Today's Subjects: ----------------- two albums for your 2011 consideration that I missed [katherine Subject: two albums for your 2011 consideration that I missed I missed a ton of albums on my list earlier -- Lisa Hannigan, for one! -- but here are two that I just heard today and that a lot of you will like. Haven't spent enough time with them, but at least one will make it onto my list somewhere: Julia Holter - *Tragedy*: Associated with a bunch of people, but squarely ecto: http://www.amazon.com/Tragedy/dp/B005I23DDG/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323193645&sr=301-1 Botched Fairytale - s/t: I talk about lots of Irish albums on this list; this album's probably closer to what you'd think of as "Irish music" than any of them. Got that in mind? Great, now forget it; the approach is much more modern, much more experimental, darker even -- the sort of take Lili Haydn, maybe, or possibly Nick Cave might do. It's also free: http://botchedfairytale.bandcamp.com/ ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #270 ***************************
