The Unblinking Ear Podcast 8/2/12

We've got a new Unblinking Ear Podcast for you with a whole bunch of new music. That's pretty exciting but not quite as exciting as a forthcoming announcement regarding the Unblinking Ear.

It will be revealed early next week on my Twitter feed so please follow me there if you're not already. You don't want to miss the big news. And by big, I mean small. Miniature, actually.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast: Opening Day


Yes, it's the return of America's pastime played out on that perfect green blanket.

But enough about me sitting on my rug sorting though records.

Baseball is back and after seeing the Mets' big winter acquisition pitch a very stress-free ninth inning and the Yankees' big winter acquisition generally suck out, it's been pretty fun so far. However, being that the Mets stranded approximately 257 runners on base en route to scoring two runs, I can't say for certain that this October won't find me wondering if Citifield's Shake Shack facility made it all worth it. Either way, it should be a very unproductive six months for me.

In the meantime, the following podcast should make for an entertaining listen during a rain delay.

Enjoy Good Music...

...Without Having to Elbow Your Way Through a Bunch of Music Biz Wastes of Space.


If you're like me and you couldn't make it to South by Southwest (or if you were in Austin and you're just a clueless putz), it would seem you missed a hell of a show. Fortunately, the world's greatest radio station broadcast the event as it happened. It's now available on their archives, so everyone who missed out can now listen to hot live rock action from Mexico's awesome XYX and the new project from former Drive Like Jehu/Hot Snakes frontman Rick Froberg, the Obits. This archived performance also seems to be the only place on the internet you can hear Mayyors, who will soon be the band everyone is going claim they were hyping first, so you should probably get on that. (Chunklet's Henry Owings on Mayyors: "No MySpace. No Facebook. No Twitter. No tour. No interviews. No nothing. In 2009, their marketing tactics are absolutely genius.")

Honestly, if you didn't contribute to WFMU's recent fund raising marathon, you don't deserve to listen to this. Even though it's late, why don't you do that now and ease your guilty conscience?
