Savages live on The Current today, KCRW tomorrow
Hey Twin Cities, were you doing something last night that caused you to miss out on seeing the band that pretty much owned Pitchfork Festival? Well stop kicking yourself, Sally, because if you listen to The Current tonight at 8:00PM EDT/7:00PM CDT, you can get a taste of what you missed when Jehnny, Gemma, Ayse & Fay rip through what is sure to be a blistering set of songs. Listen at 89.3FM in Minneapolis/St. Paul or online at thecurrent.org.
If you, on the other hand, are the sort who prefers his or her blisters to be a little earlier in the day, you'll want to give a listen to KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic tomorrow, where Savages will be going live at 2:15PM EDT/11:15AM PDT in advance of their two sold out shows at the El Rey. Tune in at 89.9FM or kcrw.com.

Gazpacho
I'd always thought that authentic gazpacho required blending that Mediterranean staple, stale bread, but not according to José Andrés. His incredibly simple, purist gazpacho calls for just tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper, a garlic clove, sherry vinegar, olive oil and salt.
I added half a fresh jalapeno, helped out our still somewhat pallid NYC tomatoes with some San Marzano juice, and omitted his elaborate garnish, substituting a slice of avocado. I like some chunkiness & pulp, so didn't bother to strain. His tips for tasting at key steps are essential.
Kurt Vile Free All Ages Instore At Grimey's

Check him out when you're wondering, "What am I gonna do today?" on Sunday.

Yo La Tengo - "Ohm" Video & Triple 12" Pack
While Yo La Tengo continue their global touring in support of what's likely to be considered one of 2013's top albums, 'Fade', we'd like you to STOP WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING right this moment and focus intently on the album's first song.The second video from 'Fade', "Ohm" was written and directed by Donick Cary, with animation created by Sugarshack Animation, and was produced by Dejda Mishkovsky. Fans of "The Simpsons" might recall Cary's writing credits from such episodes as "D'ohing In The Wind", "Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo" and "The Last Temptation Of Krust". Apparently they still give awards for music videos and after watching "Ohm" multiple times, I'm sure you'll agree it's a good thing the band invested in an extra large trophy cabinet.
(NOTE TO OUR FRIENDS IN GERMANY : if by some chance the YouTube version of the above clip is blocked, try here instead)
We're releasing a limited edition triple 12" set of multiple versions of "Ohm" ; 3 12" singles with a printed flat in a 4-box poly shower curtain display case. There's metal grommets in the curtain if you'd prefer to display it on your wall (or, if you're especially nuts, in your shower).
Contents :
ORANGE COVER ---- Ohm (album version) b/w Oriole (mix 12)
RED COVER ---- Ohm (live rock version) b/w Oriole (mix 15)
BLUE COVER ---- Ohm (live quiet version) b/w Oriole (mix 29)
All versions are unreleased except the original version. Each 12" pack comes with a download coupon with all the tracks plus the radio edit of "Ohm".
We'll be selling the "Ohm" 12" triple pack early at the Matador table during the CHIRP Record Fair at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago's Union Park, starting Friday afternoon, July 19. However, you can preorder The "Ohm" 3X12" from The Matador Store today.. It'll be in finer record stores on Tuesday, July 30.
