NEW MUSIC: we just added two cool story songs, along with several other new tracks to WVMO - The Voice of Monona playlists.

One, by Paul Thorn, is about an evangelizing vetriloquist named Geraldine and her dummy, Ricky. The other, from The Delines, is about a woman living on the edge, who then makes good and eventually scores an old school getaway with a bag full of cash

Also added this week are new tracks from Jesse Fox Music, Abraham Alexander and Adrian Quesada, Craig Finn, Joe Ely and Anderson East.

All are spinning randomly now, but you can hear em all on one show- my show, The New Music Discovery Show- on Friday at 1pm CT and again on Saturday at 1p on 98.7FM and streaming here: https://player.listenlive.co/46741
