"Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street": E-day, part the first

Download the new release show here. It's a little short this week, due to me showing up late to the studio. It's kind of a weird conglomeration of stuff, particularly that Kings of Leon song. They played "Charmer" when they played Pop's last year and it had the same weird yelping stuff on it. Don't know how I forgot this point, but it certainly surprised me when I started playing it. That Waking Ashland CD is pretty good....kind of like Ben Folds without the snarky sense of humor.

Download the E show, part 1. I wasn't sure if I'd split the E's in half or not, but I decided I'd go for it in order to play some bands I probably wouldn't ever play otherwise. Turned out to be a VERY good decision. The songs by Eames Era (who I had never heard before) and Eisley fit very well into the set, and I got to get a little crazy by slipping in "Gay Bar." Everyone should download this set if for no other reason than Electronic's downright AMAZING song "For You" (Electronic features Bernard Sumner, the singer of New Order, and Johnny Marr, the guitar player of the Smiths, so obviously you should like it or you have no taste). I was tempted to play a couple more ELO songs ("So Fine" and "Evil Woman," for those who were wondering) but decided to give some new bands (Ela, the Eaves) a try. Glad I did.
