RH-NP-01On the counter

Saul Williams "Mazahua" Big Dada · from Leap Life, out today

Taped

The return of Saul Williams, and Ø loved it. It took the week without much of an argument, so it is the one we have put out where you will see it first.

RH-NP-02

Olivia Rodrigo "serena joy" Interscope · out 24 Aug · standalone

Frontier

A bouncy pop number with a hint of an edge, maybe. Worth jumping up and down to, for sure.

RH-NP-03

All the Damn Vampires & Mint Simon "Voices Carry" Out today · standalone

And you know that All the Damn Vampires are a safe bet. Still true.

RH-NP-04

Josh Daily "Back to You"

Ø enjoyed this one.

RH-NP-05

Reba McEntire "Tourist" MCA · out 21 Aug · from the Tourist EP

Frontier

Ø has not taped it, but Ø would come back to it, and that is not nothing.

RH-NP-06

Armor for Sleep "Car Underwater (Audiotree Live)" Equal Vision · out 27 Aug · from Audiotree Live

A solid effort and worth a listen. The 2005 song, played live for Audiotree.

RH-NP-07

Primetime Failure "Not Well" Uncle M · out 21 Aug · from Scars, 25 Sep

Go digging

An excellent discovery, and the closest thing to Mazahua this week. Any other week this is the one on the counter.

RH-NP-08

Like Roses "Holidays" Hopeless · out 27 Aug · from After It Ends, 23 Oct

Go digging

Ø really enjoyed this one.

RH-NP-09

Tanya Tucker "Bop" Melody Place · from Dan Seals & Friends: The Last Duet, out today

Frontier

Country goes pop. You cannot help but smile. Built on Dan Seals' original vocal, twenty years after his.

RH-NP-10

The Background World "Is It Real"

It is ok, and worth checking out.
