Long time no post. Both very busy and sick (and my Sidekick broke — the horror!), but hott MP3s and gossip coming soon. In the meantime, thanks as always to the readers for sharing…
Kind Of Like Spitting takes on Big Star, the Karl Hendricks Trio, Yo La Tengo, and the GZA, too! You’ll probably find the GZA track pretty interesting if not out-and-out hilarious, especially when Ben inserts a verse of his own concoction that knocks both Sub Pop and Barsuk. (In an effort to intiate some Left Coast indie beef? Well, not really, but it’s funny nonetheless.) ? They are merely fantastic.
MP3: (Big Star cover)
Sufjan was featured on All Things Considered playing the song he wrote about the small town of Brinkley, Ark. Two independent producers Dan Collinson and Elizabeth Meister were curious to find out how Stevens wrote his songs so they picked the small town and interviewed residents about their town’s story. They then sent the interview to Sufjan, who wrote this exclusive song.
MP3: (NPR Exclusive)
So my brother is on the organizing committee for PDX Pop Now! music festival, which showcases Portland music. I got an advance copy of the compliation which, among other things, has an unreleased Decemberists demo. I asked if I could post them on the internets, and they didn’t say I couldn’t. So I did. Decemberists, Menomena, and Copy. Anyway, as a Decemberists fan, I thought you’d be interested.
MP3: (Demo)
Bought the new Pernice Brothers CD today. Review TK!
UPDATE: Oops about the Decemberists track. Thanks Brooklyn Vegan for the heads up, and for this link to Sufjan acoustic at WNYC.

do you have a good quality cover of the decemberists covering kate bush’s “wuthering heights”? petra sounds amazing on it.
also, downloaded the new nada surf this weekend. good sounding so far.
just a ramble here, but i picked up the dfa compilation #2 on saturday, and i’ll be damned if it isn’t aural bliss. i also got controller.controller’s record, which is like pretty girls make graves if they went a little more dance and a little less artsy. anyway, check those two out if you have a chance. i’ve been dancing since i got em.
If anyone has that Sufjan Stevens file of him singing the “Super Bowl Shuffle” could you please make a MP3 for me?
gummer, I’m looking for a mashup of Sufjan & Kfed. Got one?
I want that Nada Surf!

Love the Decemberists track! If anyone’s interested–they made #3 on the soon-to-be completely overhauled marathonpacks midway-thru-2005 list.
A review of the new Super Furries, too.
The Decemberists track is great. Too bad it’s track #6 on Picaresque.
oh, and forgot to say…
Feel better Scott!
Arkansas is getting some indie-yuppie love. Holla! (I live like, half an hour away from Brinkley.)
Great God Bird.
Do you actually listen to the songs you post yo?
