New Menomena album: Mines !!!

So delicious.

Other find: Laptop Campfire Speed

Lovely calm folky weirdness with electronic influences.

The Mountain Goats has overtaken Radiohead as my #1 top artist. Wow.

Wed 27 May – Morr Music Night in Groningen. Had to drive three frigging hours but worth it. It's a Musical was more fun than I expected and very enjoyable, Borko was weird but good, and Sin Fang Bous looked dead-tired (and maybe a little, um, out of it?) but was still awesome - I've been listening Sin Fang Bous: Clangour (official morr music upload) to death recently. Thomas Morr himself DJed and spun some very great songs before and in between acts - since Morr Music is his personal taste translated into a music label it is not surprising…

But then, it _was_ unusually warm weather :P

What have I added to my collection since the last summer post? Well, The Album Leaf's new album Into the Blue Again which has a few killer songs. In fact, it prompted me to also get In a Safe Place.

I found a dusty but good Alice in Chains CD, MTV Unplugged in a bargain bin. Good find.

And Artsy's post on Arab Strap disbanding got me to listen to some of their stuff and they _are_ pretty good. Elephant Shoe and The Last Romance are what I've heard so…

Some more nice and mellow American Analog Set this month. Got Oh No! Oh My! on a friend's recommendation but I don't really know how I feel about that one, s'alright I suppose.

Based on Strange Geometry I got some more The Clientele records, and they are nice but not terribly distinctive. But I enjoy working while they are going on in the background. If I was one of the…

Since I don't really do music posts on my blog I might as well document my discoveries here. What I find interesting is that I've completely broken with discovering new music through peers/TV/radio and moved on to using last.fm and http://www.musicmobs.com exclusively. It has led to an explosion in new music that I would NEVER have found the old way. Let alone the chance of finding a lot of this music in the Dutch record shops which is close to zero.

Destroyer's Rubies is a fantastic new album and another good contender for the 'best of 2006'. Apart from having…

I've been using this last.fm for a while but have yet to write a post. Mostly because I already blog at http://acidzebra.blogspot.com, and keeping multiple journals seems redundant.

Hey, I guess I just wrote a post. yay me.
