1. NYC Taper posted recording of a recent Tortoise performance in New York at (le) Poisson Rouge. It’s a pretty solid recording, but even the worst hiccups are worth it for what was a pretty stellar set. The set opens with “Prepare Your Coffin” from their new disc Beacons of Ancestorship, which might be my [...]
[The Dusty Shelf is a weekly column that showcases a tragically overlooked album from the music snob's library.]
