Another update straight from the envelope to you! Yeah that’s right, this is getting to YOU before it’s even getting to our DJs (how’s that for exclusive?!). The album in waiting is “The Roots, The Leaves” by Cars & Trains. The album rides on my favorite musical goodies such as tape samples, banjos, children’s toys,…
This is one strange “Teen Dream”
By Music Director | Published January 17th, 2010Another new arrival at KZSC: The new Beach House record “Teen Dream” is out now on Sub Pop. Straight forward consensus? The best I’ve heard of them so far. Which is saying something. A lot of the lo-fi qualities from their previous two records are gone. Each song is a bit less shrouded in fog…

By Music Director | Published October 22nd, 2009Last night on the outskirts of CMJ land I met an excccelllent all ages venue called Monster Island.

There was also a pumpkin…
