Chalk up another great Tourfilter night at River Gods, where I played a couple hours of songs by bands that are coming to town in the next month or two. I felt like I scrambled to pull this playlist together, didn't have as much time to work on sequencing as I'd hoped, but it ended up feeling just right. Lots of people asking "What band was that?" (or texting - you can request artist/song/show info via msgme while a song is playing), and that's really what it's all about.

Especially well-received were the very first song (a new Say Hi track) and the Pomegranates' "Corriander", which sounded so, so good over the RG speakers. Also gave me great pleasure to play my favorite Now, Now Every Children track, "Have You Tried", for the gathered crowd, along with Let's Whisper's "Dylan's Song". Details on when and where all these bands are playing is right here...
