For me, in comparison to last year’s event, this year’s occasion for hipsters to roast in the sun (the aforementioned festival) was underwhelming. Were it not for surprisingly good sets by Diplo, Glenn Kotche, the Chicago Underground Duo, Os Mutantes, Yo La Tengo, Destroyer and Aesop Rock & Mr. Lif (the first three of which were in the small tent), I might have come away wanting my weekend back (for the record, I missed Jens Lekman). I haven’t yet gotten my hands on the latest recordings by the acts I really dug at the festival, so expect to hear more from them in the coming weeks. On this episode only one group from the festival is included: Mission of Burma. I joked to one of the guys in the small party that I hung with for both days that MoB’s spirited performance provided inspiration for middle-aged punks everywhere. Then again, Yo La Tengo’s did the same for aging “alternakids.”
As for the rest of this morning’s show, what can I say that I haven’t said already about previous episodes? If I were to point out how strangely effective following Kris Kristofferson with P.J. Harvey was, you would recognize the conceit. The same would be true if I observed that the choice of tracks by Kristofferson, Curve, the 19.5 Collective, Iris DeMent, Big Star and Morsel was the result of my getting reacquainted with my home CD library. There is one new thing I can say: next week will feature a lot of great new stuff (that is if all of the deliveries make it to my apartment by next Monday). Stay tuned....
