Following the relative success of my first A-Z show back in June, I knew I would be doing another at some point. With a wealth of alphabetically-diverse new music in my hands, I decided to resurrect the theme for Monday, October 1st. If you missed it last time, A-Z is where I play one song from one artist of each letter of the alphabet. Look at the playlist and you'll figure it out. As per my brother's comment in June, I did follow proper alphabetizing procedure (ex. last names are counted, not first names). It was a fun show and the timing was perfect. Thanks to Burke for stopping by and recommending some Quicksilver Messenger Service and Frank Zappa. Q and Z are always tough spots to fill. Part of my mission was to play some somewhat bizarre and interesting new music, so when my friend Katie told me the next day that my show was "weird," I took it as a compliment.
I recorded this show, so if you weren't able to tune in you can click below and download the first 80 minutes (just type the three letter code near the top of the page). The recording runs from A (Akron/Family) through most of R (Ra Ra Riot).

grant-
due to insufficient internet access, i haven't read your blog for a month or so. but today i am reaping the benefits of an unknown someone's titled "NYC."
i thoroughly enjoy your music jargon and am glad you got to go to the monolith festival. i saw ample amount of photos on some music blogs and it looked righteous with the red rocks setting the stages.
i also got to experience arcarde/lcd together, for the first and last time, last night. the combination of beats and neon was explosive. although, the much talked about surprise was lost to my comrade and i. we are still confused as to what it is or was...
anyway keep on bloggin'. i for one appreciate your music thoughts and suggestions.
