Left of the Dial Radio Playlist - 3/16/12

By this time tomorrow, I’ll be staying in an apartment in Paris, France. On last night’s Left of the Dial radio program, I geared up for my trip by playing a little French music. I also played some new tracks, including a song from Port of Morrow, the new album from The Shins. I wrote a pretty thorough piece about The Shins yesterday as well, and I think that’s worth reading if you’re into them. Other new music on the playlist included the new b-side from Sharon Van Etten and a track from the new Saddest Landscape album After The Lights, which the legendary post-hardcore band is releasing officially tomorrow in Hamden, CT. Unfortunately I won’t be able to go, but you should if you’re in the area. Find more information about the record release show HERE.
