First time to see Built to Spill live - even though we share the same hometown and they've been around since '92 and they tour regularly and they put on a good show! Playing for well over an hour, they covered a lot of ground and I'm glad to say I've seen and heard Boise's biggest claim to worthwhile indie rock.
Video from the show - Goin' Against Your Mind from their 2006 album - You in Reverse

Shake a Fist - Hot Chip
"Now if you have a pair of headphones you better get'm out and get'm cranked up - cause they're really gunna help you." - Hot Chip
One of the rougher and experimental songs from their recent album - Made in the Dark. Still a song for the club, but with an edge that goes beyond the pop scene.

the workin man's Lily Allen
Foundations- Kate Nash
My good friend in London turned me on to this gal. He quotes, "Blighty just can't seem to get enough of her." Not my fav song on the album, Made of Bricks, but seemed like an appropriate intro since the song is all over the place in Britain.
Here's the video....

Blood On The Wall (live) - Junkeee... Julieee...
This was a good show: easy-going personalities keepin' it loud and simple. They didn't play "Acid Fight" which is the greatest song in the history of the universe, but I didn't think they would. The Larimer Lounge is the best venue, even when it's cold.

I Stand Corrected - Vampire Weekend
New York indie band - band members met while attending Columbia. The vocals are familiar and the drums are crisp. Short and to the point - fitting for the line "I stand corrected."

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 -------->

Older, old....and now somewhat new
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.
new A-Bird
this one's for Patty, in case she visits us at some point in the near future:

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.
