Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
The Austin trio is back, and better than ever. The tempos have slowed a little, the songs - from their new album, Girls Can Tell - are their best ever and they ditched the major label that has been holding this great indie-pop band back for the last few years.

Inflatable Squirrel Carcass with Rich Hazelton
Some of the most singularly alien music around, the Dead C's blues have very little to do with the rest of the world's. This 78 minute jam plows right into your head as guitarists Bruce Russell and Michael Morley wrestle spuzzed-out amplifiers and (effects pedals with their own minds) into submission, drop it around a stray drum and steamroll it all right into the wall. (78 minutes)
