The whole thing is available for free download at http://tyrannyofdave.bandcamp.com/ (along with his previous solo album Vacations). I quite enjoyed it - more rockin' than Piqataland. Try the song "Greatest Generation". There's way too much stuff from this year so far for me to actually go through and pick out my top 10. Much more listening is required.

Much more listening is required. Exactly! More and more, I'm starting to believe that anyone who says that there is no good new music out there anymore either isn't paying close enough attention or doesn't really like music all that much to begin with. For me, I'd have to prune a list of 10 albums from this selection of worthy contenders: Erykah Badu, NEW AMERYKAH PT 2: RETURN OF THE ANKH Broken Social Scene, FORGIVENESS ROCK RECORD Chew Lips, UNICORN Class Actress, JOURNAL OF ARDENCY Drake, THANK ME LATER David Ford, LET THE HARD TIMES ROLL Gorillaz, PLASTIC BEACH Sarah Harmer, OH LITTLE FIRE Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, I LEARNED THE HARD WAY Lali Puna, OUR INVENTIONS Lookbook, WILD AT HEART Laura Marling, I SPEAK BECAUSE I CAN Janelle Monae, THE ARCHANDROID The Octagon, WARM LOVE AND COOL DREAMS FOREVER Owen Pallett, HEARTLAND The Paperbacks, LIT FROM WITHIN Robyn, BODY TALK PT. 1 Shoes, ECCENTRIC BREAKS AND BEATS Sleigh Bells, TREATS The Tallest Man On Earth, THE WILD HUNT Laura Veirs, JULY FLAME ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Jul 2010 17:25:31 -0600 From: Roger Winston Subject: Re: [loud-fans] At halftime (cue the sweet perfume...)

Thee Web sez *those* Shoes released a demos album much more recently than that: http://www.amazon.com/Double-Exposure-Shoes/dp/B000R7HWYS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1278459627&sr=1-4 ...watch for that Japanese box set, too! The ECCENTRIC BREAKS AND BEATS project looks interesting though--a megamix of obscure loops which may or may not have started out as a pirate edition: http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:kjfwxzqsldhe Thanks to B. for the Smoke Fairies shout-out. They're my favorite new(ish) band of the year: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2010/jun/23/ghosts/ Doing my part to keep Rog real, Andy "How to make your own fuel at home.

Good to see it's still available cheap; you get the complete demos for the first two Elektra albums, and it's a real rediscovery of a band that many here probably think was already great....much like that demo-heavy 21-disc Smithereens box set that's out there. ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V9 #125 *******************************
