The Playlist 8/5

August 6, 2009 - 1:18 pm

Last night was a really great show! The music selection I went with was awesome and there was a ton of instant message love from listeners. It’s rare to get more than one or two IMs or calls during a show (how often do you call radio stations when you’re listening? Huh?), but there were a ton last night.

I’ve been really excited this week about the albums by The Builders And The Butchers, God Help The Girl, Sean Walsh and the National Reserve, and Deer Tick. Deer Tick, The Builders And The Butchers, and Sean Walsh… are all a bit more Southern in nature and God Help The Girl has a nice 60s pop thing going on. Check this stuff out.

If you haven’t checked out Math The Band yet, they sound kind of like what I would expect if Atom from Atom And His Package was the front man for The Anniversary. Unfortunately, I missed seeing them at Death Valley in New Brunswick this weekend. Got there just a little too late.

Oh and here’s a new song by Teenage Bottlerocket…click me!

The Playlist 7/29

It always sucks when you have a week off and come back to do a radio show that doesn’t go as smoothly as normal. It was a little rough last night on the mic break front, but at least it was a strong show musically. I don’t really think I’m digging the new Placebo record that much which is a shame, but I really want to check out the rest of this The Builders And The Butchers album. I really liked the song I played last night, I think the record has some serious potential. I’ll have to give it some time.
