No theme this week, just great tracks, new and old.
I found a new way to stream the playlist, this way I can have all the right songs every week. Let's hope it lasts.
TORCHE - CHARGE OF THE BROWN RECLUSE (LIVE)
If you ever get the chance to see Torche, do NOT pass it up. One of the most crushing live bands I've ever experienced. They come through NC on most of their tours and it's worth a road trip.
KYLESA - HOLLOW SEVERER
MAMMOTH GRINDER
The first time I saw Mammoth Grinder they soundchecked with a Minor Threat song and then proceeded to dive into their brand of down-tuned riffs. I was hooked instantly. If you like their sound consider ordering their records, they're cheap and solid LPs.

Finally, if you've never checked out IF YOU MAKE IT, do so. It's a great site dedicated to special diy performances and even legal downloads of several exciting new records.

Episode 2 - Steve Albini Week (9/21)
The Problem With Music by Steve Albini
This essay is a pretty interesting read, it's a few years old now, but still relevant.
Records Produced by Steve Albini
A ton of great records are on that list as well as a ton I've never heard. I wish I had more than an hour to feature them.
Jawbreaker - "Boxcar" (live)
Great song about being punk but not being "punk"
I mentioned the slightly ridiculous (and awesome?) lyrics to High on Fire's "Cometh Down Hessian", so I've put them here for all to see:
Enter stoned paravex
mother of the seekers
Cometh down hessian
to plunder the archaic tomb
Stolen ancient amulet
black the hexed sarcophagus
Summoning the hound
the bringer of impending doom
Necromatic lunatics
murder of the innocents
Stepping on the curse
inflicting it's beastious wounds
Undo the evil spell
undig the graves demise
Unveiling the horror
the hair covered corpse now will lie
Until next week...

Episode 1 (Sept. 14th
If you tuned in this week to Left of the Dial, you heard a rough draft of what the show will be. There were a few glitches in the playlist, but next week promises to have even more music. Here's a few tracks I played this week in case you missed it. If you have any questions about what's missing or any requests, please leave a comment.
The OJAYSIS mixtape that I mentioned on-air, including the song Wonderback that I played, is available for free (and legally) from the following link:

Sequestered in Memphis
Since Left of the Dial has yet to begin, here's something to keep you entertained:
WASU has been playing tracks from the recent Hold Steady album Stay Positive. Somebody with too much time on their hands synced the track "Sequestered in Memphis" perfectly to old footage of the Muppet Show band Electric Mayhem. This rules, and so does the Hold Steady.
