Katharsis August 11 '08

Recording here

When preparing for my show I usually have a rough idea of what I want to play but I'm usually throwing stuff together on the fly and trying to incorporate last-minute discoveries (there's always ~500+ recently or yet-to-be-released cd's in the dj booth). I usually have plenty of great new tracks that I've stumbled across throughout the week on my own. As often happens when I intend to take things in one direction I often end up going in a completely different direction. I had brought a bunch of new experimental electronic and minimalist classical music but this show ended up being mostly guitar-based mellow pop and rock. At the 11:30 mark, I thought I might change tack but it didn't really pan out. This spontaneity keeps things interesting for me at least. We ended up with: Palodine, Woven Hand, Lucid 44, Heaven And, The Walkmen, Bodies of Water, Sam Phillips, Voice of the Seven Woods, Clinton St. John, Lotte Kestner, Kris Delmhorst, Lownote, Snailhouse, The Middle East, The Neighborhood Council, Machinefabriek, Gianna Lauren, Julie Doiron, Lonely Hunters, Smog, Harris Newman, A Lily, Azeda Booth, Jesu Tagaq, & The Green Kingdom.
