Last night I got to check out the Art Fag DJ collective at Vernor's Room which was cool, but that isn't the point. I was told by friends that I should see the Hard Lessons, but all I heard was comparisons to the White Stripes who I am just not much of a fan for. But, I made my way over to see the Hard Lessons and they were BRILLIANT! Completely at the top of their game, rocking out like a national headliner and having friends from other bands join them on stage. They made me a believer and you'll hear them on MPAD real soon.

As for this week's episode, I split up the talk from the music. I have a 15 minute mix at the beginning that includes a demo from one of my favorite local bands, the Nice Device, then, the mix gets funky and trippy (where's that sample from?) leading to something from Girl Talk's latest (which you can download online). The talk covers the latest albums I've listened to, a new technology toy and some crazy song that's been driving me crazy! Enjoy.

I think this is my first "author" interview episode. John Sellers is the author of "Perfect From Now On: How Indie Music Saved My Life" and has also contributed articles to Spin, GQ, The New York Times and more. He's an obsessive music fan that I could spend countless hours at a bar arguing over which Smiths song is best or which bands should really reunite. Our conversation is an hour and includes 2 tracks and underscored by some of the best music from the 80's, 90's and even a few from today.

music:

So about three years ago I put out my first MPAD episode. I looked at the show as my way of spreading what I deem as good, under appreciated music and other artistic endeavors to an audience larger than the few friends I have been talking and playing this stuff to for years. Doing anything for 3 years on a consistent basis is significant. It's even more significant when you can point to results and events that make the work worthwhile. I can point to friends that I've made, the listeners that I have and events that have made the last 3 years special enough to keep doing this crazy new media show. This week's episode is a typical show with a few new bands I've come across with great songs and some banter about the event I DJ'd (well, sort of) over the weekend.

music:

The Errors - Dance Music

Why - The Hollows

Belle Luna - Blissful Escape from "Abstrated Visions"

The LK - Never Mind Your Idols from Eardrums "Summers Here" compiliation download it here!

I hope everyone is having a great 4th of July weekend! As I sit here with a sunburn on my face of all places, I'm trying to hide from the sun. In celebration of Indendence Day, I am interviewing an independent artist that pushes the limits of life and music, Dan Diamond. His songs such as Titty Dancer and Bad Habits uncover the seedy lifestyle we normally watch and cheer on from the bleacher seats. Always enjoying the view but never sure if we'd want trade places.

Dan Diamond clips from "She's A Dancer" "Bad Habits" "Club Therapy" (w/Peace Division) and "Just Like Everybody"
