Author: O3L Media August 30, 2025 Duration: 26:49
It’s Labor Day Weekend here in the U.S. and for our friends in Canada.  And you know what THAT means?  That’s right…mattress sales from coast to coast!  Slashing prices 50%, 60%, 70%!  (Plus applicable tariffs.)  Well, guess what we’ve got for you instead this holiday weekend?  Music is OUR mattress, and we’re here with insane deals on a six pack of the latest tunes. We won't rest easy 'til YOU rest easy! Acapulco Lips - 'Fuzzy Sunshine' (from the LP 'Now', Killroom Records) Orbis Max - 'If I Still Believe In Love At All' (single) The Planet Smashers - 'Things You Do" (from the LP 'On The Dancefloor', Stomp Records) Goodbye Wudaokou - 'I Can't Deal With September' (from the LP 'Anything Of Us', Subjangle) Sadlands - 'Twin Flame' (from the upcoming LP 'Try To Have A Little Fun', Wiretap Records) Maple Mars - 'Couldn't Have Been A Better Time' (single, Big Stir Records) Tariff free but providing as much support and comfort as the latest memory foam technology!    Thanks for supporting new music, the artists creating it and labels putting it out.  To keep this ecosystem going, we need to prop each other up now more than ever.  By downloading this podcast, you’re helping.  By following these bands on social media, you’re helping.  And, perhaps needless to say, buying their records, t-shirts, or seeing them live helps most of all! Have a great weekend! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

More than just a retrospective, this podcast captures the ongoing conversation and community around the music. It’s a space for both lifelong fans and curious newcomers to find common ground in a shared love for the artists and anthems that built a genre.
