Volume #5 of Stick It In Your Ear is finally up! Get it directly here or subscribe to the feed to get all past and future volumes.

Sorry for the delay - I had some synching issues, and during the re-mixing I decided it's way past time to "do something" about the horrible audio on my vocal tracks. I gained some ground there, and this one's ... better ... than the others.

The good news is, I've had to listen to this creation over and over (and over, and over, and over...) and I haven't grown sick of the songs yet, so I can assure you it's a good playlist, at least for my tastes. They still incite emphatic dancing with each track; whether or not it elicits the same response in you is a different matter altogether. In the end, your opinion is what counts most, and I really do want to hear what you think so far, so please send (constructive) feedback to music(at)southofnorth(dot)com (or leave them in the comments). Should I keep doing this? Is there something else you want to hear? Do you want to hear more bands from outside Chicago? Is there something from inside Chicago I've missed? Let me know. Bands can also send mp3s, snailmail address requests, or show announcements to the same address.
