Easter Carols
Written on March 23, 2008
OK, these songs have nothing to do with Easter but are some of the best tracks zipping around the interweb this week. They are late and sparse due to an iMac meltdown. Hey Apple, I thought your OS was meant to be stable?!
Liam Finn, son of Crowded House front man Neil Finn, released his debut solo LP “I’ll Be Lightning” earlier this year on Yep Roc.
MP3: Liam Finn- “Second Chance”
Keeping things in the family, Rufus’ sister and Loudon’s daughter Martha Wainwright has a new LP coming out in June. “I Know You’re Married But I’ve Got Feelings Too” is due on Drowned in Sound. This track from her 2005 debut is how I felt about Apple today.
MP3: Martha Wainwright - “Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole”
Somehow I missed Danish quintet The Elephants when they released their debut LP last autumn on Tapete Records. Consider that oversight rectified.
M4A: The Elephants - “5 Minutes”
There has been a lot of chatter about Denver’s DeVotchKa and I think “Transliterator” has finally won me over. Their sixth LP “A Mad & Faithful Telling” came out last week on ANTI-Records.
MP3: DeVotchKa - “Transliterator”
That’s all I have in me today, folks. Blame Steve Jobs - I’ve got your Leopard right here, buddy.
