Thursday Mornings!

Looks like CWS will be a Thursday morning affair at least for a while. We both prefer the afternoon time slot, but extracurricular events have made that impossible, for now.

There is a good chance we will change to a 2:45 time in October or so, but we'll stick with the morning program at the moment.

So tune in on September 6th (next Thursday), for the season premiere of the Carl Winslow Show. Hopefully we can work out a way to post actual broadcasts on here.

First Post & Animal Collective

Well I guess this is officially the first post on the Carl Winslow Blog. I can assure you that this blog will be alive as long as the show is on the air. This is the place where you will be able to find not only links to the Carl Winslow Show broadcasts (hopefully), but also a place for me, Grizzly, to post links and personal reviews of songs and albums. Beartrap is liable to drop by some time, so stay updated for a post by him.

And now for the productive part of this post. I am sure everyone is familiar with the likes of Animal Collective. If you unfortunately aren't, Animal Collective is a group of musicians who bring to the table a style that cannot be played by anybody else, without sounding like complete crap. It's difficult to explain, because even the best cover to "Grass" would be horrible, it's just the fact that AC is playing it which makes is so amazing. Their latest LP, Strawberry Jam, due in September, holds no preservatives despite it's title. The songs on here just simply reach out and grab with an accessibility that hasn't been present on past releases (but they are still great of course). Below is a link to "For Reverend Green," which is currently my song of the year.
