This time in particular I want to thank KEXP. Its 'Song of the Day' is to thank for most of the music on this post's tracklist. A couple also came from MPR's 'Song for the Day.'

I would highly recommend getting these podcast if you don't already.

Tuesday night has been the night over the past few weeks. Went to the Rev Room this week to see The Dirtbombs. Sad to say I was one of maybe 30 people who did. The Dirtbombs might have been disappointed but I sure wasn't. Had plenty of room to rock out and wander around looking like a thief at their equipment.

Once again I have a 45 to share. My wife went back to thank the guys/girl for coming and get the 45 signed. We both are praying to see them in Little Rock again - next time we'll bring more friends.

Thanks Mr. Collins and Company.

Digging up the dead expecting them to dance

Had an opportunity to see Dr. Dog this week at George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville, AR. It was my first Dr. Dog show and I was pleased.

They opened with my favorite song, Ain't It Strange, off of 2006's EP Takers and Leavers. Throughout the show the large crowd (in spite of it being spring break in a college town) danced and sang along before they closed the set with Worst Trip off of their latest LP We All Belong. All-in-all a wonderful show and worth the 180 miles I drove to see them.

Before the show started I perused their merch table and grabbed a copy of the 7-inch featuring a Beck re-mix of their song The Girl and their popular cover of Architecture in Helsinki's Heart It Races. I have used the new USB vinyl player to create some good quality mp3s for you.

Hope you enjoy.

And a bonus, the album version of The Girl, from We All Belong:

I would kiss the Devil's cheek to get this halo off of me.

After much neglect GimmieGimmieGimmie has a new mix available. Hope you enjoy it.
