Jump in the Pool

2/23 Show
Post-pledge drive shows always feel easy. Fewer things to read, no phones to answer, no begging for money. In this spirit, Monday's show was a breeze and a pleasure to DJ. I chiefly highlighted the new Pains of Being Pure at Heart album and the Dark Was the Night Compilation. I'm falling into a nice routine of previewing upcoming record releases (this week: Pomegranates (4/14), Papercuts (4/14), Thermals<4/7), Phoenix (5/25)) and concerts (this week: Modest Mouse, Andrew Bird, Loney Dear, Young Coyotes).

Mp3 links are up and running.
