Tonight at 7pm CST, the Thursday Casserole is so excited to debut our exclusive interview with James Felice, Josh Rawson, Greg Farley and Dave Estabrook of the New York-based Felice Brothers!

The music industry has lost another true visionary in Benjamin Curtis who lost his battle with cancer yesterday. He was 35 years old. Benjamin Curtis was the guitar player and background vocalist for one of our favorite bands, Secret Machines. He went on to be the producer and guitarists for School of Seven Bells. Prior to Secret Machines he was in other bands, always making music.

We've always had the utmost respect for him and his music. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his brother Brandon and all of his friends and loved ones.  He will be greatly missed but we'll continue to appreciate the music he has given us.

Tune in Thursday, July 11 at 6pm (CST) to hear an exclusive interview with Silversun Pickups drummer Christopher Guanlao.

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving. Most likely you will be filled with a great feast of excellent food. Ironically enough that Thanksgiving feast won't include Thursday Casserole, as we won't be on the air. BUT... this week we will get you prepared for Thanksgiving with a feast of our own.

As you know Record Store Day is having some exclusives for Black Friday. And let me be the first to tell you they are damn good! Check em out yourself. So we will be playing our favorite selections from the Black Friday Record Store Day exclusives.

But that's not all! On that note, Chef Jeff and Chef Pam will be debating the future of physical music. And we'd love to hear from you as well. Give us your thoughts or opinions on the topic. Feel free to call us at WXAV 773-298-3386 or email us at Thursdaycasserole@gmail.com.

But there's more! Thanks to WXAV we also have an exclusive interview with a little band you might have heard of called Coldplay!

I don't know what I think about music made for video game soundtracks but frankly at the end of the day it is music. And in this case brand new music from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and it is awesome. You can hear the track here. 
BRMC bassist Robert Been tells Rolling Stone, "The developers of the game contacted us to see if we were interested in the project. We've never worked with video game developers before and figured it would be a different kind of challenge." 
The soundtrack, Batman: Arkham City, also features the likes of the Duke Spirit and the Raveonettes.

"Time Spent In Los Angeles" is the first single from my album of the year thus far, Nothing is Wrong. Give Dawes some love and check out their new video...
