parting of the ways

I was tempted to include Greg Kihn here, but this will do for now.

The Knight Brothers - I'm Never Gonna Live It Down
Jean Stanback - I Still Love You
Tindersticks - Tiny Tears (BBC Session)
The Afghan Whigs - When We Two Parted (Live, Philadelphia 1996.05.28)
Soulsavers - You Will Miss Me When I Burn
Centro-Matic - For New Starts
Gerald Collier - Boozin' Time

Death Comes To Town

This starts tonight on CBC.... I can't believe dave Foley still looks good* in drag.
Trying not to let me expectations get too high.





*looks like a woman

closing out the year...

So, in no particular order here are some of this year's tunes that floated to the top of my playlists

Lee Fields & The Expressions - Do You Love Me Like You Say You Do
My Latest Novel - The Greatest Shakedown
Obits - Fake Kinkade
New Ruins - Lake
Priestess - Lady Killer
The Motorleague - Fossils
John Vanderslice - D.I.A.L.O.
I Was A King - Norman Bleik (can Teenage Fanclub sue for this?)
Hildur Gudnadottir - Erupting Light
Fanfarlo - Drowning Men (acoustic version)
Dead Man's Bones - Name In Stone (Live Version) (stuck in my head more than any other song this year)
Dark Night Of The Soul - Daddy's Gone
The Breeders - The Last Time (Best Mark Lanegan appearance of the year)
Black Moth Super Rainbow - American Face Dust
Benjy Ferree - Fear
Big Star - Life Is White (Demo) (Keep An Eye On The Sky is pretty much the perfect box set)
Bear In Heaven - Deafening Love
BEAK> - Blagdon Lake

For 2010 I'm looking forward to these:
Tindersticks - Black Smoke
Ted Leo - Even Heroes Have to Die

And hoping for something new/touring throught my town by the reunited Rival Schools - Accept The Compliment (and the reunited Soundgarden for that matter)
