I was sitting outside Portland, Ore.'s Someday Lounge two nights ago following an incredible live performance by London's The Real Tuesday Weld when Stephen Coates—main man behind the band—told me he wasn't afraid of death. "My experience of death has been really positive," he told me. "When my father died he wasn't scared—he was completely fortunate about the time he had here." Clearly Coat

I just discovered The Real Tuesday Weld today, thanks to a friend linking me to one of their songs on youtube. I've fallen in love with Stephen Coates's strange yet beautiful genre (which I can't even begin to pigeonhole).

I haven't posted a Saturday track in a while but I felt like it today given that I have to work until at least 1 A.M. tonight (working retail on the last Saturday before Christmas).
