Ahhh.... Dory Loup of the fantastic French punk band, Mirabelle.

Oh my goodness, do I love this band.... They bring the best parts of the late 90s and early 2000s to the forefront. Their latest releases floored me, especially a song that I believe will break them fully around the world... the singular hit "All My Friends." What a bliss filled, and absolutely fun ditty.

But enough about the band... it's my chance, right now, to hang out with the excellent singer from this windblast of a musical whirlwind. They have a new album coming out very soon, an LP called 'Welcome to my Funeral.'... and well... I love it. I'm sure I'm gonna love the guy too. You can hear the greatness in his voice so it's gonna be good... I know it.

All the way from somewhere in France, this is Dory Loup Venta!

MONOLOGUE: My feet hurt. Allergies. My kids left for the week. Again. A close friend is in the hospital in a coma... alcoholism sucks.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: The Beatles performed for the last time on Ed Sullivan on this day, back in 1965. This event would prove quite extraordinary, as they came on and performed 6 songs... maybe they felt it was time to stop the live thing by that time and wanted to go out with a band. Are you a Beatles guy?

SONGS OF THE WEEK: Vola - "I don't know how we got here".... classic smooth, mellow, pretty and complex... this is the latest from Denmark's VOLA.... a band I'm a huge fan of. I hope you love it. Locked Shut - Toothache. Aggressive punk metal hits you right in the gums. Straight out of the American heartlands... This Missouri based punk band is hard and fantastic... It's a short 2 minutes as well. Hold on, mom.
