RIBS & Dirty Dishes on MIT Radio.

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Our friends Dirty Dishes* did a live set on WMBR 88.1 FM and reported that the station started playing our song “Silencer” immediately after their set, unbeknownst to either of us. The heavens must be smiling upon our July 25th Boston show with them (official announcement coming soon).

  • Dirty Dishes live set @ 1:07:20
  • “Silencer” @ 1:44:40

*No really, they’re literally our actual real-life friends, not like in the “every band we play with magically becomes our friends” sense.

Thanks to Alan Cross (@AlanCross) and the ExploreMusic team for featuring us and to the fans who sent us in. From the radio version:

“I WANNA START WITH A LISTENER TIP. A COUPLE OF PEOPLE STUMBLED ACROSS THIS BAND FROM BOSTON AND SENT A LINK MY WAY. THEY’RE CALLED RIBS—AND THEY’RE ONE OF THE MOST BRITISH-SOUNDING AMERICAN BANDS I’VE HEARD IN A WHILE….FOUR GUYS…THERE’S A LITTLE MUSE IN WHAT THEY DO, MAYBE SOME OLD-SCHOOL VERVE, MAYBE SOME JOY DIVISION—AND THEN THEY MIX THAT WITH A LITTLE DEFTONES AND QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE….”

From ExploreMusic’s Wikipedia page:

With online being the first choice of more and more people looking for new music, the decision was made to create a service where “real people, real passionate music fans, could recommend music to other real passionate music fans, without any sort of mechanical or electronic filters.”[1] The concept was inspired by the success of Pandora and Last.fm.[1] However, while Pandora and Last.fm work on complex algorithms, ExploreMusic was designed as a place where music fans could turn to discover new music and information about the artists involved, as well as be encouraged to make recommendations themselves with the goal of creating conversation and community.

The show has 1 million weekly listeners (five half-hour shows each week). Thanks to whoever sent us in.
