Why couldn't I think of this 2 hours ago?

Gang of Four released a new album in 2005 called "Return The Gift". I remember that I only played it once when it was new, but I really liked it. At KAOS, some of our CD's tend to migrate. Occasionally they'll jump into other genre's shelves, or they'll visit with a programmer at home for several weeks. Mostly, though, I think they camouflage themselves with other CD's that I have no interest in. Anyway, I wanted to play it again tonight, but I couldn't remember what band it was. I thought I was thinking of Wire, but when I grabbed their CD's I knew it wasn't them. I was even looking in the right section, alphabetically, but to no avail. On the up side, I did play Holly Golightly and Robyn Hitchcock because of it. Yesterday, I interviewed Todd Fancey of, well, Fancey, and the New Pornographers. I intended to keep the interview brief, 10 minutes or so, but ended up talking for half an hour. I haven't had time since then to edit it, but I'll do my best to have it for next week's show, and I'll also post it here as well. Thanks to Todd for doing the interview. I'm looking forward to the show on Saturday. It will be the first time I've seen the New Pornographers without Neko Case. Two new albums caught my eye this week. The first was Quasi's new record, "When The Going Gets Dark", which I really enjoyed. I haven't really gotten into their last few releases, but so far this is my favorite album since "Field Studies". The second was the new Rainer Maria album, "Catastrophe Keeps Us Together". The last thing I remember from them was a live album, "Anyone In Love With You Already Knows" which I liked. It also had a DVD with it. I mentioned to the music director at the time that we should be able to check out DVD's that came with CD's to watch at home. Nothing ever came of that. This new album was somewhat disappointing, though I've only had a cursory listen. Nothing really jumped out at me. I'm starting to get into the mclusky compilation, "mcluskyism". They're one of those bands I'd heard of, but never really heard what they sounded like. Lots of the songs have profanity in them, which doesn't bother me, but apparently angers the FCC, so I have to be careful now that my show falls inside of the "Safe harbor" period prior to 10pm. I may go and try to pick up the 3-disc set, since we only have the single disk version at KAOS. Next week will be my last show before I'm on vacation for 2 weeks. While I'm gone, Austin from the show "Catch A Wave" will be sitting in. Perhaps they'll have filled the 11-1pm slot by the time I get back.
