Geographer
"Can't You Wait" is the opening track on Geographer's Innocent Ghosts and it defines everything I love about good music. Bouncy and bold. Highly recommended for fans of Wolf Parade and CYHSY.

Guest DJ Pogo (Panic!/Chicago):
You might remember Pogo as 1/3 of team Panic!. While violating every DC code for capacity, Panic! enjoyed a healthy run at Metro Cafe until the closing of the venue, and Pogo's subsequent excommunication to Chicago. There, Panic! has been living on as a massively successful monthly event, and Pogo has somehow managed to expand on his radio career by weasling his way onto Chicago television. His newest job is on ABC-7, and so far he's been able to avoid their threat of making him get a "nice" haircut. And as long as the good folks of Washington/Baltimore welcome him, he jumps at any opportunity to return to spin!
Special live performance by Wallpaper (Oakland, CA), 10:00 pm:
Wallpaper is the enigmatic onstage existence of Oakland music addict Eric Frederic. The Wallpaper project began in early 2005 as tweaked satire, Frederic funneling his earliest influences (P-Funk, New Jack, East Bay rap) into two EPs of diced, digital beats and lyrics caricaturing the pop vernacular. But as the Hyphy hip-hop movement crested in Frederic's backyard, something changed. "I saw that classic Bay Area sound resurfacing," he says, "that same psychedelic, drippy, care-free, funky approach that reigned from Sly Stone to Digital Underground." He needed to pay tribute, and in a hail of house parties and homemade discs, Wallpaper was reborn as Ricky Reed, Frederic's disco-smashing doppelganger. This glitz 'n' grit champion of the groove has since become a gilded name in the underground, wooing crowds with a computerized croon, live reinventions of R&B classics, and tales of excess in the Information Age. They have blown spots alongside such notables as Subtle, Darondo, LA Riots, Electric Soft Parade, and Nino Moschella.

Kitty Hawk
Kitty Hawk is a local DC band that I just recently started to truly appreciate. I apologize for the sound quality on the track, but all I have is some rough demos from these guys. Still, if this one doesn't get you in the good spot, I don't know what will.

Gentleman Auction House
Sad about the summer coming to an end and need a hearty musical pick-me-up? Check out Alphabet Graveyard from Gentleman Auction House. The band just recently got added to regular rotation on WOXY.com, so hopefully they'll be getting them in for a Lounge Act soon!

Vancougar
Vancougar makes me happy on multiple levels, but mostly I think it's because it reminds me of stuff I used to love so much like Velocity Girl.

Recommended for those of you who love other male artists like Kevin Drew or Brendan Canning.

Ra Ra Riot
Finally we have a full-length from Ra Ra Riot. The Rhumb Line came out earlier this week on the Barsuk label and although I already had most of these songs as demos, I still think it's one of the best albums in 2008. Also, congratulations to the band on getting a great review from Rolling Stone!

Leisha Hailey and Camila Grey are hot and their tunes are catchy as hell. Common Reaction is out August 19 from Nettwerk and highly recommended if you love anything reminiscent of 90s electro pop.
