An alphabetical list of great music I found through my fellow Moggers. (great great album!)

I did not have the bucks to continually delve into the new records of 2007. So here are just a few thoughts. I did not have any singular compelling dance or electronic record strike me, which was disappointing. That might explain my increasing fondness for reggae and dub, it was the best place to get that melody and rhythm fix. So obviously without much good electronic I listened to a lot of rock and roll too. One big disappointment for me was the new Ponys' record, i... MORE

Slowly sorting through the cache of single tracks I've picked up free over the past few months from Paste and Emusic and looking into the artists and albums. Love this song and am eager to download more, starting with the title track "Postwar."

...and that's that. :)

Nothing bad ever happens to me - I'm an incredibly lucky person. I was reminded of this last week when I turned my stereo on and the speakers gave a loud pop and then a long low fizz and nothing else. My receiver is broken. This means nothing, really. It's just equipment, a possession, something I lug around with me every time I move. It's easily replaceable and more than likely easily reparable.

It's rare for me to stumble across songs that I like on first hearing. But I woke to this song on my clock radio the other day, and dug it straight away; lyrically and musically. Here's the live version: I've since got the album, and it's a gem.

This is a cool cover of the Richard Thompson song, "When I Get To The Border," which first appeared on Richard & Linda Thompson's debut, 1974's I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight.

i posted this a few months ago but was going back through it and realized that here is one cover that i don't mind so much... "so, you know how it is. end of the semester is wrapping up and all i feel like listening to is some nice, calm, and soothing music. well, this cover by M. Ward seems to be a great choice. love it."

I love M. Ward. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE send me to his concert in San Francisco...

Vincent O'Brien from the album on Merge called The Transfiguration of Vincent.

Is there anyone out there making music that comes across as authentic as Matt Ward's? Part throw-back, all songwriter, M. makes kind of music that, decades from now, won't show the first signs of aging. (The song is from his 7/29/04 performance at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC)

Is this the right place??? I want to win M. Ward Tickets!

Pretty good song by singer/song-writer, Matt Ward. It's from the album Transistor Radio.
