New Music Night 12 DJ Sets | River Gods | 24/25 Oct.

Happy Saturday, rock fans. Here are the songs what we played whilst manning the figurative decks Thursday night and into Friday morning in the booth at the fabulous River Gods in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Sure, the game didn't go the way anybody wanted it to (well, except for that bastard Earley), but a nice time was had by all and we're grateful for all the friendly faces that came out, even some who rolled in from Fenway after the game wrapped. We all laughed and cried and cheered and booed and all the while Mr. 'Nac and I spun the new sounds for the people. So here's what we played, with a caveat that our memory of how we re-ordered the midnight set to accommodate an early last-call is a little shifty. But we're pretty sure this is right. If you have any questions or want to know more about the songs below, hit us on Twitter or drop a comment. We may or may not do Spotify playlists of these sets in the coming days and post links here; watch this space. Also, please click over to Bradley's Almanac and check out Brad's playlists for the 9PM and 11PM hours, which are already online, because Brad is cool like dat. #NewMusicNight 13 is already booked, it'll be next month, on Nov. 21, same bat time, same bat channel. Ready for more new? Yeah you are.

Anything good on TV tonight? Anything at all? What about tomorrow? No? Yes? The Red Stockings are playing, you say? Wunderbar! There's an app for that, at least tomorrow night. And by "app" we mean you can take your ass over to River Gods in Cambridge and accomplish not one, not two, but three things. 1) You can watch Game Two of the World Series on the projection screen with the sound turned off; 2) You can listen to several hours of fresh-from-the-forge new music; and 3) you can drink beer. This is a victory for everyone; this, friends, is what makes our country great. As far as the music is concerned, your faithful aural tour guides de rock will of course be Brad of Bradley's Almanac and Jay of Clicky Clicky, and it all happens from 9PM-1AM. It is, in fact, #NewMusicNight's 12th visitation upon River Gods, and we are pleased as punch to yet again bring you the now and future sounds after taking the late summer/early fall off. For a sense of what you're getting into, check out Brad's playlist from the July event, or our very own. Solid. Sold? Thinking about it? Here's the Facebook event page, why not click on over and pledge your allegiance?
