New release Tuesday highlights...
Destroyer "Rubies"
Dan Bejar has grown famous by working with The New Pornographers.
This is his 'other project' now on it's 7th album. Some bitter tunes about fame and wonderfully full melodic pop parts.
The M's "Future Women"
They will be in town at the 400 bar with Archer Prewitt on Thursday.
Fuzzed out rock for the nowherenow gen-eeeeeeer-ation.
plus...
Elbow "Leaders of the Free World"
and Billy Bragg re-issues galore!!
Was honored to have not one but two talented and humble artists in
the studio with me tonight! Check them out on their formidable websites;
Vinicius Cantuaria was at The Dakota tonight and has a new cd out called 'Silva' www.vinicius.com
And Scanner is in town for the Spark festival at the U. He said that he has always wanted to do a radio show...when he grows up. When he's done with eveything else I would have him on any time, he was awesome;

I enjoyed both interviews. Man, lucky duck Vinicius C. getting to work w/ Eno and Byrne.
Strange bit of synchronicitea w/ Scanner. Just as he mentioned John Cage as being an influence, I was reading a book about American musical pioneers and was reading about Cage. I very much enjoyed his Tuxedomoon cover, even if he was singing under the duvet... excellent show and interviews!
