I get it: it’s Monday, you’ve still got about four hours left before you can go home, and you’re currently daydreaming about reenacting that Office Space scene where they drive the printer out to the middle of a field and put it out of its misery. Well, I can’t magically turn the clock forward to 5:00, but I can try to ease your troubled mind a bit for the next half hour or so. Just let this new Four Tet release play in the background, take a few deep breaths, and remind yourself that you’re already 1/10th of the way through your work week. It’s basically over already!
I wanted to play this on the show, but there’s a pesky “shit” snuck in mid-song…. So off to the blog it goes!
Let’s slow things down a bit, shall we?

It’s about 12:45 and I just realized I forgot to schedule a post for today, so I’ll just remind you to check out the documentary Pitchfork recently released on Slowdive’s seminal album.

You can check it out right here.
When I describe Widowspeak’s music as “pleasant”, I worry it might come off as condescending, but I assure you I mean it in the best way possible. Their new LP, All Yours, is out 9/4 on their longtime home, Capture Tracks.
Oh, what’s that you say? You demand even more new Widowspeak music? Settle down, you weirdo, and listen to this:
A little “behind the scenes at the Radio Shower” for you today: I’ve got a bookmark folder full of songs I wanna put up on the blog, and it’s stuffed pretty full right now. Because of that, there’s times I don’t get around to posting “new” songs til a week or two after I actually hear em. But when a new Destruction Unit jam get released, alongside an album announcement? Straight to the front of the goddamned line! It appears if Negative Feedback Resistor takes another big step forward in capturing the energy of the band’s so-loud-you’ll-puke live shows, or gets about as close one could hope. Need another reason to be excited? It features appearances by Alex Zhang (he of Dirty Beaches fame) and Don Bolles (he drummed for the friggin’ Germs). Out 9/18
