The Monday Set: Unwound – Hartford – 4/7/95

Unwound
West Indian Social Club
Hartford, CT
4/7/95

The overall feeling I get from this Unwound recording is that it was a “paying your dues” type of show, opening for Fugazi. This short set was played to what sounds like a very unappreciative crowd who were more interested in Ian and co. bringing the rock than a more-mellow-than-average Unwound set. The recording volume fluctuates greatly, but check out the early version of Next Exit with completely different lyrics.

Track listing:
1. Demolished
2. Descension
3. Disappoint
4. Next Exit
5. Devoid

I saw Jason perform three times, in 2004 (Charlottesville), 2006 (Baton Rouge), and 2007 (New Orleans). I spoke with him on two of those occasions. (More...)

Magnetic Fields – Andrew In Drag (Live)

In March of 2012 Stephen Merrit released the best Magnetic Fields album since 2004's i. The album features songs with classic Stephin Merritt charm and benefits from vast improvements in production over recent releases.
