Listen to the show right here:

 

Or use this link to download the mp3 and take it with you.

Around the Horn Basix’s'z’ new album, Vocaluptuous, RARB forum woes, The A Cappella Party, group retreats, Bill on “sounding live,” Dietz on HS kids being “professional,” Straight No Chaser has a new EP coming out!

This is Not an Instrument Denise Reis. Trumpet, and then another trumpet. Perfection.

Song Suggestion Some all-female group needs to cover Katie Herzig’s “Hologram” muy soon.

High School Focus 5-Alone from Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter High School in South Hadley, MA, is ultra promising.  And the soloist! Yum.  Woo woo woooooo.

Better than the Original After encouraging self-abuse, Christopher argues that Ryan Adams’ cover of Oasis’ “Wonderwall” is better than the original.  And then he argues that UGA Noteworthy‘s a cappella cover of Ryan Adams’ cover is even better than that!  (Did you catch that?)

Album Review Firedrill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You figured it out. Firedrill! actually are aliens. They revealed the secret at their release/departure concert. Nate and Wrobz even let out their antennae. They’re actually an intergalactic supergroup here to preach the values of groove, joy, and the power of coming together in harmony. Unfortunately, some of the group have been recalled to their home planet to give detailed reports and that’s the real reason the group is going on hiatus/exiting the scene.

    Maybe not. But if you think the album made you cry… the night of the concert Vic proposed to his then-girlfriend, and the joy, elation, and deep, deep emotion (she said yes) when he sang the solo on If I Ain’t Got You left quite a few people reaching for their bar napkins to dry their eyes.

    (And thanks for putting out a consistently excellent show guys… even if it does put me to shame.)

    All the Firedrill! clips sound ridiculous!

    That said, I agree that “If I Ain’t Got You” as a live track on the album would have been killer.

    *currently buying that album*
