Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin I haven't gotten my hands on any of this stuff yet, but I'm curious about these top five. Anybody have any recommendations this week?
Top Five New Releases:
Norfolk & Western: Unsung Colony (Hush) – He plays guitar with M. Ward so you know he’s got skills. They’ve got Theremins and glockenspiels. At the Hotel Café on 12/1/06. Download “A Gilded Age”
The Skygreen Leopards: Disciples of California (Jagjaguwar) – These hippies don’t sound too bad. You don’t see too many bands that list Brewer & Shipley first in a list of influences. Download “Disciples of California”
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin: Broom (Polyvinyl) – This record was previously self-released but now Polyvinyl’s releasing it with three additional tracks. Not that many bands from Springfield, MO. Chris Walla seems to like them and Spin threw out the Shins reference. These songs are both pleasant indie rock. Download “Oregon Girl” and “House Fire”
Various Artists: The Harry Smith Project – Anthology of American Folk Music Revisited (Shout Factory) – Culled from the series of concerts from 1999-2001 that paid tribute to Smith. A two CD live collection of artists like Beck, Wilco, Van Dyke Parks, Lou Reed doing classic folk, along with a live DVD and a DVD documentary.
The Walkmen: Pussy Cats Starring the Walkmen (Record Collection) – The Walkmen recreate the Harry Nilsson album that John Lennon recorded during his lost weekend. I’ve been listening to my share of Nilsson lately, and it seems like he’s definitely having resurgence in attention. Pitchfork seemed perplexed that they would release this, and it is a bit odd.
Also Released:
+ / - : Let’s Build a Fire (Absolutely Kosher) – Brooklyn indie rockers are going on tour with Irving. Live at Spaceland on 11/16. Download “Steal the Blueprints”
Jello Biafra: In the Grip of Official Treason (Alternative Tentacles) – A 3-CD release. Jello’s eighth spoken word record. From the AT site: “With Iraq gone to hell in a handbasket, Rome falling at home, and the so-called opposition Democrats "searching for a message" as they throw another election, it's high time for Jello Biafra and his merry mouth to tip the cow and set the barn on fire.” Live at El Rey on 11/20.
Bright Eyes: Noise Floor (Saddle Creek) – Oh Conor. Compilation of hard to find stuff.
The Curtains: Calamity (Asthmatic Kitty) – This guy used to be in Deerhoof. Pitchfork gave it a pretty good review yesterday. Download “Go Lucky”
De La Soul: Impossible Mission (Red Lion Entertainment) – I go back and listen to 3 Feet High and Rising every once in a while.
Miho Hatori: Ecdysis (Rykodisc) – Do you remember Cibo Matto?
Aimee Mann: One More Drifter in the Snow (Superego Records) – Do you remember ‘Til Tuesday? At the Avalon on 12/9.
Moby: go – the very best of moby (V2) – Do you remember Moby?
Willie Nelson: Hill Country Christmas (Finer Arts)
Scott Walker: In Five Easy Pieces (Fontana) – A five disc box set of 93 remastered songs.
Sparta: Threes (Hollywood) – Live at the Avalon on 11/13.
Various: The World Is Gone (XL Recordings) – Electro-pop.
Lucinda Williams: Car Wheels on a Gravel Road (Mercury) – She’s very talented and this is one of her two essential records. A two-disc remastered version. The second disc is a live disc from 1998. Appearing at Royce Hall on 11/30.
