Sunday, July 15 The Week That Will Be

No shortage of highlights on tonight's show, as we take a look at (and a listen to) new releases out this week from Suzanne Vega and The Meat Puppets, each returning Tuesday after a lengthy hiatus. Also, music from recent releases from Spoon, Shapes & Sizes, and Ryan Adams, plus more from this year's PDX Pop Now! compilation.Rocky Votolato

There are also a few interesting live dates in the area this week we'll be talking about, including the cello-wielding Rasputina, playing tomorrow night at the Hawthorne Theatre in Portland. The trio led by Melora Creager is touring in support of their fifth and latest studio effort, Oh Perilous World. Thursday the 19th brings Rocky Votolato to Portland's Doug Fir Lounge as he plays in support of his own new release: The Brag & Cuss was released recently on Seattle's Barsuk label (the night's bill also includes the wildly entertaining Langhorne Slim), and Friday the 20th features a sold out show at the Baghdad Theatre from Canadian sister duo Tegan & Sara.

Perhaps one of the greatest dj moments ever: GoodBadQueen mixed directly into Mescaleros.
Well executed.
Thanks.

Ha, thanks Peter. I'm just glad someone noticed, you've entirely validated my musical dorkiness.
