Armed only with two guitars and their sweet sounding voices, they took us on a journey through their intelligent and flowery pop world. The five song set touches on songs from throughout their career and delivers the hits with renditions of "Dream All Day" and "Suddenly Mary" coming off quite nicely. Though they've always been consummate professionals, their time playing onstage with heavy hitters such as REM and Big Star seems to have informed and en-lived their stage presence. Their 20 year anniversary Portland tour stop at Dante's (following the recording of this podcast), was a reminder that they are still firing on all cylinders and kicking out the rock like never before. Congratulations to the Posies on 20 years of inspired music! (photos of the Posies by Juliana Tobon)

Episode 42 Parts 1 & 2
For Episode 42 Part 2 of the MastanMusic Hour, we were joined live in our studio by The Lonely H. They are currently on a national tour supporting their new release, "Hair", out on super hip indie label, The Control Group. Having gathered reviews and other press from such national media giants as Spin and MSNBC, the Lonely H have literally gone from hometown heroes to indie rock road dogs since graduating high school last year. In the case of the Lonely H, their youth is an asset, bringing energy to their psychedelic infused classic rock stylings. This is one of our favorite shows to date!
