Feeling pretty good about starting the show with Lice (Aesop Rock & Homeboy Sandman). Their track "Pins And Needles" has a pretty obvious callback to "Check The Rhime" by A Tribe Called Quest. The Like A Version cover this week is CHVRCHES covering Arctic Monkeys, which leads to music by Arctic Monkeys and The LIbertines.
Folky goodness from John Darnielle & The Mountain Goats, Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile, and (of course) Jen Cloher. New Wolf Parade. New Spoon. New LCD Soundsystem. Some Tame Impala. Ride, Beaches & Savages for good measure.
