| THIS WEEK'S DIRECTIVES. (NOTE: NONE ARE OPTIONAL.) 1. Go rent Gosford Park. 2. Bake your significant other a risotto for your next date. Use lots of white wine and good cheese. 3. If you don't already have a bike, go buy one right now. 4. Read "When Surface was Depth" by Michael Bracewell. 5. You have too many records/CDs. Give at least 20 of them away to the first available teenagers you see. 6. Go out to see a band. You haven't gone in a while and it would do you good. And get a little dressed up. Bring friends. (NOTE: Reunion shows of bands like GBH, the Stooges, Digital Underground, or "The Doors" do not count.) 7. Clean your apartment. 8. Change the magnets on your refrigerator. That magnetic poetry kit stopped being funny about 4 years ago, and your freezer has said "I am lord of her panty machine" for just as long. 9. Get a haircut. 10. Have another cup of coffee. | ||||

| Speaking Canaries | Menopause Diaries | MP3 | from their forthcoming album on Scat Records. Available on the Scat Website as a download. This is one of the best songs I've heard in a really long time, and has inspired me to work on hopefully getting the Speaking Canaries down for a live session later this summer. Like the Gem song I played last week, I can't help but wonder if I really deserve knowing a song this good. | * |

| Wombats | Bye Bye Baby | Zontar Must Die | A few people emailed me with suggestions as to who fulfilled the roll of New Jersey's 1980s "hobby bands" and most of the suggestions were of the punk/hardcore variety like P.E.D., Big Nurse, Cyanamid, and Detention. Perhaps it's just my sense of local pride, but I still like all those bands and wouldn't categorize them in the back-handedly derrogatory "hobby band" genre just yet. Maybe the hobby phenom didn't hit Jersey until later on... Bubblegum Thunder? Loose? Motel Shootout? The Blisters? Hell, I like all those bands too... Oh, forget it. | |
| Saints | This Perfect Day (original version) | Tales from the Australian Underground 2xCD | compilation -- Saints guitarist Ed Kuepper is still the coolest guy ever. (I checked.) | * |
| 25 Suaves | Detroit | Bulb Singles Volume 2 | compilation -- You do not know the meaning of "party" (used in the present tense verb form) until you have seen this song performed live. | * |

| Nas | Made Ya Look | God's Son | "Let me see your hand that you shoot with, count your loot with, push the pool stick in your new crib, same hand that you hoop with, swing around like you stoo-pid" is possibly my favorite lyric of the century, just FYI. | |

| Six Eye Columbia | Traitor Hygeine | A Million Six | Same band that did that weird Roxy Music/Black Sabbath thing. They cover "Rich Girl" by Hall & Oates, too, which it would be remiss of me to not mention. | * |
| Vertebrats | Left in the Dark | 1000 Day Dream | Still totally bakes my pop cookies, even after 1000 spins. Pop cookies? Let's hear it for making up terminology on the spot... I had initially typed "totally melts my pop nads" but then decided that was a little gross. | |
| The French Revolution | 9 'til 5 | Freakbeat Fantoms | compilation | |
| The Rub | Death of Pop | MP3 | This song serves as the theme song to a fine radio show hosted by my good friend Jon Solomon. | |
| Afghan Whigs | Milez is Dead | Congregation | A friend and I put this one on last week after some (very stiff) drinks at the local Cuban place (which you may recall wreaked havoc on my playlist page two weeks ago... Ahem) and we were both hit with the fond remembrance of how good this song is. A DJ named Tim O'Reiley was the first guy at my old station to find this bonus track buried at the end of the Whigs' "Congregation" CD on Sub Pop, which us inferior types had all been playing "Conjure Me" from for weeks. After Tim spilled the beans, it was this track for weeks and weeks thereafter. If I knew how to track down Tim (I lost touch with him years ago), I would be compelled to give him a firm handshake right about now. | |
| Sleepytime Gorilla Museum | Bring Back the Apocalypse | Live | * | |
| Turtles | Eleanor | Slowed down MP3 -- Thank you, computer. | ||
| Thanks to all who listened, called, or emailed during the show. You morning folk have made me feel so welcome on this spangly new daytime airshift, and I can't thank you enough for that! Ciao for now... | ||||
