For the record I do not receive royalties from
Daytrotter nor have I ever done so. I just like them a whole heck of a lot.
(So you may have noticed.) The little website that enthralls, challenges, thrills, occupies and entertains me on a diabolically consistent basis. Seems the venerable
Daytrotter has done it again with two new sessions I would be remiss if I didn’t bring to your downloading attention.

The first is prolific musician
Bob Mould. Yes, that
Bob Mould- founding member of
Husker Du and
Sugar. (His real claim to fame though is writing the
Daily Show theme song “Dog on Fire”.) Bob previews a number of songs from his forthcoming ANTI Records release entitled
Life and Times and this one is on fire. I’m really looking forward to his new release due out on the 7th of this month.

Next up is another veteran of the music scene.
Stephen Malkmus. This time Stephen isn’t promoting anything in particular but just doing what he does best- Quirky jams and wicked rock outs. The highlight might just be the unreleased "Funk 49"; Featuring the incendiary talents of Portland's
Blitzen Trapper.

Speaking of which,
NPR is currently hosting a show from the aforementioned Washington rockers. The quintet headlined
NPR Music's day party from The Parish in Austin, Tex., on March 19th and it’s definitely a keeper.
Listen and download here. 
And lastly but certainly not leastly, Chicago’s favourite son’s
Wilco have a performance up on
Aquarium Drunkard. This time featuring their smoking hot performance on
Austin City Limits from the summer of 2007. If you didn’t really like
Sky Blue Sky listen to some of the songs in a live setting and you might just change your mind.

There's always some great stuff on daytrotter, no question. I haven't been there for a while, must make the click over.
It really is a terrific site Barb. So many interesting things to hear and such a valuable resource. I was a huge fan of John Peel's show and sessions and this one really reminds me of those glory days. Goes a long way to explain why I like it so much.
Glad you are enjoying the greatness as well.
:)
