mimicking birds

for fans of weed and modest mouse http://www.mediafire.com/?lz12mz2xok2 here is a song to preview http://youtu.be/kTo5pBEg7ts

I'm mildly obsessed with these two songs now...

Check out this version of Lover's Spit - with a girl vocalist. The youtbe video is pretty cool also.

Also, I just found out that BSS did a number of songs for the Half Nelson soundtrack (which is a great movie in itself. Gosling is basically off the charts.)

1. Shampoo Suicide

2. Lover's Spit

Fantastic transition from Billy Bragg to BSS too in that second scene.

Live Version of Lover's Spit

Wow.

... of the Week

Song - 'Festival' Sigur Ros. Definitely rewards patience, but the lift for the second half of the song is killer. I do not think any band evokes the sort of emotion that these guys do.

They use this one to close out the movie '127 hours' too.

Album - 'No Fuckin Messiah' Pearl Jam. Courtesy Trabs and McChets. From the days you could buy a 10 song bootleg for $50 from Sound Chaser.

Wilco Headlined Festival - Western, MA

Any takers?

Disc from 'The Sheepdogs' Late 60s and 70s sounding rock. I think it sounds like a mix of Allmans, NY, Some The Doors with the keys. Good stuff.

The Pale King

Nothing to do with music...Posthumous David Foster Wallace book, The Pale King, is being released April 15. This was in process when he committed suicide and apparently much of it was already complete - meaning those that are publishing now only had to organize his writing and did not add anything to it.

Read this guy's stuff. I could give you a bunch of superlatives and other adjectives to try and convince you to get into him, but just trust me on this one.

A few of his essays are here at Harper's. The final posting on that Harper's page is an excerpt from The Pale King.

great live thom yorke with a lot of unreleased music http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VAGWETKU

Ashes to Ashes

This song's been in heavy rotation. It's not new, but it's not well-known either, so I figured I'd share it. Raw, ominous guitar, gritty vocals, and Dylan-esque lyrics. Give it a listen.

... of the Week

Album: 'Z' - MMJ. Is this their finest or do you go with It Still Moves? Higher TALL for me is probably 'It Still Moves' but 'Z' cannot be far behind. Either way, 'Z' is in heavy rotation right now.

They really know how to close a record too:

It Still Moves - Just One Thing, Steam Engine, One in the Same
Z - Lay Low, Knot Comes Loose, and Dondante

Song: 'Salt in the Wound' - Delta Spirit
