The Lacking Permanence

The Mommyheads would like to know if you are OK, like really OK and not just saying that.

Tonight’s show kicks off with a long overdue hour of Version Control 10 — our special blend of songs that you might call “covers”. About a year ago, I filled three hours with covers, which leads me to believe something is messing with the covers ecosystem, and I have my theories. The middle hour was a regular Mixtape (if such a thing can be allowed), and the Final Hour was its usual rocketride mindtrip, a big thank you to all that came aboard.

From the benthic depths, Ozric Tentacles rules their empire of resinous drone.

DJ Shadow, master of spin and finesse of fader, hits hard and in the nick of time.

Lewsberg wear their love for certain protopunk prototypes quite well.

I was not properly prepared to discuss Cat Power’s tribute to Bob Dylan’s 1966 Royal Albert Hall concert, and specifically where it was recorded, but now I can reveal the facts: the Cat Power recording was made at RAH. However, Dylan’s original recording was NOT made at RAH, despite the famous bootleg’s common name, instead having taken place in Manchester, a good ways away.

What FIZZ does is bombastic, is unexpected, and is just a lot of fun.

Listen to The Bug Club sing about marriage, and you will instantly know marriage.

Let’s face it, we’re going to be hearing tracks from The Bug Club for a couple months, since I keep finding gems strewn loosely about their most recent album. Lots of listeners checked in for this show, my apologies to those that checked out during the elevator hellride at the beginning of the show. Technical issues, we’re working on them.

I have no doubt Jeff Rosenstock knows where to get the best pizza in town.
