I didn't get any requests except for a joking "Can you play 'Trapped In The Closet'?" call from one of my friends. But I did get a couple of who-is-this calls during Four Tet (playing tonight at 506, aw yeah) and Hudson Bell. I was psyched that someone wanted to know more about the Hudson Bell track, Hudson's actually a good buddy of mine from my San Francisco days. His forthcoming album When The Sun Is The Moon was even recorded/engineered by my main man Chris Palmatier. Palmatier's longtime Brian and Chris collaborator Brian Fraser (formerly of Chapel Hill's Tractor Hips) plays drums on the record, too. When The Sun Is The Moon comes out October 11th on Monitor Records, so check it out if you dig well-written rock songs full of earnest hooks and guitar-pedal goodness.

Hey fool,
You shoulda given advance warning...I would've tried to listen.

How was the Four Tet show? It was cool seeing everyone Friday night, but my lungs couldn't do 506 two nights in a row.

Four Tet was pretty great once again.....maybe the album should've been called EveryONE Ecstatic, 'cause there was lots of happy hootin' and hollerin', way more than I expected for a guy standing on stage with a laptop. A friend told me there was a significant Boone, NC contingent at the show, for what that's worth....not the usual number of familiar Chapel Hill faces, either.
I really dig Afrodisiac Sound System, I brought that 12-inch in from home. It's basically some Los Angeles hip-hop/party deejays who are really big on Fela Kuti and other Afrobeat-type grooves. They did a series of Fela-based mashup/blend records and this is their first "original" recording. Here's more info:

You can't play with my Yo-Yo!
