This week I will be playing selections from three albums. One is a new release from Richie Lawrence. Jason McNiff is from the UK who toured California recently. The last one is from the Sweetwater String Band out of Colorado. All of these beauties are well crafted and a pleasure to hear. So join us as we spin selections from the following.

Primary Colours is the second album by Australian garage punk band Eddy Current Suppression Ring. The album was recorded in a suburb of Melbourne over a 24-hour period in August 2007. The album was first released on Aarght! Records in Australia only on 5 May 2008, then on 9 September 2008 on Goner Records in the United States, and finally in the United Kingdom on Melodic Records on 17 August 2009. (Wikipedia)

I was extremely lucky to catch a set of theirs at Serra Bowl in July 2010. Supporting acts included: Thee Oh Sees, Fresh & Onlys, Sic Alps, and Ty Segall. One of the best shows I'll ever witness, no doubt. Just had the poster framed and remembered how much I loved this band. (DT)

Who visits Yolo County, and what brings them here? On the latest Davisville, Alan Humason and Tiffany Dozier of the Yolo County Visitors Bureau provide some answers. The show airs 5:30 pm Mondays, 8:30 am Wednesdays and 7:30 am Saturdays, and I'll link to it in this entry once the show becomes available online 3/16.

We are honored to spend some time with American musical storyteller and guitarist Tom Brosseau on Thursday, March 12th. First he'll join us on air at 4:30p for Live in the Loam, where he'll play some tunes and chat about his upcoming projects, including his new record, Perfect Abandon on Crossbill Records. Then we'll move to the DMA studio for a live living-room-style concert cosponsored by the Davis Live Music Collective. Ben Lewis and Brian Morgan open at 7p.

This week's AotW is "Bitter Tea," the 2006 release by the Fiery Furnaces, a band composed of brother and sister Eleanor and Matt Friedberger. It’s a trippy, inspired piece of work that features a tinny upright piano--dragged from the lounge of a depression-era bordello--functioning as the signature instrument, stitching together the patchwork songs with Matt's speedy little trills. Toss in Eleanor’s high, clipped voice; some moog; backward vocals; and other electronic and studio madness...these kids are really on to something! :> DJ Dug Deep hosts.
