Tune in now to catch a live broadcast of my radio show Left of the Dial on WNHU! Guest DJ Ruth Douglas will be joining me for some lovely commentary and potential song selection, or maybe she won’t say anything during the entire two hour show because everybody who comes on the radio with me gets really nervous. Whatever!
Tonight’s playlist includes new cuts from Vampire Weekend (the new album is great!) Mikal Cronin (wonderful!) and So So Glos (loud and angry!). It should be a terrific show.
Fee free to leave any and all requests in my ask box. The full playlist will be up tomorrow. Thanks for listening!

Tonight is my first normal, no-nonsense, playlist-oriented show in quite some time, and I’m glad to be back in the studio for it. Currently on the playlist are new tracks from Daft Punk, Kurt Vile, and Iceage, whom I saw last night with White Lung and Fins. I’ll be talking about that show (spoiler: it was kind of life-changing) and more during the 2 hour program. I’ll also be talking about Record Store Day, which is tomorrow. Feel free to leave any requests in my ask box HERE. The playlist will be up tomorrow.
ALSO: At around 7 PM I’ll be giving away a free copy of Low’s new album The Invisible Way, which Sub Pop sent us as a promo. Cooooool! Listen live for the phone number to call in!
Thanks for listening!
On tonight’s live broadcast of Left of the Dial, we’re going to have a guest DJ playlist from the New Haven-based group Monster Eats Pilot, followed by a live-in-studio performance and interview.

We had some technical problems towards the end of last Friday’s show, but they seem to have been fixed by now! Tune in to my live broadcast right now for the next two hours to hear new tracks from Youth Lagoon, Ricky Eat Acid and Serengeti. Afterwards I’ll be headed downtown to catch Single Mothers at Lilly’s Pad, so I’ll play a track from them as well. Feel free to leave requests in my ask box. I’ll have the playlist up by tomorrow.
You know the deal. Click the link above to tune in to tonight’s live broadcast of Left of the Dial on WNHU, during which I’ll be playing new tracks from Jamie Lidell, Nick Cave, and Connecticut locals Baby Grand, who are terrific and totally under-appreciated.
