"Unfortunately" I don't think I'm going to be able to have my show tonight b/c I'm going to see the Avett Brothers at Higher Ground. Should be a great show. I may hop in the studio for a bit before the show, but I don't think I'll have time.
Anywho, check back next week as the show will definitely be on. And I'll probably pretty good and inspired by the Newport Folk Fest that I'm attending this weekend. Here are the bands that I'm most excited to see:
Steve Earle and Allison Moorer
She & Him
Jim James
Son Volt
Calexico
Gillian Welch
Levon Helm
I'm also really looking forward to checking out a lot of the artists on the schedule that I don't know about yet.
Can any of you out in internet land recommend any of the other artists on the schedule?

Caught on the In Between playlist - 07-22-08
So I just finished my show and rode my bike home from the station in the pouring rain. It's about a 2.5 mile ride and I got soaked, but luckily my iPod and laptop were tucked safely in plastic bags in my backpack. As I was riding across the bridge into Winooski, I got totally drenched by a car driving by. I swear the guy swerved into the puddle just to cover me. My immediate reflex was to flick him off. But then I started laughing b/c it's pretty funny and I would have done the same thing. Unless it was an old grandma or something.
The show was different tonight. My brothers and Rufer called in to let me know that they couldn't hear it over the internet. I wasn't quite sure it was broadcasting out over the radio locally as well, so I wasn't sure if anyone could hear me or not. When I got home, I flipped on the radio and it was coming through, but it's still not coming through over the internet. Bummer.
This week I continued the format I started last week--I featured two bands and jumped into them pretty deeply, playing multiple songs by each. In between, I played a couple tunes by other bands.
I started off the show with a track called The Hearse by Untamed Youth. They are fronted by surf/rockabilly/honky tonk guitar maestro Deke Dickerson who has put out a ton of stuff on his own and with Untamed Youth. The Youth have great surf rock songs and they have some great album artwork that really captures the energy of surf rock.
The first of my two featured bands was Australia's The Drones. They're a rock 'n' roll, gritty blues, menacing electric folk band who write and play sincere, unique, and genius sparse-beginning songs that build to a climactic explosion of passion and speaker splitting rage. They are fronted by Gareth Liddiard who sings in a voice that I'm sure my mom doesn't consider singing. His emotion and Aussie accent pour out in his lyrics and the raw energy of the band hits hard at all jagged angles. I don't remember how I stumbled upon them, but I was looking around the internet a couple years ago and somehow came across the video for "Shark Fin Blues". The riff and the melody Liddiard sang over the top, coupled with the tenacity of the live footage in the video, captivated me. I was hooked. I watched it multiple times in a row. If you've never heard The Drones, the song "Shark Fin Blues" is the perfect place to start. I had trouble finding their stuff around any local record shops, but I eventually got the album that the song is on -- Wait Long By The River And The Bodies Of Your Enemies Will Float By. Then I picked up their live album from Spaceland out in LA and finally their latest, Gala Mill. I saw them live in Montreal last year and was completely blown away. It was amazing. If you ever have a chance to see them live, don't think twice--just go to the show. You will not be disappointed. Tonight we heard three songs by them, the first being I Don't Ever Want To Change off of Gala Mill. It's an excellent high energy, rock song with a great guitar line in it at the 2:09 mark. Next song we heard was This Time off of Wait Long...and the final song was Dog Eared which is a tune off of Gala Mill, but the version I played was from their live Spaceland album.
