Second Show!

Sophomore Slump? Hell no. This show was even more fun than last week's!

Here's the set list, started with some new music.

New Music!
Andrew Bird - Plasticities (Armchair Apocrypha)
The Shins - Pam Berry (Wincing the Night Away) -- This isn't really a song, I guess technically it is, but it's less than a minute long and just OK. But it's named after (and about (fictionally or non-fictionally)) Black Tambourine frontwoman Pam Berry. Which is SO COOL.

Deerhoof - +81 (Friend Opportunity)

ARTIST(S) OF THE WEEK:

Andrew Bird













So, as most of you already know, Andrew Bird's new album, Armchair Apocrypha, leaked to the internet this week. And for the past five days or so I've been listening to it at least twice a day. It has completely taken me over and I can't explain it. I think it's his best album yet. The man is a pop music wizard. That's all.

Listen >>> Andrew Bird - Heretics

Of Montreal



























Their new album, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer, comes out this week and I really think this might be my new favorite Of Montreal record. On it, Kevin Barnes constructs his own modern indie pop Ziggy Stardust. And on top of that, it's a divorce album (sort of) and by far the darkest album the band has ever produced (and the funkiest, holy shit). And I love it. I love it a lot.

Listen >>> Of Montreal - Gronlandic Edit
Listen >>> Of Montreal - Suffer For Fashion
