Nirvana - Live at Reading

This week on the show I featured a song off of Nirvana's newest album, Live at Reading. It's actually a DVD/CD combo that showcases their performance at the UK's 1992 Reading Festival. The show is phenomenal, with all 3 members performing at the peak of their careers with Nirvana. The sound on this recording is amazing and the DVD is a must watch. as much as I dislike the idea of this, the Live at Reading concert is a must have for anyone who enjoyed Nirvana's music.

Happy Birthday Neil Young

Neil Young turned 64 last Thursday and I was very happy to celebrate it by sponsoring a day of programming on KMSU featuring his music. Thanks to all the DJs that participated in the event, thanks to Shelley for letting me sit in with her on Shuffle Function, and a big thanks to Neil, for all the incredible music he has given us over the years.

here's a little taste...

Possibly the greatest Alt-Country band of all time

Drag the River has been around for a while now, and their music is a bad ass as ever. They have a new "collection" CD (don't dare call it greatest hits) coming out to help them spread their music around Europe this winter. It's called Primer and it's not a bad intro to the band. Purchase it by heading over to www.suburbanhomerecords.com and be sure to check out Chad and Jon's solo albums as well...

In the mean time, Live at the Starlight is out of print! copies on ebay are going for 30-100$ which is rediculous. http://www.suburbanhomerecords.com/starlight/ is the place to get this ablum for free. Thanks guys!

All Saints Day is a holy day of obligation in the Catholic church and it conveniently falls on a Sunday this year, so no extra trip to church necessary. When I think of a band that goes well with Sainthood, Lucero is the one. If you were unable to attend a service or the Lucero show at the Varsity last week, the show this week was a great substitute. Many thanks to Mr. Jason Kuehl for recording the show and not getting to play any of the music he brought.