After The Drones set, we heard a couple songs to cleanse the palate between the next featured band. Starting off was a tune off of the Fleet Foxes excellent new self titled album called White Winter Hymnal. They're a band that employ Beach Boys-esque harmonies and do it well. Next up was Liam Finn, an artist off of the excellent and multi-genre label, Yep Roc out of North Carolina. Yep Roc is a great label that makes an effort to not pigeon hole itself into one genre, but instead focuses on excellent artists/bands regardless of genre. They have an incredibly consistent, yet genre jumping line-up of bands, from Billy Bragg to Marah to Radio Birdman to Caitlin Cary, and are one of my favorite go-to labels. Growing up, in order to find new bands, I would search record stores for anything on Dischord records. Now, I've widened my "discover new bands" search criteria a bit to include Yep Roc, Bloodshot, New West, and Matador. And, of course, always Dischord. Finn, like The Drones, is also from the land down under and he the son of a guy from Crowded House. The song we heard was Second Chance off of his album I'll Be Lightning. It's an awesome song and a great introduction to this great album. We ended this mid-section set with the unbeatable Fugazi, with a tune off of The Arguument called Nightshop. I could go on and on about Fugazi, so I won't even start.
The next featured band was the Philly inspired, surprisingly Brooklyn based, Marah. I say surprisingly, b/c they love and sing so much about Philly, I'm surprised they still don't live there. They are an incredible, incredible band and I'm shocked, but selfishly happy, that they're not bigger and more known than they are. They are raw, blue collar type rock 'n' rollers who embody early Bruce Springsteen and sing about the grittiness of the streets and booze inflicted city wanderings. Their close associations with author Nick Hornby are pretty interesting to me. He wrote the books High Fidelity and About A Boy, among others, and always seems to feature music in his books--especially in High Fidelity. Most of us know this from the excellent John Cusack flick of the same name in which the title character creates endless top 5 lists of music, girls, etc. There are some great music references in the movie and I'm excited to read the book to see how similar it is or if there are other musical references in it that were left out of the movie. Hornby is really inspired by Marah and in a top 10 list of his own, he listed their song My Heart Is The Bums On The Street as #3 on his of 10 songs he can't live without. They were also in his "Top 5 Gigs Of All Time" list alongside The Who, The Clash, The Boss, and Southside Johnny and Dave Edmunds. That's some great company to be listed with. Hornby has traveled with Marah in the past and joins them on stage to read some of his music essays about various artists. Once he's finished, Marah will take the stage and play songs by that artist. Hornby has also written some Marah essays and he has read them on stage to open up the Marah set. I'd love to be able to see that. I would love to just be able to see Marah. We need more bands to come way up here to ol' VT. Tonight we heard five Marah songs off of four of their albums. First up was the first song of theirs that I ever heard--The Closer off of If You Didn't Laugh, You'd Cry. This album is a great introduction to Marah as I think it's a full, top to bottom, excellent album. Next up we heard a couple tunes off of Kids In Philly (on Steve Earle's label E Squared) called Point Breeze and the Nick Hornby fav My Heart Is The Bums On the Street. Next tune came from their first album, Let's Cut The Crap And Hook Up Later On Tonight, called Formula, Cola, Dollar Draft and we finished the set with East off of 20,000 Streets Under The Sky.
That took us all the way to about the end of the show. I ended the show with the live version of Plenty For All by the Hot Snakes off of their Australia recorded live album, Thunder Down Under. So I guess I unintentionally had an Australia theme to tonight's show.
Here's the setlist. Thanks for listening. Check out the show next week--hopefully the internet will work.

