Show 82

This past week was our fundraiser! The theme is "Playing Favourites." Appropriately, I had Colin Brown, Aaron Robertson, and Justin Register from Marry a Thief on the show for an interview. Tonight at New Brookland Tavern is their CD release show for "Reaction, Explosion." We played the album throughout the show, so if you were listening you were one of the first to hear the album in its entirety. :) Feel special.

After the interview I played an hour of Man Man songs. Man Man is an experimental group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They've toured with: Modest Mouse; Yessayer; and The Extraordinaries. They've also played at: Pitchfork Festical 06; Coachella 08; and Voodoo Experience 08. I played their songs in chronological order, and in track order. This was not a cop-out. I did it so that A.) we could hear the band's sound over time and B.) because bands usually put a lot of thought into the order of the songs on their album and I wanted to honor that.

I had a fantastic request. It was for a song off of Six Demon Bag, right before I started playing the album. AWESOME timing!
