Somewhere between my arrival in Chicago on Friday and my departure on Monday morning, traditions and normalcy have some place on our blog. While I’d like to pretend superhuman ability, and that I somehow managed to see thirty bands play, travel across three states, secure housesitters for Jolene, my cat, and manage to keep my ears peeled for emerging music, I know that isn’t quite the truth. Radio Dick is a weekly thing here, and even in the midst of all the festivities, there’s a time and place to dial it back and make sure business is attended to. This week’s Radio Dick is a bit abbreviated, but should be a welcome respite, sandwiched between a lot of press coverage this weekend.
So since our dicks are all out spreading their seed all over Chicago this weekend, here’s a big load of tracks we’ve been spinning when we’ve had some time to breath. Stay tuned throughout the week for full recap coverage of Pitchfork Music Festival, some reviews of stellar albums, and all things music related. If you’re visiting for the first time, welcome aboard. I’d like to write more, but I’ve got some recovering to do. Have an excellent work week, folks, and enjoy this week’s playlist.
The Almighty Defenders – Bow Down and Die
Mason Proper – Love Lockdown Gets Innocuous (Kanye West vs. LCD Soundsystem)
Kings of Convenience – Mrs. Cold
Simian Mobile Disco – Audacity of Huge (Naum Gabo Remix)
