Consuming music

Despite having a ton of songs that I've not yet listened to, I decided to have a little purge of my “albums I fancy buying” list. Starting off with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah* led me to Insound. They have a 25% off sale for new customers until September, so I went on a bit of a binge:

Feist — Let It Die

Sultry chanteuse, incredible voice, foxy.

Laura Cantrell — Humming By The Flowered Vine

14th Street is a poppy kind of masterpiece, so I thought I'd check this out.

Baxendale — You Will Have Your Revenge

One of the band members is from Reading, and they have the lyric “Keep your bittersweet symphonies / I'll break your legs if you stop me dancing”. It has to be good.

Mascott — Follow the Sound

They are/she is signed to Le Grand Magistery, and I liked the 30-second sample, so I'll take a chance.

Raising the Fawn — The North Sea

I have a couple of MP3s, and they're good….

Montag — Alone, Not Alone

Why not, eh?

I still managed to forget to get a Mirah album. Drat. Need… more… music….

I ought to write up the events of Friday, really, but I lack the energy! Regardless, here's a picture of me on a bike, Larry and myself at the start line, and me giving a mini-lecture, courtesy of Tingting. Just in case you've forgotten what I look like.

* Who, incidentally, are playing in San Francisco in October…

Sunday morning

Up for hours, Springsteen playing, just made coffee. Aren't Sundays beautiful?
