New releases for November 27? No. It's going to be a slow remainder of the year for new releases, so we needed to come up with some creative ideas for the next few episodes.

Listen to find out.

Festival City Radio - Absentee Episode

Tue, 21 Mar 2006 07:41:00 GMT

Tom and Jeremy went to SXSW this past week, slept (somtimes) in a little hotel room (Jeremy on the floor, Tom's a dick), ate (sometimes) at restaurants every day, and saw many, many bands (many of whom were technically within walking distance of each other), and because of the weather spent just over ten hours in the car driving home. No, don't feel sorry for us, because it was truly a privelege, right down to sharing dinner at a thai restaraunt with Student Film while they were in town (even though the restaraunt ripped Jeremy off for extra tea), because we saw in 4 days what can take months to see in terms of live music quantity, and can sometimes require multiple trips out of town in terms of live music quality. In short, we're exhausted, but satisfied, and while happy, we've decided to take a break from podcasting this week. We'd hate to leave you with nothing, though, we who have had so much recently, so we decided to put together a little sampler of bands that we saw at SXSW, not at all meaning to be sadistic, in order that you might hear what we did and you didn't. This little sample is by no means representitive of the crazy fucking massive amount of live music that was available in Austin this last week. We were obliged to chose what we wanted to see by what we could get into based on capcity, location, time constraints; SXSW is truly a sight to behold.

Jeremy saw about ten times as many bands as Tom, and this is because he is of greater stamina. Here are a mere fraction of the ones he saw, including Belle and Sebastian, Blackalicious, Frog Eyes, Spoon, And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Devotchka, Wolfmother, Phosphorescent, The New Pornographers, and Mogwai.

Tom saw fewer bands, but swears he had as good a time as anyone, and probably slept more. Tom saw excellent performances from Parts and Labor, Lance Hahn of J Church, Billy Bragg, Shellshag, Lifetime, and a couple of others.

Check back again next Monday for Episode 16, which I am certain will be a kick ass preview of upcoming albums and shows, as usual.

Happy SXSW.

Holy crap, is this one long mutha! Don't think we're going to be doing this ever again. Too much work! Screw two-hour episodes. It's going to be less-than-an-hour from here on out, with exceptions of course.

We've got more new releases than you can shake an ugly stick at. Stuff from Baron Zen, Centro-Matic, The Czars, Devics, Dogme 95, Figurines, Half-Handed Cloud, I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, The Inklings, The Lawrence Arms, Mogwai, Mudhoney, Neko Case, The Ocean, Paul Flaherty & Chris Corsano, Pink Mountaintops, The Rogers Sisters, Some By Sea, and Stereolab

Then, as always, we give you an extensive live music preview, with tracks from The Heavenly States, The Eagles of Death Metal, Brief Candles, Thunderbirds are Now!, Band of Horses, Russian Circles, and Mazarin.

And we have a request! A fan came by Guestroom and requested a song from the new Robert Pollard album, to share it's greatness with all of our listners. Kudos to him!

This is the evil episode 11, the unluckiest number on the internet, of course corresponding with that the most terrifying of all holidays, Valentine's Day. Come, ye ghouls and goblins, for this bag be full of treats, not tricks. While avoiding the spirits that haunt you this V-Day, enjoy some songs by Black Wire, Magnet, National Eye, Sing Sing, and The Sword, who all have albums coming out on this accursed holiday.

There are also some fiendishly good shows coming up this week, and you'll hear from some of those groups, like Skeleton Key, Voxtrot, and Shapes and Sizes; along with others that you can hear on previous episodes.

Also don't forget Jeremy's Karaoke Birthday party, which should be a real scream.

We have another installment of the trivia, hoping for someone to guess this one, as well as some spine-tingling listener mail, which we answer, and for which we hope to hear from you, dear listener, if you dare.

Lastly, we hear from Washington natives Love Doll Swingers, who will delight you with savage taunts. A howling good episode.

Festival City Radio - Episode 09

festivalcityradio@gmail.com — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 16:58:00 GMT

Episode 9 is a landmark for precious Tom and Jeremy: not only the longest yet, but their first band interview to boot! Nerves abounded, but beer and bro-down economics overcame. The result... well, you be the judge! We think it's fantastic. Major thanks to Student Film for enduring an hour of grilling (not the good kind of grilling). We've got a few songs from them plus a song from King Kong and one from Ilya, whom Student Film will be opening for on Friday, February 3.

Also this episode is a song from the Octopus Project, who are playing in Norman on Saturday, February 4.

Plus, we got a request for the Guillemots to which we happily complied.

Enjoy!

This is our 4th episode. A bit of a folly, to be quite silly about it all. Truth is, it's our favorite to date, but it's really a lead up to this Friday's episode, which will be like 45 minutes of the least boring shit yet.

Thanks for listening!

The episode is way new goodness (not yet released!) from Ester Drang and Rocky Votolato, as well as some great tracks from 2005 albums by Jeff Hanson, Sufjan Stevens, and Smog.
