Hello, partygoers!
Mo’ music, less problems! That’s right! Lots of songs this week as we tackle “Side 2” of Nick Owen’s first mixtape: big beat, breakbeats, lo-fi indie psych pop, Cancon, sad voices, the legacy of Abbey Road, foundational power pop, kooky art rock, drum machines, and grunge-funded orch pop!

Dept. of Corections:Dave misspoke during the show. He meant to say Brutal Youth – the 1994 album by Elvis Costello and the Attractions – not Sonic Youth, the boring alt-rock group.
