Rage. Albeit White Aspirational Middle Class rage. Rage allthesame.
This week Glenn Beck & Nancy Grace take you, the listening few, through the 4 levels of stifled anger:
1) She fancies him more than me
2) Cyclists in rush hour
3) Piss dance
4) Christian Bale

Math The Band, New Numbers, Cancel The Astronauts, Manson Family Picnic, Bombadil, The Builders & The Butchers, Meursault (USA), The Brian Jacket Letdown, Anni b Sweet, Jordaan Mason & The Horse Museum, LondonBlackMarket, One Hundred Hurricanes, Alexi Murdoch, CoCoRosie, Liz Isenberg, Revolver, The Most Serene Republic, The Wind Whistles + more.

½DC + TWoTH
p.s. the podcast mp3 is tagged incorrectly; where it should read “270609″, it reads “200709″. Nope, we’re not sure how that happened either.

Well now, that was a great show! And thanks very kindly for the shoutout/dedication
“Sad Birthday” really is a wonderful song… it’s a grower TWoTH!
You’ve managed to craft this show so that I kept thinking my “winner” song was up and then the next one would knock it down by being even better. Alexi Murdoch at the end was just a killer. Why have I not been following/stalking him before now?
Other highlights: Cancel the Astronauts (whose CD I have on my pile of things to be reviewed), Bombadil of course, that new Builders & Butchers song is wonderful, and the Brain Jacket Letdown selection did make me want to buy that record.
Windmill, Londonblackmarket, One Hundred Hurricanes were all good, very good. And that lullabye sounding track from Liz Isenberg with the banjo intro was gorgeous. I did think Simone White was my winner, honestly. She has a hint of Ricky Lee Jones to her that I adore. But, alas, Alexi Murdoch blew me away.
The Meursault song might work it’s way into my brain eventually only because I can imagine it with better production, sounding more balanced and even angrier!

Dude - u seen those celebrity chimp dudes yet? There the best
TWOTH/DC:
Stringfellow intro … very funny, shiockingly funny. Ghost in the Mirror / Sad Birthday wonderful syncopated rhythms enjoyed them both. Mersault was like fingernails scraping a chalkboard but cant stop listening, ambivalence. I don’t hear anger, St Vitus’ Dance ia a more likely cause.
My favorite… Simone White, The violin and the quiet lyrics, this song glides and spins like an ice-skater in slow motion, a sweet ,sleepy mood. This is art. Liz Eisenberg’s track fits with Soimone’s. As usual you have taken a a handful of jig-saw puzzle pieces and assembled them perfectly , to quote you ” I doff my hat to you”
The Tick bite made you angry? … thats Potomac fever my boy! Still for being soall the blather about being so angry the show was very calm and soothing, how do you do it?
