New episode coming this Friday. Memorial day, you know.

I'm really getting into the new Boris, Smile, Japan version. Boris are a band that I never found as interesting as everyone else , mainly because their sludge just seemed like Melvins/Earth rehash and their pretty seemed like cookie-cutter MBV'isms. But Smile is really turning my crank with the big pop hooks, the great pysch touches, and the Stoogesy rocking out at times. Cohesive! Expect to hear me say all of this almost verbatim in Friday's episode.

Also listening to new Zorn (The Dreamers), that recent M83, The Trees' Christian-pysch classic The Christ Tree, Nilsson's Flash Harry, a lot of Ghostbox stuff, Chris (Carter) and Cosey (Fanni-Tutti)'s Trance, Patty Waters on Esp-Disk, old Tom Waits, new Matmos, Laura Nyro, and Panic at the Disco. Totally not joking about that last one.

Go here and fill your pockets while you can. See you Friday.

you ever listen to torche? i saw them play with friends from the sword at the church in philly on the last tour. everybody describes them as if the melvins got big instead of nirvana in the early 90's.
