J. Mascis on Dinosaur Jr.'s "Pick Me Up". Truly epic.

91.7 FM KXT you can listen online at kxt.org

It's pretty crazy, actually. They've played at least 5 of our songs on there in the last three weeks. Pretty much one or two plays a day. They're playing a lot of our friends' bands on there, too--it's nice to have decent radio in Dallas again, huh?

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Wrong.

It's amazing. Best selection of vinyl in Texas, maybe the world.

Thanks so much for listening. We sell them at shows but haven't set up a way to sell them over the internet ourselves yet other than CDBaby and iTunes. You can also buy them at Good Records in Dallas and Recycled Books in Denton. Are there any stores in Fort Worth we should take some to?

FYI, as of tonight our album is on itunes if you prefer...

Thanks for the listen and the kind comparisons. Any day someone hears those influences in our music is a good day.

We do not, as of yet anyway, tour around the country. Maybe soon. I originally thought of the name as a way to describe that point when you first fall asleep, only to awaken suddenly, feeling as if you've run into something. (I'm sure there's a medical term for this, but I have no idea what it is.) Mostly I just like the way the words sound together, and all my female friends picked it from my list of band names back when I was deciding on one...

We've played Lola's in the Stockyards before. Hoping to get over there again soon.

They are up there, but seem to only work intermittently. Not sure what the deal is. You can also find us at myspace.com/thenaptimeshake and sonicbids.com/thenaptimeshake. Thanks for listening. My friend Claire, a talented graphic designer, did our cover art. I think she pretty much knocked it out of the park.

I know this can be annoying for some of you, but I thought the 3 or 4 of you on here that know who I am might be interested in this... My band, The Naptime Shake, released our debut album recently. It went live on CDBaby yesterday and can be found at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/NaptimeShake There's a little Wilco and a lot of Texas in our sound--I think some of you might be into it. And if you write about music for a blog/magazine/newspaper/etc. and might be interested in a free promo copy, hit me up. Thanks in advance to any of you who take a little time out of your day to give it a listen.

By whom? It certainly isn't in the circles I run in. Chutes is a good album, don't get me wrong, but "Oh, Inverted World" has much cooler production. They haven't done anything that strange and beautiful since.

I've had problems with this list since they started rolling it out on Monday. First of all, how do you put Chutes Too Narrow 69 spots ahead of Oh, Inverted World? That's just crazy talk. Okkervil River and Califone should at least be in the top 20, as should the Constantines IMO. I'm also shocked at the lack of DBT. Even Pitchfork has reviewed many of their albums fairly well. Funeral at #2, but no Neon Bible? I think Neon Bible is the better record, but even if they don't, it's easily in the top 200. No Gillian Welch. That is astounding. They gave Time (The Revelator) an 8.1 when it

No love for the Lee Fields & The Expressions record? "Love Comes And Goes" floors me everytime.

Wilco: My favorites: * *11-07-1997 Trees, Dallas, TX (My girlfriend's father was picking us up after the show and I think I made him wait till after the first encore. Definitely violated her curfew. My bad. I will always remember that night's version of "Misunderstood".) *8-14-1999 Gypsy Tea Room, Dallas, TX 9-22-2001 Stubbs, Austin, TX 9-27-2002 The Mercury, Austin TX 9-28-2002 ACL Fest 8-02-2004 Eagle's Ballroom, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Lived in Chicago that summer and met some of you fine people. My only time backstage.) *9-14-2004 The Blue Note, Columbia, Missouri 9-19-2004 ACL Fest 9-24-2

I first heard Wreck Your Life when I was 15 (same year I discovered Son Volt, Wilco and Slobberbone) and I caught the 97s a bunch of times in high school/college. I'd rank their albums this way... 1. Wreck Your Life 2. Too Far To Care 3. Early Tracks ep 4. Fight Songs/ Hitchhike to Rhome (tie) 5. Satellite Rides 6. Drag It Up 7. Blame It On Gravity (If you thought Drag It Up sucked, try this stinker...) Rhett went downhill as a songwriter a couple years after moving to LA if you ask me, but if you avoid his solo albums and stick to the early stuff you'll hear some great music. Murray Hammo

My Morning Jacket: "One Big Holiday"

Sorry, but Kings of Leon have sucked for years now. The Southern Strokes thing they mined on Youth and Young Manhood was fun and worthwhile, but this Southern U2 bullshit is rom-com soundtrack nonsense. They never should have shaved their moustaches, either.

Love, love, love this record.

Teenage Cool Kids--Foreign Lands If any of you are into early Built to Spill or that first Shins album, track this down pronto.

If you're a fan of say, the Band, and you haven't heard this record, do yourself a favor... Alela Diane sings a bunch of great covers with backing from Joey Waronker and others...

Red Red Meat played "Funeral Singers" at SXSW. It's a jam.
