Beard 'druff the radio show

Another show tonight starting at 8 EST

Special guest is Matt Strom

That's Concerting: Jamie Lidell

I'd been trying to track this down for awhile -- it was filmed for the Nigel Godrich series "From the Basement." When I saw Lidell do this song live, the crowd applauded mid-song simply because he had constructed it so well...it's not quite as effective here, but you can get the gist of how cool his act really is.

Frrriday: Charlotte Gainsbourg

Charlotte Gainsbourg - "Trick Pony" - IRM (2010)

Grrr, basically.
