As you can tell from the title of this episode, we’ve got a special one! I am joined this episode by Ziona Riley; a musician that has captured my attention for some years now. I don’t recall how I heard it originally but the track “Bury This Heirloom” (off of her 2019 release, Not Too Precious) c...

If you’re a regular listener of the show you might be wondering – where the heck have we been?! It’s been over a month since our last episode and, frankly, that’s pretty unusual for this show. The reason for the absensce is pretty simple – my day job is working in tech and like a lot of the indus...

For anyone that isn’t familiar; The Features were a highly revered rock band from the mid 90’s through 2017. They released a number of albums, explored a ton of different styles and always put on a helluva live show. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone that didn’t enjoy The Features on some leve...

Flying into this episode without a lick of a script. Generally I take notes or even go so far as to write down everything I want to say but not this time. Fortunately, these fifteen locals tracks are all so excellent, it’s not the least bit difficult to have something great to say about them. As ...

To be totally honest, 2023 has been kicking my ass so far. I won’t bore you with the details but plenty of other things have been requiring my attention for most of the month and this show fell by the wayside. Don’t you worry tho, it bugged me every single day that there wasn’t a new WOTT Music e...

NPR Edition! Seasons greetings. This episode is our seventh annual holiday special of merry, delightful and memorable holiday music. We’ve got a warm and cozy playlist of festive tunes coming your way courtesy of artists from Nashville and surrounding areas.

This week on the show we’ve got a bigger-than-usual playlist. I went back through my archives, scrubbed new releases on Bandcamp, cleaned out my DM’s and tried to pull together as much new music as I could find to clean out the metaphorical closet. We’re really nearing the end of the year here an...

We’re not supposed to say this but this episode is phenomenal. Yes, last episode was good and the one before that and before that as well. You aren’t supposed to pick favorites and recency bias is a real thing but we’ve listened through the selections this week a number of times and are REAL happ...

Many thanks to Patrick Orr from Crave On for appearing on the last episode. Really enjoyed that format and may embrace it more in the future. However, this week we’re going with out regular barrage of local music from a variety of genres. You’re bound to hear something you like. We end the show w...

Crave On released Slow Pulsing Rainbow back in October and that has provided us with the opportunity to chat with the band all about the new record, the creative process and how setting high goals for each album is a healthy aspiration. Patrick Orr joins in to talk about all the things and even b...

Another stellar show lined up for you this week with a growing backlog of even more songs. As we wind down the year, I’m going to try my best to get all of this out there but I am sure to miss something. IF you have something you want me to hear – send it to michael AT we own this town dot net. I...

This week on the show I’ve got an absolutely stellar playlist. I mean, if we’re being honest, every episode is GREAT but this week I had a list of some 30 songs that I had to filter down to the 15 coming your way in just a moment and it was TOUGH. I love it when you got nothing but bangers to pic...

As you can tell from the title of this episode, we’ve got a special one for ya. This episode I had the absolute honor of sitting down with the members of Forget Cassettes – Beth Cameron, Jay Leo Phillips and Aaron Ford – to discuss the writing and recording of the album Salt.

To provide a little...

Many thanks to Michael Bleeds for the special Halloween extravaganza last episode. aside from it being a fun little dive into the deep, it also created a bit of a brand new backlog for this show to dive into. We’ve got 14 fresh local tracks coming your way in just a moment and plenty more on deck...

For the last few episodes we undertook a massive marathon of local music. I tried my best to go through everything in my backlog and get it shared on an episode. All told, we got 77 local tracks out into the world. Aside from the direct joy of getting to share so much diverse music made right her...

If you’ve been listening for the past few episodes, you know I’ve been making good on a promise to clear the decks of my backlog of music. I think this episode will sufficiently satisfy that endeavor. This is the end of the marathon. That said, this episode is rather devoid of hip-hop and I reall...

Folks, we are deep inside a marathon experiment right now and I’m shocked at how it’s going! For months, I’ve been saying that I want to clear the decks on my backlog of music to share here on the show. We are getting extremely close to that finish line. On today’s episode, we’ve got twelve track...

For months now, I’ve been saying that I have a deep back log of music to share with you all and I’m doing my best to try and make good on that promise. It’s a bit of an experiment here but we’ve been marathon’ing local tracks and it’s a wild ride. We’re deep in it now. For this episode, we’ve com...

We are in the middle of a bit of an experiment right now. For months I’ve been saying that I’ve got a backlog of releases to share with everyone and I’m trying to make good on that promise by clearing the decks. We’re marathon’ing local music here and it feels good. This episode you’ll hear a few...

For the past few months I’ve mentioned that I’ve got quote a backlog of music to share with everyone. I’ve decided to make a conscious effort to clear the decks. This is going to be a bit of an experiment – and one that might fail miserably – but I’m going to push this show for a few episodes to ...

Getting back into the regular groove. This week we’ve got 10 fantastic local tracks across a wide spectrum – pop, hip-hop, metal, shoegaze and a bit of the unclassifiable. It’s good. Trust me.

Twen released their sophomore album One Stop Shop back in July of 2022, with four singles preceeding it starting as early as December of 2021. However, journey to this album’s inception and release goes back way further than that. They were signed to a major indie for their debut album, they left...
