MP3 of the Day
On this day in 1979, the movie Breaking Away was released in the U.S. The film is about four working-class friends who have recently graduated from high school and are unsure what to do with their lives. They often clash with the more affluent Indiana University students in their hometown of Bloomington, Indiana. Call it a coincidence (or not), but the band Defiance, Ohio are playing in Bloomington, Indiana tonight (at a venue called Magnetic South). “Cutters” t-shirts are encouraged. Today we have Anxious and Worrying by Defiance, Ohio.

MP3 of the Day
On this day in 1985 the Minneapolis based record label Twin/Tone, released the Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers album, Rockin’ & Romance on LP & cassette. Despite, in my opinion, being one of Jonathan Richman’s best records, Twin/Tone never re-issued the album to CD. Today we have the song Vincent Van Gogh from Rockin’ & Romance.

On this day in 1994 The Softies wrote a song in Crayon’s tour van in the parking lot of a laundromat just outside of Burlington, Vermont. For a brief period it rained really hard that day. I’m from the northwest, so I’m used to rain, but this was like no downpour I’d ever experienced. Today we have a live recording of the song Jen & Rose wrote that afternoon called Empty Patches. Happy Friday!

MP3 of the Day
On this day in 1994 Crayon played a house party in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I don’t remember this show very well, but I’m sure Jeff wore the lion suit and I’m betting Brad’s guitar was too loud. Today we have Secret Goldfish by Crayon.
