Revisiting the Blackouts on radio, radio
Mr. Joe Prokop, the sexy beast.
So, The Blackouts did indeed make an appearance on WFMU this week, which of course I completely forgot about. Lucky for me, there's an archive of the show posted on Three Chord Monte's site. Listen to the RealPlayer version, as you can fast-forward that one. You want to go to about the one-hour, fiften-minute mark to catch the beginning of their set. The sound quality on the RealPlayer version just doesn't come anywhere close to matching the intensity of their actual live show, but you can still get a good sense for what they're all about. And they're playing mostly new songs that haven't been released yet.
I'll be without the world wide web for the next couple days in good ol' Canton, Illinois, with the family. Enjoy your Turkey Day. Remember: mashed potatoes and gravy never taste as good the second time around, so eat an extra helping the first time around.
