Music For Your Rears
I know it is ugly and I know the sound quality is not that crash hot (I am going to try to fix both those problems) but at least it plays music.
I am talking about the new player in the sidebar, dumbass!
You know I love spouting out about the music I love so it is just another outlet for me to annoy you like I always have. I'll try to keep the songs rotatin' (hell, it is not like I have anything else to do!).
This week's ditties:
Elbow: Station Approach - Awesome opener from the new album. These guys have finally found a real sound.
The Stills: Gender Bombs - More from the band I harped on about last week. My favourite track from "Logic Will Break Your Heart".
Placebo: Blind - From their new album. This one goes out to Samara and her bewildering fascination for androgenous Belgians.
A.C. Newman: Drink To Me Babe, Then - Excellent solo effort from the mastermind behind The New Pornographers.
The Decemberists: The Mariner's Revenge Song - A sea shanty from the master storytellers.
Coco Rosie: Beautiful Boys - Esoteric electro-reggae/hip-hop/opera from the band that supported Antony on his recent gig in Melbourne (now he is supporting them).
Sufjan Stevens: The Dress Looks Nice On You - Sufjan... 'nuff said.'
Tapes 'n Tapes: The Illiad - Interesting and ecclectic style from the new darlings of the indie scene.
The New Pornographers: Use It - So hard to choose a song from these guys, every one is a gem.
Belle and Sebastian: Judy And The Dream Of Horses - Off the recent live recording of "If You're Feeling Sinister". The sound is so fleshed out, it is like a whole new B+S album, only from their classic years! Priceless!

wow your blog is so high tech! that sufjan song is probably my favourite.
just thought i'd let you know that i've been enjoying your blog muchly.
hey i ended up buying a new camera after being inspired by those death cab pics you linked to on flickr! i got my own flickr account but there is nothing on there yet.
The radio.blog player is giving me the shits and it sounds shit.
I want it to sound THE shit! Next time I'll put fewer songs on and put them at higher quality. I only have 10 meg of webspace. If anyone wants to donate some, feel free.
That Sufjan song is great. It is from Seven Swans and I read somewhere that many prefer it to Illinois so I thought I'd give it another listen.
Darren, I reckon you should check out The Books' "Lost and Safe". You'll like! Try "An Animated Description Of Mr. Maps" first. Lovely sonic atmospherics.
Congrats on the new cam, too. Let me know when you put some photos up.
