You know, it’s Labor Day. This is sort of about working. Which many of us aren’t doing today. Though I will be a bit. What else needs to be said?
Music
Show starts at 9 tonight, per usual. Stream it at www.wrct.org.
Really not fair that Slowdive can just disappear for so long, then just magically show up again, still able to do stuff like this.
Just got done listening to this. I always have some music that I haven’t heard queued up in one place or another. Anyhow, I liked this enough to share. It’s off of Jakob’s newest lp Sines.
I actually opened up last week’s show with this one, and this is really just an excuse to post the live video below. My favorite comment on the YouTube link is:
“I talked to John Kunz, owner of Waterloo and co-founder of the Coalition of Independent Music Stores and all he said about this was ‘They caused a lot of damage.'”
Sorry, John. Waterloo Records’ web site can be found here if you feel helping reimbursing him for the band’s theatrics. Regardless, the show looks like it was entertaining as hell.
I was once trapped in an outhouse by an aggressive goose. It wasn’t a swan.
Leeds’ Hookworms just announced The Hum, their follow up to last year’s Pearl Mystic. If you’re a fan of Destruction Unit/Disappears/Cryptograms-era Deerhunter/etc…, you should really get on this.
A small excerpt from Senyawa. Fuckin’ brilliant if you ask me. Love this.

A little change up here. You can listen to the Saturday Light Brigade every, well, Saturday on WRCT. This past weekend, an old friend of mine was on the show. Check it out.
Vashti is gearing up to release Heartleap, only her third album in nearly forty years. “Train Song” is a little bit older, originally released as a single in 1966.
