Oh man, last night was a great show with a top-notch
line-up:
Christmas Island [San Diego]
Graffiti Island [UK]
Pens [UK]
the Crocodiles [San Diego]
and the Ganglians [Sacramento - go Cap City!].
Here's a video we took of the Crocodiles performing "Summer of
Hate"
There's more where that came from!

Public radio is all about furthering education for curious
individuals.
Hey, what could be MORE educational than the
dictionary?
Welcome to the first entry in the Off Air
Codex Compendium™.
Sad Cabin
Music
n. sād. cāb-in. mew-sik
1) music recorded in such a
way as to evoke feelings of intense introspection.
Best suited for a rainy
Sunday afternoon, whilst peering longingly out of a cabin
window
in the woods.
2) music marketed as
important to create a sense of mystique around otherwise
banal subject matter. [i.e.
pondering, canoeing, nature walks, transcendentalism]
"Hey, did you get the new Iron and Wine
album?"
"Nah, that's sad cabin
music."
"I just finished the new Grizzly Bear
record."
"What did you
think?"
"I think I kinda like that sad
cabin music . . . sorta."

definitions so that we may archive them

The Fader recently featured this nice little tid bit:
Test your remixing chops! YACHT has released
instrumentals
from their latest album so that anyone, including YOU, can
download
and remix them however you please on your computer devices.
We're going to try it out and will make sure to our post our
success
to News with a "Z" in the next few weeks.
Until then . . .
Go Forth and
REMIX!
