I've made it to 40 Beat'casts with this week's show. That's worthy of a celebratory drink, wouldn't you say? Have to admit, back in the day me and the boys used to play quarters with oh-so-deadly Olde English 800. Charcoal Filtered, yo! But it was either that or Mickey's Big Mouths, Robin Hood Cream Ale or other fine swill we youngins could pick up. Needless to say, I practiced getting good at sinking that quarter. Anyways...cheers.
This week, I’m spinning 10 artists for the first time including MIND SPIDERS, TINY VICTORIES, BLONDES, POOR MOON, & SANTIGOLD (U.S.A.); BUILDINGS, SWISS LIPS, and VIRALS (U.K.); FIRST AID KIT (Sweden), and ALPINE (Australia). I’ll give spins to the latest from GRIMES, HOWLER, ALT-J, NICOLAS JAAR, SIMIAN GHOST, LOWER DENS and AIR. Plus, new music from (putting it politely) veterans THE FALL and MAGAZINE, their first release in 30 years!
And don’t miss my Wild Card Pick of the Week, where I’ll dip into my personal collection to play something a little out of the norm. This time, it's the debut single from one of my very favorite bands, released 35 years ago this March. Think you know it? I hope you'll listen and find out. Bottoms up!
