We had to break the laws of physics to play fourteen songs this week, but somehow it worked. You’d think we’d have to speed things up to fit that much music into an hour, but we did the opposite instead: things are always a little slower at this point of the summer, so these tracks are meant as an accompaniment to the wind-downs that inevitably creep up on you in late August.
Yo La Tengo starts us off with a track from 2006’s perfectly titled I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass, and by continually playing Cat Power tunes, we hope to impel the creative spirit of Chan Marshall and finally get a new album (we’ve been waiting since 2008!).
A request by Scott is fulfilled–Edinburgh’s Withered Hand‘s latest album was out in March–and we’ll get to another request (from Michael) next week. Basia Bulat also gets some time since she’ll be reprising her beautiful performance with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra at Supercrawl this September 10th.
And we end with a nod to next week’s show which will be feature a slew of more electronic-focused artists, including fellow Supercrawl performers Junior Boys, as well as new music from CSS and John Maus. See ya next week!
