Matthew Dear and Tracy Nelson appear courtesy of the IODA Promonet, and their songs may be downloaded for free at the Blogger site as long as their promotions last; I'll also include links to buy those and all the other albums represented as available. Club D'Elf appears courtesy of Rock Paper Scissors. Sheri Miller and The Kobolds come courtesy of Ariel Publicity. The track from The Perfects was played by permission, and Cassandra Kubinski's songs come from Music Alley.

The Perfects track was produced by Nic Hard, who's also worked with The Church and The Bravery. Sheri Miller's new album is produced by Grammy winner Kevin Killen, who's worked with U2 and Peter Gabriel. And Club D'Elf -- from whom you might hear more in the May episode -- is a collective of American and African musicians, with appearances by DJ Logic, former David Bowie and Tin Machine guitarist Reeves Gabrels (heard here on "Getting Squinty") and the late Mark Sandman (of the legendary Boston modern rock group Morphine); Sandman wrote the song "Rope on Fire" and plays his signature two-string bass on "Taint Too."
