I can't believe it has been 20 years since Blur released their Leisure album.
get ready to feel old: nevermind came out 20 years ago tomorrow. oy. anyway, here's one of the great moments in rock n' roll, and certainly one of the last great moments on the MTV. from said network's music video awards, rape me lithium.

Dan Bejar, of New Pornographers fame, is making some of the most enjoyable music out there today in my opinion. There isn't a ton of great materiel out there but I suggest picking up any of his/their albums.

Live at Webster Hall in Toronto, 2011.
many thanks to DK for a great week. please forgive me for jumping on his coattails and also playing a band with 2+ established singers. chicago based urge overkill should have received a lot more love than they did, but, alas, it was not to be. nash and the king traded off vocal duties about 50/50, but it's nash taking the mic on this track.

please ignore the team rocket-esque t-shirts; they really were one of the best dressed bands in the business. also, nash, while being one of the ugliest men in rock 'n' roll, had one of the best voices in my opinion, and some nice chops besides.
I was thinking about playing something really weird to end it here, with lots of cheesy synths, because if we've learned anything this week, I think it's that I have a healthy appetite for cheesy synths. But I decided to just give you some Spoon instead, for MPR's own 89.3 The Current. Thanks to the VJs for giving me the reins this week, and to everyone for indulging my tastes, past and present.
