Today's edition of the Memphis Mystery Train was possibly the most fun I've ever had on the radio. Here's why: 1. I not only played a Beyonce cover, but I managed to work R. Kelly's classic "Sex in the Kitchen" into the mix. 2. The Shondes from Brooklyn, New York came into the studio, fresh off of their show at the Hi-Tone. They talked about Memphis, Brooklyn, and their brand new record, "Searchlights", which comes out later this month. 3. I convinced Fury from the Shondes to read my all-time favorite PSA (helper monkeys) on air. Here's what I played on this week's show, with the local tracks marked with an asterisk: Pixies - This Monkey's Gone to Heaven The Egyptians - The Party Stomp Marie Knight - Hey Tell Me Boy New Pornographers - Sing Me Spanish Techno Paul Simon - Mother and Child Reunion Yo La Tengo - Emulsified Hold Steady - Your Little Hoodrat Friend Elvis Costello - Radio Sweetheart The Clash - Brand New Cadillac *Amy LaVere - You Can't Keep Me MGMT - Kids June Brides - Every Conversation Pomplamoose - Single Ladies (Beyonce cover) Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs - No Help Coming Belle and Sebastian - I'm a Cuckoo France Gall - Poupee de Cire Poupee de Son Shondes - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Bikini Kill - I Wish I Was Him Gino Washington - I'll Be Around When You Want Me Those Darlins - DUI or Die R.
