Andrew Morrison:
Andy's August show includes new music from Martin Carr, The Horrors, Atomizer, The Bobby McGee's and The Steals as well as more tracks from the High Chai Recordings label. There's a timeless and dramatic movie theme tune by Klaus Doldinger; Teresa's Tasty Tips and Scott's Funky Five Minutes; and the welcome return of no less than three features: The Orchestra Hit Liberation Front, Andy's Old Chestnut and Mr Discography's New Order Jukebox. Unsigned tunes come from Document 3, Spidersleg and Raw Milk, and there's news of the "Peel Legends" month Dandelion Radio has planned for October!

Marcelle:
Length does matter!

In a five-programme special, lasting 14 hours and spread out over three different internet radio stations, Marcelle plays in alphabetical order acts with songs which last at least ten minutes. For Dandelion she plays bands whose names starts with M, R, O and P. Expect some krautrock, an anti-Bush dance track, some Eskimo-music…

Tonight had a whiff of beginning-of-the-end to it, being one of only two shows I've got scribbled down on the calendar in the month or so before I move back to Toronto. That probably explains why, like a huge fanboy dork, I scuttled up to the stage after Acid Eater had finished and swiped their set list. I wish it explained the sweaty "dancing", too, but that's just sort of a given when I'm really into a show now.

So... ACID EATER. Their gear was already set up when I got to Bears, with a sexy Nord Electro plopped down on top of the usual Vox Continental organ to provide some decent rumbling low end. Maybe I just haven't been paying attention, but I hadn't noticed it at previous shows. Anyway, with a photographer in the room, there was plenty of rockstar posing going on, but Maso's regular charges out into the crowd also wrung a bit more energy out of the people who were mostly there for the headliners and eventually got more than four of us dancing. …

B.B. King Brings The Delta To VA | Top 10 of the Week: Excalibur Edition


Robin: When you think, Batman, with those 4 supercrooks hangin' around, it's amazing somebody hasn't already reported this place to the police!
Batman: It's a low neighborhood, full of rumpots. They're used to curious sights, which they attribute to alcoholic delusions.
Robin: Gosh, drinking sure is a filthy thing, isn't it? I'd rather be dead than unable to trust my own eyes!


Not a lot went on this week. I mean, yeah, I did just so happen to go see one of the greatest blues musicians of all-time - no biggie. If you want to read about the amazing show check out the journal here. Honestly, though, the show was amazing as I'm sure everybody knows by now - it is definitely my second favorite concert I've been to (The White Stripes show from last year is still my fave). B.B. King is definitely a great way to start off my concert season. Next I am going to see John Fogerty at the end of the month…

1. How did you get into 31?
Magnolia Electric Co.

It wasn't until 2007 when the band released Sojourner. I had liked some of what I'd heard from Songs:Ohia and thought I'd give this a shot too. Despite liking Sojourner pretty well, I still haven't dug much into their back catalog.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
Leonard Cohen

Probably chelsea hotel. Or Hallelujah - though I don't know if it was his version or not.

3. What's your favourite lyric by 29?
The Beatles

Meh, I dunno.

"And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, Let It Be."

4. What is your favourite album by 49?
The Kinks

Kinda Kinks

5. How many albums by 13 do you own?
Elephant Micah

Physically? Zero. Digital? I think 12.

6. What is your favourite song by 50?
Violent Femmes

Kiss Off

7. Is there a song by 4 that makes you sad?
Sam Cooke

Definitely. A Change Is Gonna Come - there is so much emotion in his…
