Today I had a much-needed pep talk with my friend Corinne about, well, a lot of things. That combined with a much-needed pep email from Mr. Stivers led me to this week's theme for the Saturday 8-Track.

Eight bands I (shamefully) haven't talked about that you should give a listen to. I will be doing more about each of them in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. They area all just fantastic, and I really think you'll enjoy getting to know them better.

If you are, or know, an artist that you think I would like, please feel free to email me. And, as always, you can stay on top of the most recent posts by joining my Facebook group.

This is Memorial Day Weekend in the U.S. It's a long, holiday weekend set aside to honor the men and women who have fought for our freedoms and protected us from harm. And so, this is a bit of a tribute to thousands in our armed forces, police, fire brigades, and emergency rescue that watch over us, keep us safe, and, all too often, are taken for granted.

Happy listening, all.
