After last week’s excitement, I have only the routine task of telling you how amazing the tunes in tonight’s show were. Why? are back, and this pleases me no end. I played the lead track from their new ‘Sod In The Seed’ EP tonight. Hear the whole EP though, as it’s mighty good:
WHY? – ‘Sod in the Seed’ EP by City Slang

I strongly advise you to seek out “Nothin But Time” from the new Cat Power album too. If you’ve been a Cat Power fan for as long as I have, you will remember when she played pretty much everything herself, and in those early days, that was often just her and a guitar, or her and a piano.  Well, although her sound as evolved greatly since those early albums, a similar principle applies; she plays the majority of the instruments herself.  She’s a modern day Stevie Wonder.

Here’s the full playlist from tonight’s show, which you can hear again over on this page.
