I tend to skip the 5+ minute songs when downloading things from emusic, but that song is the highlight of Ole Tarantula for me. Some months I go though a whole month without exhausting my 40-track emusic quota, and some months it takes just a couple of days.

Think Modest Mouse without the erratic genre experiments and with Issac Brock replaced by either Atom + His Package's Adam Goren or Too Much Joy's Tim Quirk, if that's not too knotty an analogy. http://www.emusic.com/album/10872/10872406.html I also like: Dirty on Purpose, HALLELUJAH SIRENS (like Yeah Yeah Yeah's and Yo La Tengo meeting each other halfway between the former's New Wave exuberance and the latter's murky jangle-pop; http://www.emusic.com/album/10913/10913923.html) Final Fantasy, HE POOS CLOUDS (classical violin and D+D enthusiast merges the two with surprisingly listenable results; http://www.emusic.com/album/10941/10941071.html) Youth Group, SKELETON JAR (the kind of melancholic guitar-pop grandeur that Coldplay and Death Cab For Cutie are the current mainstream practitioners of, only way better. They have a new album out in their native Australia, but I prefer this 2005 release to it anyway; http://www.emusic.com/album/10861/10861920.html) Let me know how those go if you end up checking them out.

And then there are the Finns and Crowded House: They used "Recurring Dream" (a b-side from a soundtrack) as the title for the Crowded House best-of, on which it didn't appear. Tim used the song "Say It Is So" on an album that WASN'T "Say It Is So," and Neil's live album is called "Seven Worlds Collide," after a lyric from the Crowded House song "Dust from a Distant Sun". Mind you, that song doesn't appear on the live album. Those wacky kiwis. last played: Pernice Brothers, demos and outtakes from "Live a Little" Michael W.

"I found a Marshall Crenshaw CD I didn't have, and really lucked out on The Feelies' The Good EarthI haven't seen that in years," said Pratt, who has also shopped for music in Boston, San Francisco, Gettysburg, PA, and Kansas City. "I like this place. It's a lot like my regular used-CD shop back in Chicago." Foregoing a ferry-ride to nearby Fort Sumter, Pratt said he intended to spend the remainder of the afternoon peeling the protective plastic off the CD cases and enjoying a sandwich from a local Subway restaurant.

Well, we were laughing our heads off at the new one, because for nearly every sample, we were turning to each other and exclaiming, "It's Bruce!" We were just wondering where the saxophone was.
