If you're looking to kick off next week with a great time and good folks, check out this upcoming show. It'll be an all acoustic good time and it's being held this coming Sunday, March 9 at the old Powerhouse right here in Pocatello. The aptly named World History writes and sings songs about, well, world history. If you visit here with any regularity, you've most likely heard of Pocatello's own A. W. Feldt .

Firstly, there was no post yesterday because we played an archived edition of the show, and secondly, our interview with the Salt Lake City, Utah band The Future of the Ghost fell through as their show at the First National Bar this evening was cancelled.

We are saddened that the band won't be playing tonight; nonetheless, we look forward to them stopping by Pocatello in May. Onward we go...today's show is a mix of mostly new music with a couple of older [...]
Apples In Stereo In light of this being a really sluggish week for new releases, today's program is an assemblage of old and new music alike.

The new track is from psychedelic indie popsters Sunny Day Sets Fire . One last thing for you all: tune in this coming Friday, February 29 to [...]

Sharin Foo & Sune Rose Wagner (Raveonettes) With the exception of last week, and maybe the former half of January, 2008 has been a great year for new releases. We've seen (among other things) excellent releases from Vampire Weekend, The Evangelicals, Thao With The Get Down Stay Down and The Magnetic Fields. That said, another new release day is upon us, and it's certainly not a disappointment. We hear cuts off of new albums out today by the Danish duo The Raveonettes , Flowers Forever (featuring Derek Presnall of Tilly and the Wall), The Mountain [...]
Welcome to the new week and a new episode of Beat City. If you haven't found out yet, today is President's Day, a holiday that (like many other national holidays) once had a meaning, but now is just an excuse for capitalists to host gigantic and grotesque sales. In light of that, we'll be spinning tracks that include anti-establishment, war, protest, social unrest and political themes. We'll hear a variety of genres and a mixture of old and new bands alike. Hopefully these cuts will get your gears grinding a bit. Enjoy the show and the rest of the day. [...]

Don't be sad, though, because we'll return with a brand-spankin' new show on Monday. Until then, enjoy the bonus video. Vampire Weekend: A-Punk
Today's show is a Valentine's Day special of sorts. Whether you have a special someone or think that love is a load of shite, there should be something you'll enjoy on this playlist. Some of the tracks are cutesy, some are silly, others are revealing, and even a couple of pessimistic numbers are included. So grab your sweetie (or your bottle of liquor) and settle down for an hour of tunes chock full of tenderness, passion, lust, disgust, pain, and redemption.
