Mike Curto digs the band Yuck
NO, SERIOUSLY >>>
Among other awesome stories, tomorrow's issue of the Weekly Volcano features an interview with Tacoma Rainiers announcer Mike Curto, now in his 13th season with the team. As you'll find out by reading the piece, Curto's got more things going for him than simply a sweet gig and the impressive destinction of having traveled on the same commercial flight as Mike Carp.
Specifically, Curto knows his indie rock.
When pressed, here were the three albums the self-described "Stephen Malkmus fanboy" recommended readers check out ...
Yuck by Yuck (self-titled): This is a new band from England. It's brand new, and its good-they are clearly influenced by mid-1990s indie rock. There is a song on here called "Suck," so when you play it your iPod will say "Suck - Yuck - Yuck"
Everything In Between by No Age: I've really been listening to this a lot. It's a massive wall of noise with great pop hooks buried underneath. I saw them open for Sonic Youth and Pavement at the Hollywood Bowl last fall and they set the tone perfectly.
Real Emotional Trash by Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks: The solo stuff from the former Pavement frontman is terrific, and this album is his best so far. Long, multi-part songs, epic guitar solos, aggressive drumming and ridiculous Malkmus lyrics make for a huge album.
News and entertainment from Joint Base Lewis-McChord’s most awesome weekly newspapers - The Ranger, Northwest Airlifter and Weekly Volcano.
