From the album Roots & Crowns

DJ comments: Say you're having one of those Sunday afternoons where you drank WAY too much the night before, played God with your body chemistry a bit and you just feel lazy as hell. This is the band to listen to on that day.
Some may take that as a bad thing, but it's just some great, relaxed music. These guys aren't trying for 'Groove your bad things in 80's clothing at the Picador' nights.
If you don't know the band, start with this album.
Fun Fact: Lead singer Tim Rutili was a member of Ugly Casanova.

The C's: "Chinese Translation," M. Ward
The C's: Caribou, "She's The One"
From the album Andorra
Caribou: Web site MySpace
DJ comments: They're Psychedelic. They're Canadian. They're Caribou.
They're also a band that sounds trapped in the wrong era. Just listen to "Melody Day". If that video won't do it for ya, watch the videos posted on their Myspace page. — BJ

Sage Francis: Wikipedia MySpace
DJ comments: I don't listen to much Sage Francis, but I've seen him live once. Incredible on stage. I would highly suggest seeing him if you ever get the opportunity. Also, just look at some of his lyrics. He's pretty great with his words. — BJ

The C's: The Changes, "Water of the Gods"
From the album Today Is Tonight
The Changes: Web site MySpace
DJ comments: Another Illinois band, this one out of Chicago. I'm pretty sure they've played a Lollapalooza before - they look incredibly familiar to me.
They're also another band who devoted their time to playing Obama benefits. I'm wondering if they were asked solely because their name includes the word change. — BJ

The C's: "Clickity Clack," Alela Diane
The C's: "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa," Vampire Weekend
From the album Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend: Web site MySpace
DJ comments: It's actually kind of funny looking at the dates and events posted on the band's news page. You can see the progression of their popularity from release until now, including the point where it seems people pooped on their album for getting "too much hype".
Actually, I immediately thought of Vampire Weekend when I read the introductory statement on Daytrotter's about page. — BJ

The C's: "Catch Them All," Headlights
From the album Some Racing, Some Stopping
Headlights: Web site MySpace
DJ comments: Headlights is out of Champaign, Illinois, so it should never be too hard to find a local show. If you got sick of them during their shot of popularity (right after this album was released), you should check out their Daytrotter session for a different mix on some of their songs. — BJ
