One of the many songs in my playlist that I just like. It feels right.

A Saturday Post

mp3: “Blood” – The Middle East
I can’t really hear the lyrics well enough to understand them, but I am drawn to the mood of this song. The melancholy and then bells and light. It caught me in the first few seconds and then I was pleasantly surprised with the end.
Album: Recordings of The Middle East
The Middle East-MySpace

mp3: “Heart to Tell” – The Love Language
I love the turn this takes at about 33 seconds in (I can often tell where a song is headed, but I didn’t see this coming), I appreciate the retro sound…and the smiles it left me with. Is it a break up/troubled relationship song?
Album: I can’t find one…possibly Libraries?…maybe it’s not released yet.
Here is a link to their label: Merge Records: The Love Language
The Love Language-MySpace

mp3: “Brother” – Color of Clouds
I fell in love with this one right away. It’s soft and slightly swingy, though sad.
Album (or EP in this case): The Look
Color of Clouds-MySpace

mp3: “I Was Denied” – Thee Oh Sees
Another song with a retro sound (so many lately!). A banger. It’s loud and bit rough, but like it? I do!
Thee Oh Sees-MySpace

I can’t link to these songs, but check out this Daytrotter session with Josh Ritter (check it out when you have some time to listen, it’s good):

A Wednesday Mix

mp3: “Ice Age” – Ten Centuries
New to me this week, but I’m liking what I hear!
Album: White Pines
Ten Centuries-MySpace

mp3: “Loxtep” – Annuals
Give it a minute and then maybe another listen.  I’ve really enjoyed Annuals in the past, I like this too…very much. Speaking of the past, I still have a special fondness for “Sore” , it gets me right here *points to heart*.
Album: Sweet Sister
Annuals-MySpace

mp3: “Symphonies” – Dan Black
I like it, but I liked it a little better when it was HYPNTZ and I like it even more with Kid Cudi (<—links to respective videos).
Album: UN
Dan Black-MySpace

mp3: “The Way We Get By” – Spoon
Not new, but there are so many memories attached to this song (I love that about music!), when I heard it the other day, I felt the need to share.
Album: Kill the Moonlight
Spoon-MySpace

Pick up a free (and legal!!) mp3 of one of my newest favorite songs ”In Spain” by Vadoinmessico here at RCRD LBL! Here is the video that turned me on to it and them:
