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. Their publicity folks sent me a copy of their new album, Radio Retaliation, which will be out on September 23.
Speaking of new albums, congratulations [...]

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 [...]

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.

Warren Ellis used to write a column about comics called Come In Alone. The title referred to the only way people can enjoy a comic book. We can experience other media — movies, music, etc. — together with friends or complete strangers, but comics were almost exclusively experience by one person at [...]

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 [...]
