Link to the Show / Show NotesOn this show we spin tunes that sound like hits or are hits in our opinion. We are also celebrating the WFMU marathon: when you listen you'll catch a bunch of sound bites we swiped off their site and added to our already lo-fi production values... Plus as not to forget about St. Pattys we're playing a few Irish bands. As usual we're packing in the entertainment value for you. The setkicks it off with "Bunny ain't no kind of rider" off Of Montreal's new one, followed by "Brenda" by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion from their silver LP Orange, followed by "North east rising sun" from the new Trans Am release Sex Change, The Slats put their spin on some bass driven new wrap disco with "Ignatious" from their new one Boom Patrol -- pick it up for sure we give it 4 stars just for the 2 strings they use, so you will need to recalibrate your rocknroll systems, we follow this track up with Trio on Vinyl with their club hit "Ana - no more no less", Ghislain Poirier with "MC Diplomat" featuring DJ Collage. Our nod to Guiness brings The Frames from their new album The Cost with a track called "Falling Slowly", b/w The Pogues classic rocker "The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn" from Rum, Sodomy & Lash, House of Pain does it old school with a sub pop 7" @33 instead of 45 with their house tune "Shamrocks & Shenanigans". We throw in a track by Camera Obscura from their recent release "If looks could kill"(love the reverb on this guitar) in the middle there some where, we also spin a newish track by The Arcade Fire called "No Car G" off of Neon Bible. We close the set with a couple Stones covers: one by Red Kross doing their version of "Citadel" from their cover album Teen Babes from Monsanto LP and Streetlab sweeps it up with "Gimme Shelter". You can't ask for more than this for yourbuck since this show is free. Enjoy.
