The lack of an update yesterday was due to the fact that I spent most of the day sick, semi-conscious on medication in front of a TV watching pirate and horror movies all day.  1564.jpg(If you must know: The Devil-Ship Pirates, The Burning, and The Evil Dead.  The highlight of my fever dream day was being suddenly woken by a half-dozen summer camp kids getting messily massacred by a crazed maniac with garden shears.)  I’m still sick and medicated today, but I made it to the computer this time.  Here is part of what I missed: a Folklore session taped last spring has been posted at Daytrotter.  Lead singer Jimmy Hughes is here joined by Derek Almstead, Ian Rickert, and Aaron Jollay.  The whole set is available here.  (This was actually taped the day after the quieter late-night set for The Optical Atlas Show.)

The band has also released this surveillance-camera-themed video for “Bingo Beats,” off their forthcoming Carpenter’s Falls.
