We return to normal programming this week with several new tracks from the New Pornographers latest on Merge Records. We also preview the Sadies visit to Troy, NY’s Hangar on the Hudson venue where they will kick off their spring tour on Friday, all mixed up with the usual musical bits and baubles. 

Side A Howling at the Moon-Hank Williams Pontius Pilate’s Home Movies-New Pornographers Angelcover-New Pornographers Firework in the Falling Snow-New Pornographers Crimson Tide-Destroyer Raleigh Days-Archers of Loaf I’m Going to Live Forever (if it kills me)-William Tyler & Impossible Truth

I took the plunge and signed up for Yep Roc Records “Plus” subscription offer this year with the vinyl option, partially on the basis of looking forward to this record from the Sadies. And while it is bittersweet listening knowing that founding member Dallas Good tragically passed this winter, it is also a damn fine record! So we feature it on tonight’s episode along with another new release from Yep Roc from Jonah Tolchin. We also delve into a recently reissue from the Dream Syndicate. Their final album for A&M Records, “Out of the Grey” has gotten remastered and a whole slew of extras included in a 3 disc set. So lots of cool music for a hot steamy summer evening!
