Sufjan Stevens - All Delighted People EP

August 20th 2010 19:39

Sufjan Stevens is an odd bird.

Spooky, pop-y, humorous and banjo enthusiast all rolled into one. His true talent is that of arrangement. His songs usually beautifully constructed with a good use of instrumentation.

He has a new tour and an new EP available (stream for free).

Or go and pickup his record Illinois. I dare not to be creeped out - yet mesmerized by the song "John Wayne Gacy, Jr".

Gillian Welch (Where are you?)

August 17th 2010 00:56

I cannot believe it has been seven (SEVEN!) years since the last (proper) Gillian Welch record. Along with her partner David Rawlings, she put out some of the most consistently enjoyable folk/rock records of the last 20 years. Hurry back, G-dub. We miss you.

Avett Brothers - Laundry Room

July 23rd 2010 03:42

I have to admit that I didn't like the Avett Brothers latest LP "I and Love and You" when I first heard it. I loved "Emotionalism" and the two Gleam EPs. But after my first spin of I&L&Y, I said to myself, "Not enough banjos! Too many pianos

The Best Song You've Never Heard: Cars Can't Escape

July 23rd 2010 03:22

Wilco has a wealth of unreleased (or under-released) tracks. The holy grail of all of these is from the so-called YHF Engineer's Demos. It is a song called "Cars Can't Escape". It is such a beautiful and heartfelt tune with the apropos YHF era noise coda. But it's not just the haunting lyrics that make this The Song. Listen to the brilliant bass line and the subtle piano. The arrangement is just the perfect accompaniment to this piece. It is hard to imagine why it was not on the album

Beck's Record Club - Yanni?

July 6th 2010 01:39

Beck's Record Club has produced some interesting stuff. Full album covers of INXS, Velvet Underground and Skip Spence have been very enjoyable. However I gotta question the inspiration of Yanni's Live at the Acropolis record. Really? Seriously

I love NPR. I admit it. This American Life, Wait Wait Dont Tell Me, All Things Considered, A Prairie Home Companion ... all essential parts of my life.

What I didn't expect was NPR to be so, ..., how shall I say it? ... hip! Check out their top 50 of 2K10 (so far
