Adam and Bradley dive into new material from an elder Costello and give some feedback to feedback heavy Los Angeles noise rockers No Age. Plus they recommend an album old and new both great, go through music news, and lead out with a stellar Atlanta band.
Tracks played on the show:
While the hook for Flood pt. 1 may be the melody of the year, Canadian rockers The Acorn have a deep understanding of rhythm. Their complex poly-rhythms accentuate already powerful songs into a driving emotional powerhouse. One we were graciously able to witness first hand.

Why are we drawn to observe situations of life and death? Is it because we live in such security? Our decisions are each small reflections of these concepts, but their physical actuality is sealed away through mutual funds, automatic bank drafts, directions from the interstate, etc.
That is why music is so important. Music can be a grandiose gateway into a world outside of self and security. The video above and the M83 song in it are an example of the epic life or death struggle in everyday life. It was made by a company called Lakai which sells shoes to skateboarders, but whatever its commercial intensions this piece of film goes far beyond mere advertisement.
As you can see, Feist has so many accolades she can barely hold them all. Those are Juno awards by the way. They’re Canada’s answer to the grammy.
It was this very picture tonight that made my evening album choice, and it was a rewarding experience to revisit the singer’s 2007 album The Reminder. Quiet and reserved even in her most up beat numbers, Feist’s songs resonate with a dynamic strength. This is not languid croony acoustic rock. It’s smart, immaculately planned, fun, and every new moment is built to strengthen the next.
Kinda like these guys:
Who I betcha she likes a lot.
