Dave Allen says, “Pocket aka Richard Jankovich has remixed Slippershell by Kristin Hersh and a fine job he’s done of it too. Two musicians, new to Portland, finding common ground.”

This week on Easier Than Reading, join your host Andrew R. Tonry on another fun-filled music adventure. Find out what live music you need to check out this week, plus hear tunes from bands including Xiu Xiu (pictured above), Lifesavas, Brother Ali, and much, much MORE!

This week on Savage Lovecast:

A straight woman with a high libido is stuck with a man who feels that there are better things to do than have sex. DTMFA?

A gay man is stuck with a moocher who would rather surf porn than get a job. DTMFA?

With the help of guest expert Soraya Galeas from Planned Parenthood, Dan answers some condom-failure, lesbian-STI, and hepatitis C questions.

Finally, the kissing test. A gay man often ends up with partners who don’t like kissing, and the relationship never lasts. Sigh.

Want in? Call 206-201-2720 and leave your question in the voicemail box. If you don’t mind Dan following up with you, leave your phone number as well.

Welcome back to Your Radio Sucks, where we spill your milk all over the place. This week, your host Ned Lannamann plays cuts from new releases and upcoming shows, with music from Ladyhawk, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, the A-Sides, A Weather, Capgun Coup, the Ruby Suns (pictured), Weinland, and the Flamin’ Groovies. Now, there’s no sense in crying over spilled milk; we’ll get some paper towels.

Dave Allen says:

Stephen Malkmus has announced through his MySpace page that he and the Jicks will play for free at Portland’s Satyricon on the same day their new album Real Emotional Trash is released.

You will need a wristband to get into the show. Wristbands will be available for pick up at Music Millennium’s eastside location between 5 pm and 7 pm on the day of the show. Music Millennium’s eastside location is at 3158 East Burnside. The telephone number there is 503 231-8926. They will also have the band’s new album, Real Emotional Trash, on sale for $11.99. Hey, the show is free, so maybe you should buy a copy, right?

ALSO, wristbands will be available at the club at the normal door times. However, THIS SHOW IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVED, so get there early and stay in line.”
