We don't talk enough about the music of the rock garden on this blog. We talk a lot about wiener dogs, and black footed ferrets, and rabid mini-horses. Oil Can cracks wise about the Schnitz bar in Menno, SD. Once in a while, if you catch us in the right mood, we'll even talk about gardening. But somehow through all of the witty banter, we manage to leave out the music. Strange this, when you consider it was our interest in smash faced free range rock and roll that inspired the idea for the Rock Garden Tour in the first place. This ends now.
At least for today, this ends now. The music we blasted over the air waves last night was just too good to go unannounced, massively good, it was soo good that it caused a convective heat burst to melt stuff in the Queen City. So here it is then, the music of last night's Rock Garden Tour on KCFS 94.5.
Brookings, SD, 1996, I pulled my first Young Fresh Fellows album out of a used bin at Sound Station 7. On that cd I found the track titled 'Rock & Roll Pest Control', and right there in a haze of patchouli smack my course was changed forever. The tune inspired the idea for this show, more or less, which isn't really that important. What is really that important is that the Young Fresh Fellows are back. They recently released 'I Think This Is' and we jammed a few tunes from it last night on the show. Good stuff, we're talking convective heat burst good.
Tracks by The xx also contributed to last night's heat burst. As did some incredible stuff off of the Sleepwalking Through The Mekong soundtrack. And that's just the beginning, here's the playlist:
Young Fresh Fellows - New Day I Hate
Bruce Springsteen - Radio Nowhere
Sinn Sisamouth & Ros Serey Sothea - Mou Pei Na (Sleepwalking Through The Mekong Soundtrack)
