A Constant Grin for April 2, 2021: Indie rock with an echo

Each week DJ Chris creates a "poem-sentence" that contains pieces of all the song titles played in the half-hour indie rock music mini-tour. This week's is "January spirit took a swing at the western blue day drop." This week's image is from the band "Hello Echo," whose song featured today is "A Drop Is An Ocean." The band was LA-based, genre alt-folk-rock, and this album "Echo" is their second, released in 2014. Illustration by band member Andy Sarno. "A Constant Grin" airs live Friday afternoon 2-2:30 PM and Chris has produced over 500 episodes. Check out today's 7-song playlist below.

A Constant Grin for March 5, 2021 -- 'Wristwatch' starts a seven-song poem

This week's one-line poem song descriptor is "Tall acid worms in plain priest wristwatch streams." It's derived from the seven song titles played this week on "A Constrant Grin" from the following artists: Pine Marten, Soltero, Land Lines, Saintseneca, Adam and The Amethysts, The Dinner is Ruined, and For Stars. Three of these bands are new to the show.

Hey I heard a song tonight on your show and I can't remember what the name of it was. You said it was a band that you hardly play on the radio and they're local? Do you have a playlist from your show tonight?
