Theme: I Wanna Go Surfin' On Air: Frank

This was a 4 song set kind of show, just kind of worked out that way. My top song for the show was a song that I heard a while back at the NYC popfest this spring. But I was reminded of the great performance by Karim and his Brown Coach of Leisure podcast ( http://silenttalkie.com/ ). I just can't get the song out of my head. They are also releasing their first EP soon that I'm very much looking forward to. I tried not to talk a lot during this show as I felt there was a lot of talking during the Hillside review show. Keeping with the same sentiment I won't write a lot about the show except to say that I was happy with how it came together. Even got a slow set in which is relatively rare for me. And do listen to the end of the show as the last song by the band Death By Chocolate was fighting to be my top song, but I still can't describe it, you just have to listen. Things I referenced on the show: See video of the performance by The Drums at the NYC Popfest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC4W5SEwdOk Download the Celestial song here: http://musicismygirlfriend.com/celestial/hop-you-know/ Fireball XL5 Setlist - September 5, 2009 TALK (Theme) The Drums - Let's Go Surfing Dylan Mondegreen - Wishing Well Girl Alliance - Straight To My Heart The Champagne Socialists - Blue Genes TALK Papermoon - What are you going to do with me?
