Yeats is Greats

Hey, a quick post from the radio station today.

Since this is a blog on the interwebs, here is what I am listening to. In this case, it is quite literal, since I'm sitting in a darkened room surrounded by thousands of dollars of audio equipment.

Apologies in advance if there's too much indie in the pants.

The Speakers - Yeats is Greats

This is a great example of how my love of bizarrely awesome album titles/art lead to an excellent musical find. I forgot my camera today, but you can check out a small pic of the cover from the site; it's far better in person.


Oh yeah, there's some music, too. Music in which the poems of William Butler Yeats are set to music. Yeah.


Secret Mommy - Plays

Somewhat folksy songs with a subtle electronica vibe. Glitches/beats here and there add to the acoustic guitar and sparse, almost bjorkesque vocals. That's right, BJORKESQUE, MOFOS. Also, bass clarinet? Mandolin? Cello? Bari sax? That's cool.


(Side note: I just played a jazz song on-air featuring a Moog synth on it.)


Fannypack - See You Next Tuesday

Did you want catchy-as-hell female-headed New York hip-hop?

No, you do. That wasn't a question. Especially when the beats are this funky-fresh.


More later, maybe.
