So, on the radio, my show is now called “The Independents” and I’m now called “Meatball.” Today’s show featured music by bands who are on, or have worked with, labels associated with Beggars Group. Indie powerhouses like XL, 4AD, Matador, Rough Trade, etc.

Here is what I played:

Bon Iver – For Emma
The National – Terrible Love
Iron & Wine – Naked as We Came
Frank Black – Headache
The Mountain Goats – No Children
Ra Ra Riot – Dying is Fine
Stereolab – French Disko
TV on the Radio – Staring at the Sun
Arcade Fire – Ready to Start
Belle and Sebastian – I Fought in a War
They Might Be Giants – Dr. Worm
The Pixies – Broken Face
The Hold Steady – Stuck Between Stations
The Breeders – Cannonball
The Strokes – The Modern Age
The Fiery Furnaces – Here Comes the Summer
The Decemberists – Sons and Daughters
Sufjan Stevens, Springfield, or Bobby Got a Shadfly Caught in His Hair
Modest Mouse – Whenever You Breathe Out, I Breathe In (Positive Negative)
Badly Drawn Boy – The Shining
Beirut – Postcards from Italy
Thom Yorke – And It Rained All Night
Sonic Youth – Teen Age Riot
Sigur Rós – Gobbledigook

Next week, maybe a SST and Dischord show? East coast vs. west coast. Or maybe a midwesterners show. Tune in next Wednesday, 2-4 p.m. Eastern on scadatlantaradio.org to find out.
