What I talked about:
- This Will Destroy You's upcoming album Tunnel Blanket. It is due out in May. This Will Destroy You have stated in interviews that they are kind of tired being lumped up with other 3rd generation post rock bands - especially Explosions in the Sky (and I can't necessarily blame them) - so they have decided that the new album will have more of a sound described as Doomgaze, as opposed to Post Rock. Think about Jesu and Boris, if you want a cross-reference for what doomgaze sounds like. I am somewhat nervous for this, because TWDY is probably my favorite third generation post rock band, but I feel assured that it will be good.
- I thanked everyone for listening! And I thanked Kirk for recommending Memoryhouse to me.
- Happy birthday Isabel!!
- Mogwai's Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will came out this year. I talked about how Mogwai is in kind of a bizarre situation because their debut album Young Team was one of the major catalysts for starting 2nd generation post rock. 3rd generation post rock is so derived from 2nd gen, and yet Mogwai's career is still moving along. So essentially, they are making music in a genre that exists in the shadow that Mogwai created themselves. It is somewhat bizarre in my opinion.
- Everyone should listen to Chelsea's show Revolution Summer, Thursdays from 7 to 9 PM. She was my mentor in the process of getting a show, and her show is very good!
