Nothing this week. Sometimes, they really do have it all.
Description
Among the highlights of this week's show:
The pulsating, chanting outro (which I have chosen to use as an intro) to the most recent album by neo-Krautrock outfit Die Wilde Jagd, which is one of those Built To Spill/NIN/Smashing Pumpkins-type bands where it's technically just the work of one dude.
Some more Kraut-ish type rock (it reminds me more of Krauty Swedes Harvester than any German Krautrock band) from Michiganders (one of my favorite state demonyms) Dire Wolves.
That VU/JAMC/BRMC-ish sunglasses rock that I can never say no to, from Germans Pretty Lightning. It has a distinct Southern-rock twang to it, however, that makes it sound a bit like Cosmo's Factory played at 16 rpm.
Plus, the latest from seminal dronesmiths Windy & Carl, more world music-influenced guitar picking from Portland's own Sir Richard Bishop, and the dark, new-wavey shoegaze of This Is Nowhere (who everybody knows, at least according to Neil Young).
