Ok- not a full podcast, but a new one is coming soon. This song is the first leak from the upcoming Spoon album “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga”. It’s called The Ghost of You Lingers.
Medeski & Martin’s Mago
I’ve been totally out of the MMW loop for the past several years, but every once and a while, I’ll sit down and crank up some Tonic or Notes from the Underground. I guess they put out a few new albums (“End of the World Party” and “Out Louder”, a second album with hippie magnet John Scofield). So, it appears that Medeski (p) and Martin (d) have put out a new album- or it is coming out soon. Here’s a link to a video from it, kinda reminiscent of Combustication.
Speaking of Tonic…did you know it was closing? Sad story. I’m glad I got to check it out while I could.

welcome to episode v.
1. i am bones – the ostrich approach
-i got this from some other blog a while back and liked it. maybe it’s not as good as i originally thought, but it was interesting.
2. John Vanderslice – trance manual remix
-JV’s website has a full album of remixes from his last album, Pixel Revolt. You can download the whole thing for free.
3. M. Ward – Duet for Guitars #2
-remember when I said I was going to push M. Ward on you, reader, until you fold? Here are a couple tracks from him. He’s playing 2 dats in june with the boston symphony orchestra, and I wish i could go. it would be amazing.
4. M. Ward – One Life Away
-seriously, if god wrote songs…
5. Parts & Labor – Fractured Skies
-woot! stole it from music.for-robots.com
6. Pavement – Range Life
-with all the talk of the new Smashing Pumpkins, it reminded be that they just don’t have no function.
7. Ted Leo/RX – Parallel or Together?
-I’ve listened to the new album a few times, and it really makes me wish ted leo still sounded like this.
8. Voxtrot – Stephen
-a song that quickly caught my ear on the voxtrot full length. Unfortunately not as good as their first 2 EPs.
