4/13 Show
I'm headed to Portland, OR for a long weekend in a couple of days, so it seemed a good time to highlight that city's blossoming indie scene. The first hour+ of the show I dedicated to Portland bands (starting with 2 classic garage tracks and ending with Glass Candy). After that I previewed many an upcoming concert, of which I'm hoping to attend The Thermals/Shaky Hands show in about 2 weeks.
I'll still be in Portland next Monday, so I won't be on the radio.
Mp3 links are up, but there's only 2 this week.

Wishing I Was in Austin
3/16 Show
Yep, I'm totally missing out on the fun in Austin this week. Maybe next year when I don't have an epic backcountry ski race to prepare for. I did, however, DJ at a crazy Robot Dance Party on Monday night that almost made up for not being at SXSW.
Played lots of "older" tracks this week, meaning songs I might have played a year or two ago but haven't since then. Check out the new EP from Surf City, hosted by Kyle's friend on his new blog "Someday I'll be Dignified and Old".

Cutdown
3/9 Show
Bad news found its way to Music is My Girlfriend headquarters Monday morning as I learned the upcoming Cut Copy ("MIMG's Best Album of 2008" winner) show in Denver had sold out. Chances of scoring free tickets through KBUT are dwindling, so I may be standing outside the Bluebird on Sunday night pestering concert goers for tickets. Naturally, I mourned this development by playing several Cut Copy songs.
On the bright side, KBUT's home page will now display the Song Title and Artist of each song I play in real-time. Its a pretty cool feature, and I was happy to be the Guinea Pig for it today during my show.
