selected current in-studios

Here’s three good recent instudio stuff you should listen to in your copious free desk time on Friday. It’s all downtempo and simple and it’s perfect for a cold December Friday. So have at it. Unless you work for a giant corporation that blocks your internet, obviously. In which case: sucks to be you!

  • Dan Wilson – Interview and 3 songs, including a cover of Dylan’s “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight” which isn’t as good as I wanted it to be. But still, it’s Dan Wilson and you have to listen because you live here.
  • Blitzen Trapper – This is from an in-studio that happened the same night they played the Turf Club which happened to be the same night of Maren’s wedding so I didn’t go to the Turf Club I went to Maren’s wedding instead. She had a DJ. I requested Michael Jackson. I danced. It was fun. But enough about that, let’s talk about how great this version of ‘Furr’ is. And how the whole thing is so Dylan meets The Dead and it’s so great and you should so totally listen to this one, too. But yeah, I’m still not sold on the loon.
  • Calexico – It’s exactly what you want from Calexico. Mellow voices and soft trumpets and guitars and basically just fantasticness in your headphones. It’s so easy. It shouldn’t be, but it totally is.

Have fun.

Warm biscuits at home for less than $0.30! Freshly glazed perfect holiday ham for $4/person! Since when did they do the math for us? Isn’t the whole foundation of rube consumer exploitation (rubesploitation?) built upon the theory that we don’t
