I’ve let a few things slide over the last couple of weeks, and one of those things is listening to music submissions and digging around for new tunes to play. So I’m going to take this week off and give myself a little more time to take care of that. If you want to catch [...]

My dad’s replacing some plumbing, and at one point, we turned one of my ceiling fans into a sprinkler system. Thankfully, though, that problem was fixed quickly, and we can keep things going for another week… Playlist for Dave’s Lounge #131: Caitlyn Hessell, "Always There (Toby [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20080910.mp3) It’s been a busy week around these parts, and it’s not going to slow down for the next week or so, so I’ve decided to keep it simple for this show — less talk, more music. Given the quality of these instrumentals, I don’t think anyone will mind very much… Playlist for [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20080902.mp3) This week’s episode is a bit of a milestone, as it features a band I never thought I would get to play on this show — Thievery Corporation.

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20080805.mp3) A few things worth nothing this week. First off, you’ll notice that I’ve redesigned the Dave’s Lounge web site, so hopefully it looks a bit cleaner and is easier to navigate. I plan on adding a few new features to the site soon, but in the meantime, stop by and let [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20080728-AllIndiaRadio.mp3) Initially, I wasn’t going to do a special episode for All India Radio’s new album, Fall, but the more I listened, the more I was compelled.

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20080722.mp3) So I’m playing songs by Dive Index and Science for Girls this week, and it got me to thinking. I did a special episode for Dive Index, but I’ve pretty much scattered Science for Girls’ music throughout multiple episodes, and I’m wondering which approach y’all like better. Feel free to leave a [...]

Dive Index’s fantastic album Mid/Air was featured in Dave’s Lounge #95. Here’s a video from the closing track of that album, “The World Is Kind” — a lovely little kaleidoscope of theme park rides, which serves to remind me that I need to get myself on some roller coasters very, very soon… The video was directed [...]

Sorry, folks. I’ve gotten way behind on my correspondence and music submissions and such, and I’m not going to be able to get a show out this week. I swear it has nothing to do with EURO 2008… okay, maybe a little, but that will be over next Sunday, and this show will keep right [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20080520.mp3) I’ve always tended to think of Dave’s Lounge as a show primarily for electronic music, as trip hop has always been mostly electronic in nature. This week’s show, however, happens to contain a fairly heavy dose of acoustic and electric guitars. I don’t know if that would be considered a change of [...]
