About this episode
Mike Herrera discusses music submissions from various artists and shares insights on the music industry.
It's a full Music Monday episode. Submissions came in from all over — Spokane, Quebec City, Toronto, Arizona, Japan, and more. Each Artist gets a listen and a real reaction. Before the music, Mike explains the new submission process: post your music in the comments of the pinned Music Monday post in the Mike Herrera Podcast Facebook group. He also goes on a tangent about subscription services, TiVo, and the lost art of owning things — sparked by his kids discovering Tropic Thunder. Bands featured: The Pink Socks (Spokane, WA), XXsmiile (Quebec City), Suit Yourself, Surrender the Ghost, Gaijinja (Japan), Net Minder, Burning Out (Toronto), WinterHaven (Arizona), Jon Berman, Clouer New MxPx album update: still in the middle of it, working hard.
