Weird Fishes/Arpeggi - Radiohead



Its been a while since Radiohead offered downloads of its album -In Rainbows- on a contribution basis ... surprised this song didn't stand out sooner with its constant beat and progressing layers. Check out the in-studio video -------->

Sea of Love- Cat Power



Originally recorded in 1959 by Phil Phillips, Cat Power covered it on "The Covers Record" (2000) and now it has resurfaced in the movie Juno. So simple, so full of emotion.

Violator - White Williams



This song brought me back to Of Montreal's 2005 album The Sunlandic Twins. A silly beat with casual vocals. Vi-Vi-vi-violataaa a a

Boy Void - No Age



Just found out this duo will be opening for the Liars on Feb. 1st (Marquis Theater)- same night as Blood on the Wall. Which will be the better show? I'm waiting to hear Blood on the Wall's new album Liferz to decide - out Jan. 22nd. Anyway, read a write up in the New Yorker a while back for No Age - a key band to the current LA punk scene. Here's what the review said about Boy Void -

One of No Age’s most accessible songs, “Boy Void,” could be a seven-inch punk-rock single from the early eighties. “Saw a horse, he ran into the back of the room, where the children go to cry,” Spunt hollers, banging a relentless eighth-note beat on a floor tom. The words of the chorus are “It’s so obvious, so obvious”—though it’s not obvious what he means.

Patty Lee - Les Savy Fav


Solid indie rock song with a catchy guitar riff.

Watch the unspectacular video!

Greetings from the Dead Letter Office

Dear Brothers M.

Today was the first time I've visited this cyber-commune in a long, long, too long a time. I miss it. My heart ached at how much has passed in the past few months. My ears are going numb. We MUST go see more music. We must write about it.

Signed, your wayward playmate.
VP.

A Picture of Our Torn Up Praise - Phosphorescent


"Tell me where you've been and I will tell you where I've been, it will be ok" - a good line and a nice conclusion for a song. If you like Will Oldham, aka Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, you'll like Phosphorescent ... assuming you can get past the thought that they're the same person.
