Being a diner, albeit a musical one, I`m always interested in providing you with a well-balanced meal. And as the evil headmaster at the end of a certain Pink Floyd song once rhetorically asked, “how can you have any pudding if you don`t eat your meat?!” That was pretty traumatic for me, and I`m sure it stunted the growth of a generation or two.
But we are pretty much going to take it in that order this week. The appetizer is indeed meat: Uncle Meat and the Highway Children. They get my award for best band name I`ve heard in a long while, but don`t let the name scare you off. The track we`re going to play is a nice, folkie but driving tune.

Of course, we`re going to save room for dessert, and nothing finishes off a meal better than an ice cream sundae. However, we`re going to spell it “Sunday” this week, and I`ll just let you know that it`s sung by one of the finest vocalists to hit these shores in a long while: Field. And pick your shore—any shore will do—he`s just that good! (I normally don`t like to give away which tracks I`m playing, but it`s the only way to make this analogy work.)

But what comes in between the appetizer and dessert? Well, some of the other tasty morsels on our plate this week include The Taters, from Richmond, Virginia. We`ve been playing a lot of tracks from their current release, Menagerie. But this week, we`ve rummaged through the back room of the Tuesday Night Diner to find a track off of one of their earlier albums. I`m sure Craig and Brad won`t mind me playing an older cut, at least just this once.

Keeping the bands with food-related names theme going, we`ll also feature another track by Los Angeles-based Maple Mars, off their brand new album Galaxyland. Rick Hromadka`s really put together a psychedelic masterpiece, and I`m looking forward to serving a piece up for you!

And finally, perhaps you`d rather have a slightly different dessert—perhaps a good old-fashioned banana split. Splitsville is a terrific power pop band from Baltimore, Maryland who`ve been around for about a decade, and put out a definitive compilation album called “Let`s Go: The Best of Splitsville”, which culls the best tracks from their five albums. Lots of gems clocking in at around 2:30 or under, which is how they`ve managed to stuff 25 tracks onto a single disc.

So that`s this week`s meal. High in calories, high in good taste!
