"Camp Radio is a powerful rock tour-de-force harkening back to the glory days of The Nils and Husker Du." The kids over at Kelp decided to introduce me to this little known band, and at first I wasn't too sure about it. I was never a large Husker Du fan, but as MFKWCRG put it, I hear a little Ted Leo in there too upon closer listening. Not bad at all. So if you like any of the names dropped so far, I recommend you check these guys out.

From their self-titled album, available now at Kelp Records:
On The Landing Strip
Cons at the New Moon
The Julie Rationale

In other news, Milwaukee is full of drunk people. I love it. Last night I got to watch Ray Davies perform some classic Kinks hits, and Nine Inch Nails fogged themselves out of any pictures I tried to take with their damn smoke machines.
