Played two tracks off of the excellent New Haven compilation, Nobody Knows This Is Somewhere, during the first hour. Plus, live music from Teenage Jesus & The Jerk, Rhys Chatham, and the Velvet Underground, and archival Mars. During the second hour, we celebrated the 10th birthday of Yellow Swans’ Going Places and the the Psychic and Powerless debut of Matana Roberts and William Hooker. I remember sitting on my bed in my old apartment in 2011 or ’12, smoking that weird synthetic marijuana that was still semi-legal back then, and listening to Going Places for the first time. What a ride.
