Let’s keep on riding the smooth wave that is Iron and Wine/Calexico. This set is a little on the softer side and just as fine as the NPR recording.
Iron and Wine/Calexico, from the Triple Door (KEXP):
He Lays in the Reins
Red Dust
All Tomorrow’s Parties
Prison on Route 41
A History of Lovers
Dead Man’s Will
Wild Horses

Karl Marx Stadt
Karl Marx Stadt has evolved into the solo effort of Christian Gierden, one half of Society Suckers, who describe their music as, “precisely arranged psychedelic pogo trash music. born out of a frustration with emotionless dance music.”
In Gierden’s solo work he humanizes the manic breakbeats of Society Suckers. In the track 7.000.000.000, the grandeur of a movie score builds into an eruption of b.p.m.’s. As much emotion as electronic blips, Gierden gives insight of what electronic music can and should be.
Karl Marx Stadt – 7.000.000.000

Always late to the party
Hello to all.
A year or two after the supposed “Year of the Blog” I have finally realized that this internet thing isn’t just a passing fad. I like music and hope to add to Kevin’s wild circus of music discovery. Embarking in this union, I will present a customary offering.
Something old: Arizona – Jack Bryant
Something doom: Impending Doom – Daedelus (with, you guess it, MF Doom)
Something borrowed: Africa – The UNCG Spartones (borrowing from TOTO for an acapella onslaught)
And something… TV on the Radio: Ambulance (2008 X-tra effort mix) – TVOTR
