Tomorrow night I'll be doing a 4AD themed radio show from 6-8PM pst. I'm going to try getting away with playing as much Cocteau Twins as humanly possible. Listen live here.

Cocteau Twins - Peppermint Pig

Download

"In early Decembers long since past, while the quaint Victorian village of Saratoga Springs slept quietly through a chilled and moonlit eve, legend suggests that a bit of magic was in the making.
The first dusting of winter's snow gathered in darkened downtown doorways and twirled by night's wind seemed to dance and whirl like sugarplum fairies. Behind the oaken doors of gingerbread-sized candy shops that dotted Saratoga, tireless old candy makers, bathed in amber glow of crackling hearth and bubbling candy pots, labored on into the night creating... and continuing a holiday tradition known to all as the "Peppermint Pig™"

Dif Juz - Out of the Trees

Download

Went to Burger a few weeks ago and got this because it was the most pretentious thing that caught my eye: 4AD 80s band with a weird name and a cool cover. Hadn't listened to it until last week when I was stuck doing calculus all day and it surprised me with how good it was. This is a compilation of two of their early EPs released in 1981. One of them is remixed and partly re-recorded, though I hear it's a very slight difference from the original.
Anyway, Dif Juz were a British post punk band on 4AD. Mostly instrumental laid back ethereal post punk jams with dub influence.

This is what you get

More 80s European music I can't help but associate with Cocteau Twins.

This Mortal Coil - It'll End In Tears

Download.

Founder of 4AD decides to round up all of his 4AD buddies and cover a bunch of songs, as well as write (mostly) instrumental originals.

The Pixies - Complete 'B' Sides

http://www.mediafire.com/?fvxndnl2na5

The Pixies are kicking off the American leg of their Doolittle tour in a couple of hours. They will be playing Doolittle along with some of the b-sides recorded around the same time. Seems like they're for sure playing Dancing The Manta Ray, Weird At My School, Bailey's Walk, Manta Ray, Into The White, and the UK Surf version of Wave of Mutilation. If you aren't familiar with them now is your chance. The UK Surf version is exceptionally good, even better than the original.

Got me a movie I want you to know

The Pixies - Doolittle

http://www.mediafire.com/?0om2vgin3mh

In honor of The Pixies Doolittle reunion tour, of which I will be attending tomorrow, here is one of the best records ever made. You probably already have it, but if you're ignorant or have been in a coma since 1989 you're in for a great listening experience.
