It's Music Monday and I'm here to take you to Better Music Land. So put away your Ray Boltz CD's and cut your poodle mullet...
Ahh, this is better. New Shearwater. Go download their new song "Rooks."
New Bon Iver video for "The Wolves (Act I and II)." What a beautiful and haunting song...
I'm listening to American Music Club's The Golden Age lately and really enjoying it. It's getting good reviews. From Pitchfork...
AMC's The Golden Age is appropriately obsessed with the hemorrhaging of time; many songs here find Eitzel grasping at the stuff even as it spurts through his fingers. "It's hard to love when you only see the dust," he mopes amid the wistful acoustic arpeggios of "All My Love". Eitzel's view of life as something one snatches from death's clutches, bit by bit, is the motif that drives the album. "Time is a current that only flows from warm hands to warm heart," he asserts on the darkly rushing "Decibels and Little Pills", after observing that "names are only good for grave stones."
Patrick Park has a new video out, "Here We Are". I hope you can get past the incredible technological breakthroughs in this video and just enjoy the music...
