Music Post

My roommate K (soon to be former roommate) just requested that I post about my recently acquired music.  Probably so that she can steal it from me later.  I will post acquired albums and if I'm particularly bored possibly even write a few comments about them.  Today's post will be quite long because I just got a bunch of stuff from I, the co-DJ of my radio show.  So here it is - my recently added list.

• 31Knots - Worried Well: eh...
• Alias - Resurgam
• Azeda Booth - In Flesh Tones: this sounds like a female vocalist, but the band is actually all men.  Smooth and pretty.
• Black Kids - Partie Traumatic
• The Cave Singers - Invitation Songs
• CSS - Donkey: more consistent overall, I think, than in the past, but no stand-out songs like their classic "Let's Make Love..."
• Daedelus - Love to Make Music To: I really like the song Fair Weather Friends.  Not sure about the rest.
• Dr. Dog - Fate
• The Duke Spirit - Neptune
• Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes: Tiger Mountain Peasant Song makes me want to cry...in a nice way
• Horse Feathers - Words are Dead & House with No Home: beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
• Lackthereof - Your Anchor: one of the guys from Menomena - I like it so far
• Lykke Li - Youth Novels: oh, sweet Swedish pop, I do love you
• The New Year - The New Year
• Conor Oberst - Conor Oberst: so far - I am reminded of the fact that I don't really like Bright Eyes
• Okkervil River - The Stand-Ins: album was so-so until I saw them live.  Now it is fabulous.
• One for the Team - Build it Up
• The Shaky Hands - Lunglight
• She Keeps Bees - Nests: sounds like PJ Harvey/Cat Power.  Which means I think it is ok, but others may really like it.
• Silver Jews - American Water: the lead singer's voice reminds me of Stephen Malkmus, but not as good.
• Talkdemonic - Eyes at Half Mast
• The Ting Tings - We Started Nothing
• The Uglysuit - The Uglysuit
• The Walkmen - a bunch of albums: not sure I'm sold on them yet
• The Wedding Present - El Rey: not sure I like them so far - deleted...
