The 10*7*09 edition of Beef Jerky Time has 2 Phoenix remixes. Part of Phoenix's greatness (PR greatness?) is their encouragement of remixes by any and all. The one with Devendra Banhardt is awesome--I think it's teen movie soundtrack material (after the breakup, in the car, bleak afternoon, rain). Also the song by Wild Beasts (All the King's Men) has been worming its way into my skull. At first it seemed "interesting," now it's like an addiction and I must play it daily. (Pitchfork describes them as a "Leeds art-pop group," which has a nice ring to it.)

The 10*14*09 show was a black eyeliner edition--I was trying to play music slightly mournful and goth. The threefer of New Order, The Smiths & The Cure in the middle of this show almost sent me into some high-school related PTSD. That is good stuff.

On 10*21*09 I was having a stressful day, so I played some mellower chill-out music for medicinal purposes (except "Too Fake" is not very mellow, I had to apply Coldplay to reduce the swelling). This set includes "Love at First Sight" by The Gist--a great, great song. Welsh band, they broke up in 1983.

The obligatory Halloween show was 10*28*09. I played Gentleman Reg & the Hidden Cameras as well because they were in the area the following Monday. I actually got to go to the show! (Thanks AK!)
