April is the busiest month

Some say it's the cruelest but so far I've been having fun. Last night we played Mylo, Daft Punk, and Fuzzbox, and got a few calls but they were largely of the rambling kind...

I think, if you just happen to be in a local band, you should head over to the lovely Katrina's web page and get the details for the WBER local show's Battle of the Bands, which promises to be a wonderfully cool thing. And please, follow the rules carefully!

No show next week, so that I can relax and prepare for the Trash Can Sinatras interview Tuesday 4/26 at 9 PM. Did I already mention that an entry or two ago? Doesn't hurt to keep the masses informed. This seems to be a good time for mature alternative pop music that TCS among others is purveying. For such an example, I just got an advance of the new Go-Betweens CD, which is as wonderful as I'm sure everybody hoped. A big round of applause as usual goes to Yep Roc, the little label that could, for keeping some of the past few decades' best artists in the public eye. I'm sure there's a churl or two out there that would think that it's some kind of resting place for has-beens, but there's been nothing has-been about any of the fine music coming off that label.

As such, slightly revised playlist:
5/2: Go-Betweens, the Kills, Pearl Jam
5/9: New Order?, Great Lake Swimmers?
