Joe Belock is proud to welcome the Shrubs to Three Chord Monte on Thursday. This band, which originated in upstate New York in 1994, are masters of tuneful garage pop and the occasional VU-inspired 3-minute freakout. Their most recent release, "Forgotten How to Fall," came out in 2009. Their set will air on Joe's show of 3/24, from noon to 3 PM.

On My Castle of Quiet, Wm. M. Berger will present music from Long Distance Poison, a group that performs long-form electronic composition and has been captivating Brooklyn audiences for some time. Their live set on Wm.'s show will be a collaboration -- the score to a made-up film, a Nordic romance entitled Sisu that Wm. himself conceived at the band's request. Listen on Thursday night (Friday), 3/25 from 12 midnight to 3 AM.

The playlist, and part 1 of the archive, of WFMU's South By Southwest broadcast are available now for your downloading. If you didn't get a chance to go down to Texas this year to see a million bands and have a debaucherous time, here is your chance to do so virtually! Go here and enjoy great live stuff from El G, the Endtables, Amen Dunes, Kurt Vile and the Violators, and more -- with DJ commentary and interludes. The complete show will be up soon.
Y'all are soo rad for posting this, I had to be at work 5:30AM the next day, so that left me without the option of attending the WFMU showcase, and making my way up to Austin from San Antonio that particular evening.
