"Gravitate" to Lou Barlow..

Posted at 10:25 AM on October 13, 2009 by Barb Abney

Lou Barlow. Not only is he the frontman of Sebadoh, Folk Implosion and Deluxx Folk Implosion as well as a founding member of Dinosaur Jr., he is also a prolific solo artist who just released his sophomore solo album Goodnight Unknown. Today on our Song Of The Day podcast you can grab the tune "Gravitate" for free!

If you're a new subscriber to the Song Of The Day podcast you will also receive new music from Netherfriends, Lower 48, Drive-By Truckers and Built To Spill. Later this week we'll be featuring new music from Grand Archives, Turbo Fruit and new local music from Zoo Animal.

Lou is currently pulling double-duty on tour with Dinosaur Jr. First, he opens with his band the Missingmen and then he joins J. and Murph onstage. Sadly, the double-duty bit ends on November 8th. Meaning, when Dinosaur Jr. rolls into First Ave. on November 18th, Lou will not be opening. MV&EE will.

If you've got an extra half hour, check out this Goodnight Unknown documentary.
