two (in)glorious hours tonight, as we make up for last week’s detour, with newness from The Goon Sax, The Sea and Cake, Lume, BNLX, Hit Bargain, Dude York, Wild Pink and more — and a birthday nod to Eno (70 years of oblique strategies writ large…) The Goon Sax — She Knows  /  The Sea and Cake — […]

a career-to-date chat & with the singular Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. — Jellyfish co-founder, Beck touring & session musician, solo artist, and all-around gentleman. we play some of his classic & recent work, and traverse the long & winding road that led to his upcoming solo EP, Glamping… and address the question on everyone’s lips: […]

pre-taped tonight, so’s I can go see the LCDs in Santa Barbara.  you understand.  more cuts from great albums featured on last week’s show, plus a double shot of Sloan (that’s what 27 years gets you.  better than a fountain pen.) Post Animal — Gelatin Mode  /  Melvins — Break Bread  /  Bush Tetras — Red Heavy  /  Guided By Voices — King […]

Wreckless Eric is back — and in good form.  Omni gives us a new jangle, Pill get their early stuff reissued on wax, and we spend 10 infectious minutes with a Scottish charity album.  all in a day’s. Unknown Mortal Orchestra — American Guilt  /  Omni — Sunset Preacher  /  Say Sue Me — Dreaming  /  Pill — Side Eye  /  Wreckless […]

show 100 is a please-give-us-your-money affair, but who doesn’t love a pledge drive?  we pay it back in advance, with newness from Sloan (27 years & going strong), A Place to Bury Strangers, Bush Tetras, Hinds, and more of that amazing Amazing.  pay the fare and get onboard. Sloan — Have Faith  /  The Sidekicks — Twin’s Twist  /  […]

I coulda stopped with the balls-out rock-a-rolla of BAMBARA & The Sueves.  I coulda pulled back after I laid some of The Amazing on you.    I coulda left you to slip into the deep haze of Holy Wave.  but I upped the ante with new RBCF, Bodega and more.  oh, and the MC5 are […]

the only thing reliable in a world of uncertainty is a new GBV album.  and so it is.  we celebrate Failure new & old, bask in the madness of The Garden, enjoy 3 minutes of Italian rock, and lend 10 minutes to the man Neil Young.  time well spent. Naked Giants — Dat Boi  /  Guided By […]

two sweet hours tonight for you to bask in the warm, iridescent glow of the open water.  we kick off with as infectious an ode to depression as one could ask for, courtesy of the restless guys in Preoccupations.  add in some classic Wire, and new stuff from the Bees, Spirit Night, Dusk and more.  […]

they asked if I wanted to see the Bowie exhibit in Brooklyn, so I went.  wouldn’t you?  show is a priority, but the Thin White Duke is a bigger one.  so all the dialogue sounds like, say, someone was sitting in a crappy business center in a downtown hotel, huddled over an iPhone, before being […]

some things go on for two hours.  this show is one of them.  all the better to fit in some anniversary records from the likes of Britpoppers Supergrass, The House of Love & Gomez.  and noisy new stuff from Lithics, FRIGS, Moaning, The Lovely Eggs and more.  rest in peace and lockstep time, Chalo. Moaning — Close  /  […]
