I have been discovering a lot of new music lately.
The Castanets new album is rockin'. I love the sparseness, the reverb, Raymond Raposa's voice. Oh, man, he even covered several of Hank William's songs, one of them being my favs, Weary Blues From Waiting. If you'd like, you can get it here.
That electronic grungy pop sound of The Big Pink is totally sound of the moment.
Despite giving into the man of Pitchfork, I am digging the sound of the xx, too. I mean, they're my age, tearing up the British indie music scene.
Taken By Trees new album is pretty neat. I like her little Swedish voice and international influences are always cool.
But I found this tune on my computer the other day, and (my friend) Mike keeps going on about this band The Pogues, so I listened to them. And then dragged the track onto my 'cute' playlist.
So classic, so good!

Woah. Talking about The Pogues, this comprehensive listing of a bunch of things Pogue-related just popped up on metafilter. Includes a bunch of cool background, like how Shane MacGowan was apparently part of a band called "The Nipple Erectors."

Whoa! How timely, brother.
'The Nips.' I like the sound of the that.
I love the strings at the end of this song, they are good.
Hey Yuan. So I don't have your e-mail and I'd really like to get together with you! Maybe we could e-mail each other and figure out a good time? My e-mail is h_amie@hotmail.com.
ps I did read your blog and I love your last post. I totally love Taken By Trees!
Cheers, Amie Haines
