Friday's Free Feature: Silver Jews on WFMU 9/8/2008

Friday's Free Feature: Silver Jews on WFMU 9/8/2008 Today's Friday Free Feature is inspired by a "brain itch" or a song I can't get out of my head.

Whatever you want to call it, Silver Jews ' "Random Rules" is rattling in the old noggin' and I have my dear friend and Dadada collaborator, Craig (aka C.L. Cucumber) to thank.

Friday's Free Feature: Brut Choir – "Barest Bones"

Friday's Free Feature: Brut Choir – "Barest Bones" Everett Hagen and Jimmy Spice are Brut Choir . The duo from Little Rock released Barest Bones just over a year ago. This is a " Postal Service " style recording, where the two passed tracks back and forth in recording sessions. Its dark ambience is peppered with noisy guitar drone, haunting vocals, cold synth, and drum loops. The result is a perfect tonic for curing your "morning after a late night" blues (at least that's how I feel this morning). Check out: "Barest Bones" [...]
