Music Beautiful
I'm listening to Brave New Waves tonight and it fills me with a great hope for the future. The first song was by a band called The Fiery Furnaces and seemed very Stephen Merritish but that is probably the best backhanded compliment you could ever make. Now playing is The Hidden Cameras' Mississauga Goddamn from their recent release.
Everyone should listen.
I just now heard a song by Joanna Newsom who has a style similar to a female Vic Chesnutt which is a very good thing indeed.
I just heard what may be my song of the year by a group called Herman Dune
Julie Doiron is in the spotlight tonight and if her first song is any indication she should have been in record collection years ago. I think her name did make the big list but the big list is usually full of many a big miss. I know she was in that band but I guess I never paid attention until now. Maybe I can blame it on my terrible eyesight...
