Technically speaking, I’m “off” this week, I was still in the studio, providing you with what you need. Live tracks from the Gunn-Truscinski Duo, Mars, The Clean, Wolf Eyes, Grateful Dead, and Loren Connors & Jim O’Rourke as well as some different takes on hardcore from Minor Threat, Circus Lupus, and Harry Pussy. Later in the show I played a track from the Weeping Bong Band, I strongly recommend this record, and it’s out now on Feeding Tube Records. One more show before school starts, so make sure you’re getting all your pencils sharpened for the big day.
P.S. Planning a survey of artists’ bootlegs that’ll span a month or two, two songs a night for four or eight weeks. Does this sound like something y’all would be interested in? Hit me up on twitter at @TuffGnarl and let me know what you think.
