Rose Melberg

Indiepop legend Rose Melberg (Tiger Trap! The Softies! Go Sailor! Gaze!) phones it in from Vancouver, BC, and despite a throat ailment it sounds ace. A true professional and a wonderful musician. Welcome back, Rose!

Songs:

Take Some Time / Irene / Snow Like This / Autumn (Mia Doi Todd cover) / Cold Sea

The USA is a monster.

It's true. Colin Langenus/Matthews and Thom Hohman phone it in from Brooklyn, NY, dude. USAISAMONSTER fry it up so sweet you'll need to drill holes in your head to relieve the pressure.

This is the first show we've ever had to cut off. The next DJ was gracious enough to give us an extra fifteen minutes, before finally forcing me to turn it off with five minutes until the eventual end. This will always be one of my biggest regrets.

Anyway. Cuts off, finishes HERE.

Jens Lekman

Jens Lekman and his kalimba phone it in from the bathtub of his apartment in Gothenburg, Sweden. Everything you've heard about Jens Lekman is true. Magical, charming, and utterly disarming. In a word, perfect.

Incredible new and fantastic songs:

I Am Leaving You Because I Don't Love You / A Postcard To Nina / Your Arms Around Me / If You Were The Topic On Jeopardy (aborted) / Julie

Tara Jane Oneil!

Tara Jane Oneil (Retsin, Rodan, The Sonora Pine), Kristina Davies, and Mr. Sandy Pants (cat) phone it in from Portland, OR. TJO leaves you speechless and draws joyous feathered colors from your tongue. Or something. It's a wonderful show.

Songs:

The Partridge Song / The Poisoned Mine / Blue Light Room / I Don't Need No Pony / The New River Blues (Michael Hurley cover) / The Sunday Song

Justin Shay

Justin Shay (The New Sound of My Bossa Nova, Ever Will You Get There) phones it in from Los Angeles, CA. Better than dozing on the couch on a sunny day. Better than most other things, in fact. Beautiful loops and peaceful vibes. Beautiful.
