Dave did this show on his own today. While The Beatles reissue mania has occupied our interest for weeks now, thought it would be worthwhile to mention that the entire Kraftwerk catalog is going to be remastered and reissued in October as well. Mute Records is going to release each album individually on CD and there is a boxset and vinyl pressings slated for release in November. You can scope the specifics here. One wouldn't expect a Rock Band edition from this group of man machines, but who knows.

Carl was live and flying solo for today's show. In his words, things were looking very 1991 during the early part of the show, but he was indeed spinning a bunch of new sounds. Here's another track from the brand spankin' new Times New Viking album out on Matador called "Born Again Revisited":

The topic of The Beatles solo albums was discussed on today's show. Do you think George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" or John Lennon's "Plastic Ono Band" is the best or are we overlooking something in Ringo Starr's discography?

A good time to throw down some serious coin at your favorite independent record store.
