[Mr. Spinnington]

To start this off, I think everyone who likes music should listen to The Go Find. It's so good, and dawning on me like when Postal Service hit. Absolutely dreamy and perfect for those lonely evening drives downtown.

Then a female artist I just discovered. Maybe someone's heard of her, but she's a very good listen. Her music comes in French and English, this being one of her French albums, and I'm impressed to find an artist who pays so much attention to each song the way she does. The album here is called Desormais.

And this may be old, but I have not seen it posted on GA forums, so I thought I'd point out Penguin Café Orchestra. They're plenty of fun to listen to, especially if you're a fan of The Books or The Album Leaf. Indeed, it is an orchestra, and the songs all catchy and manage to pale most other artists in the creativity department.

Also don't know if anyone's heard of Ben Gibbard' side project, All-Time ¡Quarterback!. It's this rather short thing he did on his own, and it's a treat as is anything he puts out. There's more on ATQ here: http://www.barsuk.com/web.cgi?atq

From the Garden State Soundtrack, I love him and so should you. Colin James Hay:

Lastly would be the Fruit Bats. My god, they're good. Absolutely stunning to listen to folk music.

And finally, some artists who deserve secondary recognition because you may not have looked into them the first time!

TV On The Radio
The Veils
Paloalto
On!Air!Library!
Four Tet
Lemon Jelly
Jets to Brazil
Teitur

ms doiron's goodnight nobody was, in fact, on my top 5 albums of the year recently. i also caught her on her recent tour (phil doing backup vocals for ce charmant coeur <3). i'll check out the fruit bats.

if you want more of doiron, listen to the following albums (in this order):

broken girl
heart and crime
j.doiron and the wooden stars
loneliest in the morning
goodnight nobody (a capstone)
eric's trip - forever again
last step: die of happiness

Prosaics. A local band.. they sound very much like Joy Division (musically). Dress in the whole 'noir chic' style a la Interpol... etc. The music is great, though, even if it is derivative.. at least it's derivative of something good. Check out the songs "Teeth" and "Failure" from their ]Aghast Agape EP. An album will be out next year.

MP3 of Teeth available here: http://www.matadorrecords.com/prosaics/music.html



Also check out the band HAIL SOCIAL

Saw them opening for Interpol... they have a sort of dance-punk-ish vibe I guess, but they're pretty good. They don't have anything out that you can buy in stores... they were selling a Tour Sampler at the show and I picked it up. Try and find the song "Need More Time" is you can... PM me or search for it on SLSK.



Why do I... keep typing....like this.... ?