2. I Don't Ever Want To Change -- The Drones -- Gala Mill

Caught on the In Between playlist - 07-15-08
I had a blast on the show tonight. I had some Hold Steady cued up at the start of my playlist b/c their newest (4th) album, Stay Positive, was released today. At lunch I went downtown to 1.) get the new album; and 2.) get a free burrito at Boloco! Boloco just opened up here last Friday and it is so good! It's a chain and I'd had it once before in Boston. This town was in desperate need of a good burrito shop--we have Moe's which really isn't that bad, but it doesn't blow me away. Their beans have a funky taste and it's up by Higher Ground, so it's not walking distance from downtown. I had incredibly high hopes for Bueno Y Sano, but they just haven't done it for me. Their burritos are more like cannonballs than tasty logs and there's no spicy flavor to them. I did, however, just get some chicken tacos there the other night that were great. But still, between the two, there was something lacking. Boloco has filled that void for me. And they filled it twice today. And it didn't cost me a cent.
So getting back to the music, after lunch I went over to Pure Pop to scoop the new Hold Steady, but unfortunately it wasn't in yet. Back to work I went and spreadsheeted my ass off until about 7ish and then headed back downtown. First to burritotown and then to Pure Pop, but the album still wasn't in. I'll just have to wait until tomorrow.
I had a blast doing the show tonight and felt really good about it. I played some solid music that I have really been into hard lately. The Hold Steady and Steve Earle have really been all I've played over the past month or so. I can't get enough of Steve Earle. I have his albums Transcendental Blues, The Revolution Starts Now, and I just picked up his first, Guitar Town, this weekend. He has a ton more, so I'm just at the tip of a very awesome iceberg.
I received a mix from New Guy Chris, by way of my little brother, the other day and on it were some more great tunes that got me going in the Bloodshot Records direction. Scott H. Biram really stood out as did Trailer Bride. Bloodshot is full of great artists and bands and one in particular has hit me hard the last couple days. Justin Townes Earle -- son of Steve, and named after Mr. Townes Van Zandt, is a young singer/guitarist who writes and sings in the style of Hank 1 and other old time honky tonk guys.
I played a couple local guys too. Lowell Thompson is a singer/songwriter around here whose self-declared influences mirror all of my favorite bands--Gram Parsons, Wilco, Fugazi, The Beach Boys, Dick Dale, Lucinda Williams, Whiskeytown, Bruce Springsteen, etc. I bet our music collections are nearly identical. He's an awesome singer and I need to get out and see and support him more around town. I started off the show with the usual surfrock/instrumental tune, this time by local crew Barbacoa. This was the very first band I saw when I moved to Burlington. It's fronted by guitar wiz Bill Mullins, who was kind enough to send me their album for free--thanks Bill!--and I saw him out playing with Lowell once, so I bought him a beer to thank him.
Finally, I ended the show with a song by Paul Westerberg, who I incorrectly said was in the Pretenders, but who was really in the Replacements. I couldn't remember which one it was for some reason, and the mic is like a spotlight, so I just blurted out one and it ended up being wrong. I finished the show with a tune by Fast Piece Of Furniture out of Toledo (beat laid down by none other than Jeff Nelson of Minor Threat/Dischord) called "Pictures Of You And Me".
All in all, I was very pleased with the show. My lil' bro, Jason, was recording it, so we'll see how it sounds tomorrow. Thanks for listening, here's the playlist.

2. The Hold Steady - Positive Jam - Almost Killed Me

Radiator Show #1
I just started a radio show on the Radiator (105.9 -- WOMM-LP) in Burlington. It's a low-frequency, commercial free station run by Big Heavy Jim, Sean Larock, and Lee Anderson from the Radio Bean. It's an incredible set up and I'm so happy to be a part of the team there. I'll be posting my set lists here every week and have ambitions to post podcasts of my shows in case people miss them live and would like to hear them. I'd love (if I get the energy) to continue to expand this blog to include music reviews, upcoming releases/shows, and just general music talk. It would be great to get some mp3's up here as well, but I'll have to up my technological know-how in order to pull this off. In the meantime, I'll just ramble and post my weekly show playlists and ramble some more.
My show is every Tuesday from 9-10pm and the show is also called Caught on the In Between. The name comes from a song by my high school band Donna Martin Graduates. But I think it also sums up my musical tastes--I like all kinds of different music from all kinds of different places.
My first show was on 6/24 and here is my playlist (Artist, Song, Album):
1. Generation X - Ready, Steady, Go - Generation X
2. Fast Piece of Furniture - Miles From Nowhere - Adventures In Contentment
3. Whiskeytown - Yesterday's News - Strangers Almanac
4. Catfish Haven - Still Hungover - Please Come Back
5. Daedelus - Aplomb - Invention
6. Them - Here Comes The Night - The Story of Them
7. Marah - Faraway You - Kids in Philly
8. The Night Marchers - I Wanna Deadbeat You - See You In Magic
9. The Sentinels - Latin Soul - The Mighty Rufer's Surfrock Extravaganza
10. Calexico - Across The Wire - Feast Of Wire
11. DeVotchka - Undone - A Mad And Faithful Telling
12. She and Him - Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? - Volume One
13. Lowell Thompson Band - Is It Really That Easy - Live at Metronome 12/15/06
14. Noir Desir (feat. Manu Chao) - Le Vent Nous Portera - Des Visages Des Figures
15. Josh Small - Moses - Tall By Josh Small
16. The Clash - The Card Cheat - Clash On Broadway (disc 2)
