New Smog album coming soon, yes! Described by Insound like this:
(SMOG) 'Supper' (Drag City) - MARCH 18.
A sweeping masterwork that ranges from Lou Reed-esque glam-boogie to Stonesy blues-rock. While their eleventh full-length may strike some as easy listening with its soft steel guitars, female harmony vocals, and fluttering guitars, "Supper" certainly retains Smog's penchant for sharp observations, a steady stream of humorous specters, and discomfiting intimacy.
So today is a bit scattered and I've got a lot of work to do here (nice for a change). Just realized that my dj date is the same night as the Oscars so I'm hoping everyone will embrace their indie-rockyness and not stay home and watch them. Do you really want to see Joan Rivers Senior and Junior riff all sarcastic-like about how Hilary Swank looks like a skank, I've seen her in person and she is no skank people. Listening to the Creeping Nobodies and Derek has got this incredible thing that he does of screaming into the pickup on his guitar, I love it. I wish they'd play live again soon. And yes Wendy that Beans song was fantabulous on Ian's show. I wish that I could talk those guys into creating an Exclaim internet radio station. Just imagine 24 hours a day of Exclaim-type music available to listen to over the net (would you ever listen to anything again?)
Ok back to work. Later peeps.
