Happy Genius Heroes Radio Recap 10/7

Fun show today. Happy Birthday wishes to big bro Krystof is always a good excuse to lead with some GNR. It was a nice to treat to have Mr. D join us in the studio and I think we got in some good music today as well. Always a pleasure to get a couple phone calls from listeners as well, it being a day off on campus.

I mentioned the link to the website today on the air, so for those of you checking in for the first time, do some exploring. I would encourage you to use the artist labels to find info on specific bands or just roll back through the archives using the links at right.

A few highlights from today's show for your continued listening pleasure or if you couldn't make the early live broadcast.

Phosphorescent - The Mermaid Parade

Titus Andronicus - A More Perfect Union

The Tallest Man on Earth - King of Spain

The Decemberists feat. Shara Worden - The Wanting Comes in Waves/Repaid

Free Titus Andronicus Album Download - Today Only

Titus Andronicus - The Airing of Grievances
Download FREE and legal from Beggars Group. The NJ outfit has made a name for themselves with some raucous live shows (and a plug from Leverett way back when). Read the review of the album at Pitchfork (8.5). They play tomorrow at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. I'll be at the bowery for Blind Pilot, but get the download and catch an upcoming show.
