Try to enjoy yourselves. And hit the jump for this week's track listing...

In this week's installment of the DC9 at Night podcast, Noah Bailey, Jesse Hughey and I tackle some serious, serious local music issues, like the Slobberbone reunion, the hopefully not-so-meager prospects of the upcoming NX35 festival in Denton and Black Tie Dynasty's breakup.

We also talk more on The Me-Thinks latest disc, which Jesse reviewed in last week's paper, and talk about a whole slew of shows rolling through the DFWd region in the next week or so.

Anyway, you should listen to it. If only so you can see how much less worse we are in this week's episode!

DC9 at Night: The Weekly Podcast, Ep. 2 (February 12, 2009)


Enjoy. And jump for this week's full track listing.

Well, lookie, lookie: We just had so much darned fun making our year-end podcast a couple of weeks ago that we've decided to try and go ahead and try to do the same thing on a somewhat regular basis. Perhaps even weekly!

So, here we present you with the official debut of our newest weekly DC9 segment, which we're tentatively calling "DC9 at Night: The Podcast" until we can come up with something better.

In this week's podcast, you'll hear news, show previews and an expanded CD review, as well as songs from Macon Greyson, David "Fathead" Newman, Los Campesinos, Broken Social Scene, M83, Tapes 'N Tapes, The Submarines, and Daniel Folmer. Enjoy.

DC9 at Night: The Podcast (January 28, 2009)

For whatever reason, we were feeling like a real team last week--so much so that we gathered up most of the music writing crew here at the Observer and packed everyone into my spacious fake college dorm room office to talk about our favorite local releases of the year (and to take very unlively pictures, it seems...).

Anyway, someone suggested we record it. For posterity, I guess. So we did.

The result: Our debut DC9 at Night podcast, in which we discuss, among other things, Rhett Miller's hatred for Darryl Smyers (and vice versa!), Noah Bailey's general lack of enthusiasm toward everything, and my own apparent lack of faith! Also: local music!

And we actually had a pretty decent time doing it, I think. Anyway, the resulting three-part, year-end podcast is after the jump. Stream it or download it--your call. Just try to enjoy yourselves. We did. --Pete Freedman
