I'm going to South by Southwest next year. By all accounts, the stuff showcased this year was totally killer and I feel dumb for missing it. Happy Birthday JP!

Austere - The Joy Formidable >> http://www.mediafire.com/?vdiz1unynyd

Well crafted dream-pop with nice sweet girly vocals. Yum! And catchy too!

Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit >> http://www.mediafire.com/?fjdyya5819l

Good advice for anyone. And he's Scotch (I think)!

1922 Blues - Charlie Parr >> http://www.mediafire.com/?tdbqdml8eut

Normally, I dislike blues intensely. Especially blues played by living people. And especially especially by living, white people. Its a direct result of suffering a thriving white-guy blues scene in Chicago and at the same time, not being able to get shows for my own band. I'm not saying my stuff was better, but at least it was original and authentic. I have to make an exception in this case, both because this isn't exactly blues and because it has a 'shiney' quality that fascinates me.

Stand And Deliver - The Young Knives >> http://www.mediafire.com/?dxj4hg9mmn0

If AC-DC had had a new wave side project, this is what it would sound like.

Hold On - Emmy The Great >> http://www.mediafire.com/?mv31i0w735w

The tender vocal harmonies and vulnerable pose of this song drew me in. The "lets make lemonade out of these lemons" story kept me listening. A bit like Madeline Adams, whom I also love.

Pale Blue Eyes - R.E.M >> http://www.mediafire.com/?itmyitdkz7y

Neither the song or band are new, but... Its an R.E.M. cover of Pale Blue Eyes! One of my favorite bands doing a cover of one of my all time favorite VU songs.

Raise The Black Flag

How did my day go?!!

Not well. Not well at all...

Yeesh! It's been almost a month! Life, love and travel have conspired against our mission of spreading aural neophilia and freedom of information! New York is huge. People are complicated. You can't do it all but you can try. We're back in the saddle! Yee haw!!!!!


MGMT - Time To Pretend >> http://www.mediafire.com/?bfeokybfxyz

These guys have a nice poppy electronica feel similar to The Magnetic Fields but not as cynical.


Moofish Catfish - Lightbulb >> http://www.mediafire.com/?dimdbnctgmy

If the Moldy Peaches made a do-wop single, this would be what it would sound like. Pretty fun. And by fun, i mean sweet and punk and kind of retarded.


Black Diamond Heavies - Track 01 >> http://www.mediafire.com/?azuyzymby1f

Tom Waits-esqe, and dirtier than a Manhattan subway. The keyboard and drums are really killer and the singer sounds like he's singing through a microphone made out of the a payphone handset.


The Felice Brothers - Wonderful Life >> http://www.mediafire.com/?dmnhevm1mtf

Somewhere, east of the Rocky Mountains, is a doppleganger of me that is satisfied with a small town life and simple love and sad cowboy songs. I hope we never meet. I want one of us to be at peace.


Redbird - You Are The Everything >> http://www.mediafire.com/?imz0dtayga3

My favorite REM song, folkified for a dirtier generation.


Love!
