A vague winter theme during this show. Not a lot of new stuff.
Here's this week's stuff:

December 2 2009
The Vivian Girls/Real Estate/Math the Band/My Heart to Joy show went fine. A few things about the show:
1) Real Estate killed it, and I'm kind of surprised the kids liked them as much as they did
2) Math the Band is pretty fun
3) Hardcore bands are apparently kind of dense, self-important, and difficult to deal with
4) Vivian Girls still put on a good live show. They even switched instruments this time
5) Good times.
I had a trainee. He played some Melvins and Boris. Some other stuff I wasn't really into. Kid refuses to use headphones, will probably be way too loud or way too soft if he does his own show. He'll learn.
All of a sudden, the kids felt the need to squat in on my show. I don't mind too much, but it can get distracting. I don't want to name names, but maybe it'll show one or two of them how to do it (zing!).
Anyway, here's the show from December 2, 2009. It wasn't my best mix, but it wasn't bad.

Julian Plenti - "Games for Days"
So, since 2007, drummer Sam Fogarino started a side project (Magnet Morning) with the dude from Swervedriver, bassist Carlos Dengler continues to DJ on the side as well as provide remixes for other band's stuff, and guitarist Dan Kessler is apparently just kind of laying low. That leaves Banks. Earlier this year, his solo album (to be released under the name Julian Plenti, an alias he apparently used to perform under pre-Interpol) was announced. Very few details were given, aside from a cover and a track listing.
Well not anymore.
"Games for Days" didn't do a whole lot for me. It doesn't sound too distant from Interpol's work to warrant a release under a different name. The radio edit clocks in at 3:49, so to be fair, I might be missing a bitching guitar solo or some profound lyrics from an excised bridge. The song isn't bad just kind of boring. It features that sort of post-punk guitar sound Interpol's been at for years, although grainier and lacking in reverb. The occasional punchy, muted, almost chugging from the guitars isn't really my thing either. Seems out of place. The fluid, throbbing bass provided by Dengler on the Interpol albums is also absent. It may be the stereo I'm using, but that was the first thing I noticed. The lack of a thumping bassline. The basslines were usually my favorite part of Interpol songs. The song has almost a dance pop drum beat with the drums themselves sounding a little less than organic. Major emphasis on the bass drum too. It feels too much like a retread of Interpol's material, without the sunglasses, black suits, and cigarette smoke that made their first album such a highlight. This is only one song though, and from the information I've been able to find on the album (which is limited, I could only find a couple early reviews) the album is split between this sort of rock stuff and a more thoughtful, solo acoustic performance. Time will tell.
Julian Plenti - "Games for Days" 2.5/5
Julain Plenti is...Skyscraper will be available August 4th from Matador Records

June Twenty-Fourth 09
I was lucky enough to score an interview with the dudes from Titus Andronicus. I sat down with Patrick Stickles (gtr, vox, lyrics, and probably some other stuff) for a solid 30 minutes, talking about Jersey (Maxwell's, Ramapo College), Ted Leo passing the torch, van mishaps, and all other kinds of good shit. I whittled our conversation down to about 25 minutes, and if anyone knows a place where I can host it online, give me a shout. I'd love to get it out there. I also sat down briefly with Ian Graetzer (bass), Eric Harm (drums), and Liam Betson (gtr, and I think backing vox) and we basically covered the same shit. 'Twas good.
The interviews took up almost half the show, so not a whole lot of tunes this week, but still more than enough to keep you, the loyal listener (reader?) satisfied. Unfortunately, I did forget the 7" and the live LP i picked up from Titus Andronicus after the show, which kind of killed my idea to play that stuff. Oh well, there's always next show. Anyway, let's take a look, shall we?
