We got a note from Sam of Quivers this morning updating us on the band's stuff and junk. He writes "Hope all is well in KEXP-land! We are back home and paying off debts and getting ready to record (in that order). Doing some Australian touring next, then plotting our return!" Oh, you WILL return to KEXP Sam of Quivers.
He was just here at the KEXP but was also here in 2016 and it was amazing great awesome by 1000 x 11 gazillion. www.youtube.com
Like many of the artists we love on KEXP, Calexico and Iron & Wine will be at Fort Warden in Port Townsend to play the THING Fest Saturday August 25th. Who's in?

Happy birthday to one of the greatest of all-time. His run of records from 1970 to 1976 (Where I'm Coming From (1971)
Music of My Mind (1972)
Talking Book (1972)
Innervisions (1973)
Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974)
Songs in the Key of Life (1976) is the stuff of greatness. Maybe the best, ever.
Learn about Hot 8 Brass Band here, and yes, there will be a test later. www.hot8brassband.com
The band was in an altered state throughout recording the Low-Life album, relying on a cadre of engineers to piece together the tracks in a meticulous manner. Bernard Sumner says that the drug influence on their playing is quite evident on this track. He told Q magazine: "Listen to 'Love Vigilantes.' Listen to that chordal guitar solo. Listen to how fast it is. Impossible to recreate under normal circumstances."
Happy birthday to Alison Goldfrapp. Why not get her the gift of cash by buying merch from the band? www.musicglue.com
The Chemical Brothers were created following accidental exposure to gamma rays during the detonation of an experimental bomb, which physically transformed them into DJs/producers when subjected to emotional stress, at or against their will, often leading to destructive rampages and conflicts that complicate their civilian life. Oh wait, that's the Incredible Hulk. Never mind.

We like the lyrics to this song.
I was your boyfriend when we were 15, it's the happiest that I've ever been.
Even though we didn't understand how to do much more than just hold hands.
There's so much about you I miss, the clumsy way we used to kiss.
I wish I'd convinced you you'd made a mistake, if memory serves we're still on a break.
Other girls went and other girls came, I can't get over my old flame.
I'm still in love with, Emily Kane.
Every girl I've seen since looks just like you when I squint.
I know you said it's for the best, I still don't understand why you left.
There's so much about you I miss, every time I see a couple kiss.
I hope this song finds you fame, I want school kids on busses singing your name.
Other girls went and other girls came, I can't get over my old flame.
I'm still in love with, Emily Kane.
I don't even know where she lives.
I've not seen her in 10 years, 9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 13 minutes, 5 seconds.
Other girls went and other girls came, I can't get over my old flame.
All my friends think I'm insane, I'm still in love with Emily Kane.
There's a beast in my soul that can't be tamed, I'm still in love with Emily Kane.
I thought I'd never love again, I'm still in love with Emily Kane.
The torch I hold is always a flame, I'm still in love with Emily Kane.
I hope this song finds you fame, I want school kids on busses singing your name.
All my friends think I'm insane, I'm still in love with Emily Kane.
Emily Kane, Emily Kane, Emily Kane.
James Murphy played a Supro Dual Tone guitar on "Emotional Haircut." The LCD Soundsystem leader had worked with David Bowie on his Blackstar album and it was because of the Thin White Duke's advice that he picked up the instrument.
"Bowie said you should get a Supro Dual Tone, it's what Link Wray played," Murphy explained to Uncut. "He had two Supro Dual Tone guitars and he was very proud of them. So I bought one and played it on Emotional Haircut on the new album and love it."
