First thing: my co-DJ Luke had this to offer last week, when I couldn't make it in to the show:

Calexico - Corona
Kronos Quartet - Mini Skirt
Cat Power - Free You Are Free
Deerhoof - Milkman Milk Man
Dub Narcotic Sound System - Sounds Narcotic
Broken Social Scene - KC Accidental You Forgot It In People
Clem Snide - Made for TV Movie
Tegan and Sarah - You Wouldn't Like Me So Jealous
Marianne Faithfull - Crazy Love Before the Poison
Johnny Cash - Jesus Was a Carpenter
Greg Brown - I Still Miss
Michael Bloomfield - Death Cell Rounder Blues
Carey and Laurie Bell - Trouble In My Way
Loretta Lynn - High On a Mountaintop
Dave Alvin - Rio Grande
Mason South - Room With a View
Iron and Wine - Jezebel
M. Ward - Hi Fi Transistor Radio
Sufjan Stevens - All the Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands Seven Swans
Mountain Goats - Game Shows Touch Our Lives Tallahassee
Andrew Bird - Fake Palindromes Andrew Bird and the Mysterious Production of Eggs
Grandaddy - Now It's On Sumday
Drive By Truckers - Sands of Iwo Jima
Devandra Banhart - Wake Up Little Sparrow
Sergeant Garcia - Revoluçion
The Public - The Initiative
Low - California The Great Destroyer
Professor Longhair - Jambalaya
Pierce Woodward - Leave No Millionaire Behind

As you might can tell, Luke hews a bit closer to the Americana end of things than I do, but it's a good blend. This morning's show was a pretty good one, with plenty of ambient drone to start things off, including the new Greg Davis record (soon to come - full of hottness) and, as promised, Stars of the Lid.

Stars of the Lid - Fac 21

Possibly a reference to the Durutti Column patch of the same Factory Records catalog number, or the FACUS 21 factory patch, or possibly to something I could never understand - this track is, like all SotL tracks, something I feel a little bit uncomfortable taking out of context. Of course, it's not a good idea to post 10 minutes worth of any track online, but the shorter tracks are best enjoyed as part of the cohesive wholes of each disc of this record, The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid. On the other hand, you do get an idea of what you're after, if not the sheer power of the record.

Order here. It's Krank050 at the very top of the page.
