last three songs:

new song from the National
new song from Nick Cave
Swans

yup, totally boring.

Savages on KEXP at 4:30.

P.S. I just logged a bit of time with KEXP. Talk about boring indie rock by numbers programming. Enjoyed the few Savages tracks I have heard, though.

That list is only 2/3 boring (in my opinion, i know everyone has different TASTES). 
(swans being the exception)

I like Nick Cave, too. Still all perfectly indie rock station acceptable bands.
Next three: Deerhunter, Parquet Courts, Grizzly Bear.

None of their DJ's will ever play a Killsaly track on a whim, for instance.

I'll take all 6, thanks. Not a huge Deerhunter or Grizzly Bear fan.  I've never actually heard Swans on the radio.

To each their own.

[azaghal1981]

I am a fan of most of those bands too but there is just little variety there.

Back on topic, New Order on Kimmel.

what's the verdict on a band member wearing his own band's t-shirt during a performance?

I think when you get so old that people might not recognize you, it's a great way to make sure the photos need no caption.  But you'd better wear an old school one, not the one you're hawking at the Merch Table.

?Borrowed? it from the groupie they woke up next too
Swapped shirts with a groupie by accident
Laundry Day
Accident in the dressing room
Road manager forgot a bag along the way
Nothing spoke to the artist at the vintage shop

[Jaguar]

^ That about covers it all.

Little Sonic Youth, Twitter and SNL weirdness.

Could it be? Did they make up and are they going to replace Kanye after his meltdown?
Is Kim Gordon playing with Kanye?
Will Kim and Thurston hash things out on a "very special" episode of Saturday Night Live?
That last one was a joke.


I have a reason to watch SNL for the first time in many years.

All modern jokers pale in comparison to Cesar Romero, who really knew how to wear a pair of pants.
