17dots at East Village Radio #33
Rabbit fencing
I had the somewhat disconcerting realization, when entering in my playlist for this week’s show, that basically all of my shows are the same, at least in shape. Start punky, get broody, dip into rap but segue away before I panic about losing anybody, than expand into utterly incomprehensible, “eh-whatever-let’s-play-this” randomness in the last twenty minutes. I have a formula, apparently, and it includes Kurt Vile and Guided By Voices.
As usual, you can stream the show directly here.
Note: The first song on this show, by White Denim, is something Yancey IMed me the other week, saying, “Listen to this song and tell me that this band couldn’t be as famous as they want to be.” Agreed — “Heart From Us All” is a building, cresting, joyfully sloppy, cockily strutting breeze of a song that peaks in the last minute with the appearance of vocals. You should feel your joy-meter slowly rising throughout.
Note Again: The minute-and-a-half Tom Waits song that I played here is fucking devastating. Devastating.

And who do you think turned Yancey on to White Denim? Oh yeah, that’d be me. I had Transparency on a mixtape that I sent his way. My indie cred just skyrocketed!
Looking forward to listening!
flamgirlant -
totes true! He gives you all the props for White Denim….I should have remembered to mention you. Hope you like the show.
Ok haven’t downloaded the show yet but I want this to be known. . . I am very confused. You See I read 17Dots on a RSS reader (attensa for outlook) and the Feed right above it today was From Picture unrelated – WTF pictures (from the makers of LOLcats), and on it is this very strange picture containing Rabbits. . . So okay whatever it’s a feed of bizarre pictures. So anyway I delete the WTF post and suddenly am faced with the SAME EXACT PICTURE in my next post. . . so either someone there or someone Here is trying to fuck with me . . . please don’t my head might explode. LOL
Now to listen to Jayson’s always awesome 17dots Broadcast Love y’all and I’ll try and make comments on the show while listening to it.
Finale? It was a great show Jayson, and is it also truly the last?
Jayson I loved this show. . . I soooo sad that I’ll not get any more two hour song fests that had such great varietylike the 17dots show did, it was like what radio used to be before clear channel came tro town and gave us
genre.
I agree with Sara (MMM coffee) Devil . Please let EVR know that internationally from Albuquerque to Korea people loved the show and would love to have it back
Nergal,
Really, really appreciate it….EVR had no involvement in our stopping the show; the simple truth is that we just plain ran out of time to do it. We hope to come back someday in the future and do it, or something like it, again. We’ll of course keep you posted
