you'll still find yourself nodding along to everything you hear…
