Ink 19 magazine’s New Music Now spotlights the artists and songs we can't get out of our heads.

Today's episode features Iowa City musician Brian Johannesen, Rachel Waters of Hawkeye Wrestling Club RTC, and Ink 19's own Jeremy Glazier having the most positive music conversation on the internet right now—never mind that half of their favorite songs involve misery.

Stream the show for a selection of beautiful songs about hard-livin’, coalminin’,  stealin’, and dyin’ in a variety of ways, plus three super nice people’s happy afternoon dialogue about songs in the time of coronavirus and baby name predictions for the year 2044.

This episode was produced by Frank Dreyer, Ian Koss, Rose Petralia, and Gregory Schaefer. Our theme music was composed by Avi Bortnick—check him out online at avibortnick.com. Big thanks to Jeremy Glazier.
