Radio Playlist: New Music July 2016

No new music playlist in June -- that's what happens when you post on May 31 -- but let's start July with a half-hour of new music for your family's listening pleasure.  (If you want to catch that list from May, you can see that playlist here.)

As always, it's limited in that if an artist hasn't chosen to post a song on Spotify, I can't put it on the list, nor can I feature songs from as-yet-unreleased albums.  But I'm always keeping stuff in reserve for the next Spotify playlist.

Check out the list here (or right here in you're in Spotify).

Video: "I Can't Dance (I've Got Ants in My Pants)" - The Hollow Trees (World Premiere!)

It's been awhile since we've heard from Los Angeles' The Hollow Trees, more than five years since the release of Wacky's Tackle.  But thankfully they're back with a new album of Americana- and Tin Pan Alley-inflected originals and covers, Hello Friend, and in anticipation of the album release on July 1, they've got a new video.

The video's for "I Can't Dance (I've Got Ants in My Pants)," a jazz tune dating back to the '30s (at least).  The Hollow Trees' version zips along nicely, and I suspect that between the song and the video, featuring lots of public domain clips of dancing of all sorts, some member of your household will be encouraged to dance in some way, for non-formicidaeical reason.  In any case, enjoy this world premiere video!
