The Monday Set: Stereolab – Washington, DC – 5/24/96

Stereolab
9:30 Club
Washington, D.C.
5/24/96

I saw Stereolab for the first time on this tour in Minneapolis and it was by far the best Stereolab show I’ve ever seen. I could have been the bottle of Malibu Rum that I was drinking that night (which I have never touched since) but I remember the show they put on was amazing and the song selection was impeccable. One note on this recording, I have it down as a 1st generation copy from the master, if you’re into knowing that kind of stuff.

Set List:
1. Transona Five
2. Ping Pong
3. Melochord Seventy-Five
4. Tomorrow Is Already Here
5. Lo Boob Oscilator
6. Cybele’s Reverie
7. Percolator
8. Emperor Tomato Ketchup
9. Spinal Column
10. French Disko
11. Metronomic Underground
12. John Cage Bubblegum
13. Stomach Worm

Sample:

Magnolia Electric Co. – Baton Rouge – 9/27/2006

The terrible news yesterday was of Jason Molina’s passing. Jason was the force behind the Songs: Ohia moniker (largely for his own solo work) and Magnolia Electric Co (which saw him working with a regular band). I saw Jason perform three times, in 2004 (Charlottesville), 2006 (Baton Rouge), and 2007 (New Orleans). I spoke with him on two of those occasions. (More...)

In March of 2012 Stephen Merrit released the best Magnetic Fields album since 2004's i. The album features songs with classic Stephin Merritt charm and benefits from vast improvements in production over recent releases.

Cool blog. I enjoyed reading your comments as I jumped around your various posts. I’m a big fan of both indie music and Stereolab. For you and other Stereolab fans, I started a blog with links to bands that sound like Stereolab. It’s called “Sounds Like Stereolab.” http://astrozon.blogspot.com/
