Search for tonight's feature
on the internet and the number of languages that come up is stultifying. French,
Greek, Taiwanese, Japanese, Russian, German, Portuguese, .be, .no, .it, .ee
[.ee?] ["Do you want to install Polish?"]. So we've made it a little
easier playing Rob's delightful -- and vastly overlooked --
Satyred Love tonight. Easy and the magnanimous Kavalier mix it
up. You'll love it.
As BabelFish tells me [from the portuguese]: "Pop goes
off for a sequência of moments of pure devaneio, where the classic clipping
songs gain a stranger and surprising reason of being. Detail not less important:
in the end, it knows well to listen to records of these."

:: March 18th, 2003 Rob
Satyred Love [Chevauchee /
Source]
To be completely honest, we're taking a bit of a chance here. Bought
mail-order import for $22.99, we never expected Rob to be worth the money. But
hot damn if it is. Source France is responsible for Air, Daft Punk and Simian,
and its latest signing, Rob, is an amazing blend of hammond whirl, 80s pop
method and late 70s groove. If anyone in America has any sense, they will cobble
their money together and get the US rights, 'cause this could be a real
breakout. So far, no stateside artist has dipped into these highly-produced
sounds like Rob. It's just jaw-dropping. Spinning the cleanest-sounding records
they have: Kavalier and Easy. Come down and hear something brand
new.

:: March 25th, 2003 Soltero
Defrocked And Kicking The Habit [
Handsome]
People love
Solero. And it's starting to show. Not only is the band making fans fast [they
recently finished a tour], but it's starting to become an institution, sprouting
solo shows, encouraging other bands and having, well, nights like these. We've
invited the groop down to spin some favorites and they've graciously complied
[their occasional record-shop employment won't hurt]. It's rock music and its
coming from your neighbors, so buy them a beer.
:: 9pm - 10:30pm :: Tim and gang
:: 10:30 :: Soltero Defrocked And Kicking The Habit
[Handsome]
:: 11:30pm - 1am: :: Gang and
Tim
Independent Detroit duo makes the most-anticipated follow-up of
2003. Also the title of the year. They are now purely punk rock. With
Cookies and Daddy Long from the Appliance Of Science.
:: April 8th, 2003 Yo La Tengo
Anxiety Always [
Matador]
With guest DJs Tinobeat and Alex McGregor. Yo La Tengo could well be
America's finest rock combo.
:: Music Site of the Week :: Babelfish Okay, so while not strictly
a music site, this Internet superstar can assist you in finding music outside
your language barrier. And as the translations can be a little computerized, you
encounter new ways to think about music. Surf to Tower.jp and you'll soon be saying "I gotta get
back to work."
River Gods is
located a small jaunt of the Central Square T. A completely unique, varied
environment where the staff actually likes what it does, the friendly confines
