Rich kids from New York aren't supposed to actually become one of the most recognized bunch of musicians to define a turn-of-the-century sound, right? The Strokes' debut "Is This It?" not only drew critical acclaim and appears at the top of a bunch of "best of the decade" lists for the oughts... it's flat-out awesome garage-indie rock that you've probably heard a ton of times by now.

This week, we're going to delve into the follow-up sophomore release that is equally good (or better, depending on your ears), despite the incredible amount of pressure they endured to deliver. It'd be great if you haven't actually heard this LP before, but hopefully you'll carve out an hour to listen to it regardless.

April 3, 2014's edition of AotW will feature the sophmore release of James Murphy's alternative dance project, LCD Soundsystem... 3 years and 1 day since their last performance ever which was at Madison Square Garden to the bittersweet embrace of their adoring fans.

Hey, I'm starting to really like this place =)

Tonight, there are two shows happening that I feel privileged to attend.

Jon Langford (Mekons, Waco Brothers, Skull Orchard, Pine Valley Cosmonauts) and friends Jean Cook (Mekons), Walter Salas-Humara (The Silos) and the Black Elvis himself, the Koori King of Country, Australia’s own Roger Knox will play in DLMC co-founder David Horning's back yard. 7-9pm

Then.. heading over to see The Head & The Heart at Sophia's 9-11pm. Seattle indie folk-pop band touring after their set at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass this past weekend.

Solid cure for Monday Blues..
