Starting the show with "Famous Tracheotomies" by Okkervil River. A strange beginning to be sure. Continuing that theme with The Kinks & Mary Wells (both featured in the song). All 1980s set starting out with some recently released/remastered music from Felt, followed by early R.E.M. and For Against. Slightly oddball stuff from The Decemberists, Eleanor Friedberger, and Drinks (Cate Le Bon & White Fence). Much stranger stuff from Black Moth Super Rainbow, L.A. Law, and Total Control. Finishing up the show with some Frightened Rabbit in memory of Scott Hutchinson (rest in power).
