The Oyster Murders are a four piece alternative rock band
from Brisbane, Australia. The latest single from the group, ‘When you’re wrong’
is a wash of distorted pop melodies, overdriven guitars and analog synths.
Recorded and mixed using both low and hi-fi techniques by multi ARIA award
winning producer Magoo. This is the band’s first release since the group put
out their 2013 ‘Mourning Birds’ EP, and prior to this, their 2012 album,
‘Winter of the Electric Sun’. The bands
debut LP received airplay on over 130 college radio stations throughout the US
and debuted in the top 30 radio charts at KCSB (Santa Barbara, CA), WCDB
(Albany, NY), WRSU (New Brunswick, NJ), KXUA (Fayetteville, AR) and #4 at WTSR
(Ewing, NJ). Singles off the album The Sleeper’s Heart, It Might Be Real and
Ghosts in our Wake have all received positive reviews and love from blogs
around the globe including Tone Deaf, Muzik Dizcovery, edenisneon,
Guteshoerenistwichtig, and the AU Review. Husband and wife duo Grant and Wendy
Redgen front the group. The bands rhythm
section is made up of Shaun Edwards (drums) and Chris Macpherson (bass).

THE OYSTER MURDERS - WHEN YOU'RE WRONG

RADIO-RELATED STUFF
WEGP is going Catholic, just like a lot of other U.S. radio stations.
Now that I've heard it, I have to say DRM does indeed have much better sound quality than analog.
As far as Brother Stair being on WBCQ is concerned, Allen can of course run the station how he sees fit. However, Stair is a false prophet, a probable rapist (who would have been convicted all those years ago if the victims had retained the evidence), an all-round nasty and abusive hypocrite and a person who thus does not deserve to be on any radio station I would run.

It's amazing how fewer websites I check on a daily or weekly basis than I used to.
Am finding fewer and fewer surveys are accessible.
Media Broadcasting Center sure is doing some big things.

Man, US radio really is in trouble! I was listening to "The Clark Howard Show" on WFAS via the internet Thursday afternoon. The station had one of those ten-minute commercial breaks so common in American radio and during that time I only heard three commercials for for-profit companies: a natural sleep remedy, Angry Orchard Cider and "NBC Nightly News." All the other spots were PSAs.
Picked up WBZA Rochester Friday morning. A real variety of stuff, including "Jailhouse Rock."
Am not impressed with CBC Radio One's summer shows this year: repackaged material from "The Current" and "As It Happens", the return of people reading stupid garbage they wrote as kids, another American show on the schedule, repackaged CBC documentaries, a show that just plays podcasts, and two shows that are actually worth listening to.

REPLY AWL
I actually found the June issue of Readers' Digest quite interesting, containing lots of touching and inspiring stories.
Regarding the article in the June 8 issue of Maclean's: Of course, the dyke author tries to make out like the province making strip clubs illegal again is such a bad thing. While stripping may not be exactly the way it is portrayed on TV, it is still a dangerous life and something no decent girl would want to take up if she truly had another option.
Also, how come there wasn't a flood of licenses to open up new strip joints? You would think if it were such a wonderful thing and something the people of Saskatchewan wanted, there would be more than one a year after such places were made legal.
Probably the reason the patrons of the strip club mentioned in the article were so nice and the reason dancing there was supposedly such a great experience was because of the novelty. The place was most likely packed simply because of the absurdity of there being a strip joint in a small town in northern Saskatchewan.
Regarding the article in the same issue about the blasphemous stageplay based on The God Tweets: I really hate that all these kikes are coming out and producing horrible things like this. Read up on the Talmud and you'll find out why they're doing it. It's high time God teaches these people a lesion, in my opinion.

Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go....”

John Prine
Good songs and good music, and good company to share them with....
So won’t you come on out to the Black Dog this Sunday afternoon (Yes! THIS Sunday afternoon!) and join us to share a few tunes at the Amazing Jam? Maybe some of yours, maybe some Prine, maybe some others you love to play....
(Pssst.... I have doubts Mr. Prine will be present in person, so the parking lot won’t be jam-packed full and it’s pretty much certain there’ll be a chair in the circle for you!)
The Black Dog, 227 West Front St. in Stirling.
We start up at 2 pm, run until 5....
Looking forward to see you there.
*And don’t forget to check the Facebook page ‘BV Amazing Music’ for postings about more music and events in this area. There’s something happening here....
The ‘Amazing Jam’! Even more amazing music...
This Sunday afternoon at The Black Dog in Stirling. We’ll be
playing music there for about 3 hours. Welcomed by both staff and the patrons in the lounge and restaurant, our music is appreciated.
Once a month on Sunday afternoons. This Sunday afternoon (July12th). Time is from 2 pm until 5.
The format is a ‘song circle’ with the lead changing from person to person among the group. Everyone has the option to offer a tune when their turn comes around, or pass to their neighbour if they’d rather. Depending on the music, the mood, choice of instruments, etc. some will choose to support whoever is leading a song, others may prefer to sit out and listen. 
We invite you to come out and join us, making music with old friends; for sure, there’ll be some new faces too.
Remember....
“Bring your instruments, your voices and your music. It’s
ll unplugged
a
and it’s all good! Guitar, bass,
harmonica, banjo,
mandolin, ukulele,
fiddle, accordion,
flute, celtic harp – the list goes on.
“There may be only 4 or 5 o
f
us or maybe a whole room full of
musicians. A place for
‘first-timers’ and experienced players alike.
A
good bunch of pe
ople playin
g all kinds of music together.
People in
their teens all the way through proto-geezers. Maybe even an 
incipient-geriat or two....
“The blues does not rule.
Any acoustic music from punk
to polka!”
(Baritone sax and tuba set up in the parking lot....)
Hope to see you Sunday afternoon in Stirling.
