What's everyone else is listening to these days? While I'm still enjoying my favourites of 2012 (and shocked none of the rest of you had Smoke Fairies' Blood Speaks, Susanne Sundfor's The Silicone Veil, Jesca Hoop's The House That Jack Built, The XX's Coexist, Stealing Sheep's Into The Diamond Sun, _or_ Lemolo, The Kaleidoscope on your top of the year lists--yes, this means that the ectoguide's best of 2012 list is up, thanks to JoAnn: http://www.ectoguide.org/best/year2012) I am listening to new things. Torres, of course Anna told me about Claire Diterzi's new one, Le Salon des refusees, and while it looks difficult to get the physical CD right now, the download appears to be widely available. It's fascinating, with a lot of viola da gamba and early music soundings. Also got Alt-J's An Awesome Wave as a Christmas present (thank,s Tamar!) and am loving its oddities. It would definitely have made my best of 2012 list had I given it a chance before the end of the year. New in the house is the download of Reba Hasko's Kickstarter-funded third album, Delicate Cyclone. I haven't listened to it enough to form an opinion yet, but it's intriguing so far. Jesca Hoop's PledgeMusic project, The Complete Kismet Acoustic just arrived in my door, too. That's it for me right now. - --Neile ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 12:28:08 -0500 From: Karen Hester Subject: Tonight Shara Worden online 7pm/E http://www.wqxr.org/#!/programs/newyorknow/2013/jan/25/ "Live video and audio stream of this sold-out evening featuring the versatile, Detroit-based songstress Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) and the adventurous, award-winning Brooklyn Youth Chorus.
