Seems we keep coming back to Daytrotter in recent weeks. Already, twice in the past two months–when the studio recorded My Brightest Diamond, and then again when the studio recorded Ben Kweller–we’ve linked to the tour-stop recordings made at this little, but well-known (thanks, Internet!) Illinois studio. Now let’s go for a third: Denton’s own Fishboy got the Daytrotter just this past Saturday. Check it out right here.
The studio’s written words accompanying the piece are, well, a little incoherent and the recording isn’t really up to the studio’s own high bar–but I’m just nitpicking, maybe.
Either way, it’s worth your stopping by their site and downloading the free tracks–all four of which come from Fishboy’s 2007 release, Albatross: How We Failed to Save the Lone Star State With the Power of Rock and Roll.
There’s a whole lotta Denton talk from Fishboy mastermind Eric Michener in his comments on the site, too, which I’m sure Dentonites will appreciate–like, for instance, he says “There are a lot of great tacos in Denton, TX” in reference to his song “Taqueria Girl”.

Me? I’ve never had tacos in Denton, I don’t think. Wonder if Michener’s got any tips…
Update: As an interesting aside, it should be noted that this session was recorded in December 2007 and was only now posted, for whatever reason.
