Dreaming in Stereo episode 26

It's funny how long Wye Oak flew under my radar. They're practically a local band for me, but I just now finally tuned into them. Digging what I heard, really interested to see what the new album has to offer. You can tell, though, that the group has elevated past the dreaded "local band" status, as their current tour features no Baltimore date (DC is the closest they get).

Lowtide is the key discovery of this show. As mentioned in the show, I caught them on an episode of Henry Rollins's radio show Fanatic on KCRW, where he played the entire album. It is brilliant all the way through, and definitely an album that will be on heavy rotation here.

And I've only been able to dig into a couple of tracks on the new TBTCI compilation, but so far it's looking like another quality comp. I don't know how he does it, but Renato Malizia is truly one of the standouts in keeping this music going.

Dreaming in Stereo for December 16, 2017

Will this be the last episode of 2017? I'd like to think not, but I make no promises. I do promise not to do a Best Of show, in any event. Not that it's a bad thing to do, but there was so much great music that came out this year, it would almost be a disservice to only focus on some of it.

Speaking of focus, this episode features a spotlight on releases from The Blog That Celebrates Itself's Bandcamp page. Their latest collection just came out a few days ago, and while listening to it I realized that their catalog in general deserved a segment of its own. Also, who doesn't enjoy a good cover version, especially one that crosses genres? (A shoegaze Ramones collection? Tell me more...)

And yes, that is a new Noel Gallagher song. Hey, I said this show covers Britpop. Listening to it makes me sad that his collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous will never be heard. Tosser!

Anyhow, enjoy!
