Band In Boston

When I came across this session in our “unreleased” drawer, I felt like we had done a disservice to the world for making you wait so long. Carter is the lead dude in Tulsa, and his songs are just as hauntingly beautiful solo as with the full band. Just look at Stella. She’s approves wholeheartedly.

Song List:

* (new song)

* (yesterday)

* Horrorscope

* Tops of Trees

* I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight (by Richard and Linda Thompson)

* I Feel Great

A few of you have asked us about our production process.  That’s pretty much it. Featuring Akron Family, Marc Pinansky, Paleo, Ketman, Horse Feathers, The Thermals, Faces on Film, The Shakey Hands, Point Juncture, WA, The Everyday Visuals, Rotary Club, Crowns, and Asa Prebner.

The Myspace Player version of most of this week’s songs.

Here’s a posthumus release from a band that was simply Cherryaxe when they came in. Then they went the way of the dinosaur. Dame shame too. Kind of a Velvet Underground with a sense of humor and without all that pesky heroin.

Another great Brooklyn band. I think they were a bit dubious of our latest mini drumkit experiment – leaving the practice pads on. I don’t think we’ll make a habit of it, but it worked out ok. They are heading to Amsterdam this winter, so who knows if they’ll  ever find their way back. Let’s hope they do.

Song list:

* Fuck My Ghost

* Real Man

* Feel It

* Danger Everywhere You Turn

*

* Stubborn Woman

* Recyclin’ Bin

* Hoogabooga

*

We’ve had a lot of people pestering us for this one. Naked Gods come from North Carolina, and managed to make our living room sound like a cavern with their incredibly soulful Band-like americana. The last time they were in town, they played to an utterly packed Zuzu. On a monday night, no less. Be sure to help pack the next joint they hit.

Song List:

* Slow Dogs

* Stranded/Poor

* Rick Danko (Was an Honest Man)

* Mountain Smashing Song of Joy

* Blah Blah Blah

* Mother Sun

We’ve gotten over our respective flus, colds, and general winter doldrums, and hot damn, it’s nice outside! In celebration, we decided to do one of these shows that we used to do all the time. Featuring You and Your Pointy Ears, Mount Peru, BoomSnake, Metal Feathers, The Goodnight Loving, Thick Shakes, The Woodrow Wilsons, The Accident That Led Me To The World, Christopher Bell, Manchester Orchestra, Winston Audio, Hands and Knees, The First Day of Summer, Bell & the Bees, Gregg Porter, Living Things, Now, Now Every Children, The Hush Now, You Can Be A Wesley, The Sneaks, Prabir and the Substitutes, The Double-Stops, Young and Old, and Bill Trudell.

And hey, check this out. If you’d rather skip through the songs and not listen to us, you can jump on to our Myspace playlist for this episode!

Here’s something Boston needs more of: clever and intelligent, yet interminably catchy and danceable pop music. They’ve got a CD release at the Paradise on Friday, 4/17! Yes!!! Be there!!!
