Sorry for not fading out the Soft Machine sooner (yikes!) Here's the show recording in mp3 and ogg.

The show actually started with one of my favourite Mount Eerie tracks, “Wooly Mammoth's Absence” from Seven New Songs, after which I was graced with a special treat: a live phone interview with Mr. Mount Eerie (Phil Elverum). The Anacortes, Washington based artist discussed his upcoming Sled Island appearance (w/ Woodpigeon June 25 @ Central United Church), his annual Anacortes-themed What the Heck Fest, the Anacortes arts-hub The Department of Safety, running his creative proprietorship (P.W. Elverum & Sun), and touched on the idea of digital music versus tangible physical works of art. Thanks to Phil and to BeatRoute for facilitating the interview.

The rest of the music (after the interview): Mount Eerie (w/ Julie Doiron and Fred Squire), Mount Eerie, (Sorry if I led anyone astray, our concert calender on the cjsw web site was wrong: In addition to the Flemish Eye Ball, Julie Doiron is scheduled to play Broken City on June 11, NOT May 11. Hopefully my mistaken direction to hurry down to the show did not lead to disappointment), No Kids, Hanne Hukkelberg, Jason Lytle, Pale Air Singers, Jordan Klassen, Tara Jane O'Neil, Benoît Pioulard, James Blackshaw, Jon Hopkins, Lhasa, Patrick Watson, Flying Change, Headless Heroes, and Riceboy Sleeps.
