ZYZXX Song of the Week "Welcome To The Party" by Ruby Friedman

The song this week is special for several reasons. One, it is a song, previously unpublished, written by the great 20th Century American composer Harry Warren. And two... it was recorded by a singer whose music and voice is very near and dear to ZYZXX, Ruby Friedman. Ruby has recorded a handful of contemporary versions of his tunes for the Harry Warren folks as part of The Department of Harry Warren project. All beautiful renditions, as is to be expected from the hugely talented leader of the RFO. Enjoy her haunting and lovely recording of "Welcome To The Party."

ZYZXX Song of the Week "Tonight" by Le Butcherettes

The ZYZXX Song of the Week "Tonight" is merely a tantalizing tease for what you get from former Mexican and now Los Angeles based garage-punk band Le Butcherettes. The trio's leader, the commanding and terrifically terrifying Teri Gender Bender, will force you to your knees with her raw in-your-face, up-your-dress energy as she growls, prowls and screams amid an aural barrage of filthy grooves and raw intensity. ZYZXX likes. "Tonight" is on their latest album Sin Sin Sin released on Rodriguez Lopez Productions. 

ZYZXX Song of the Week "Every Third Hour" by Sister Crayon

The ZYZXX Podcast Song of the Week is "Every Third Hour," a tune by Sacramento based band Sister Crayon. Their album Bellow has been the soundtrack to my morning drive pretty much non-stop since I picked up this release a few months ago. Gorgeous, melodic, shimmering, ethereal, moody... perfect to help my mind float as I fight in body through a typical Los Angeles commute. Go to their website to get yourself some. Sister Crayon Website Click Here!
