As I mentioned in my very first song-of-the-day post (and probably many times after), I once had the opportunity to guest DJ on Indie 103.1. In order to do this, I had to submit a 12-song playlist, and when I got to the station, I asked how the selection process was administered (I was wondering if it was random, or if they actually looked at the playlist). It turns out one of the reasons I was selected is because I included a song by The Black Angels, and Mark Sovel (aka Mr. Shovel), the music director, was a big fan.
This is one of my favorite songs of the last few years - I love the late '60s feel of it, which is due not only to the lyrics but the organ and guitar feedback. I later bought the Passover LP and found that all of their songs have this vibe. In fact, this morning I saw via Stereogum that they were on Letterman last night, playing an even more '60s sounding tune. Hope you dig it.
