The Library
Each month, I’m going to start providing you with a list of the best music that was released the previous month. In general, I’m going to stay off the beaten track (no U2 mp3′s for you, thankfully) although I can’t stay away from the new Death Cab. I’m efforting to make a cute little mp3 player on the sidebar, which you can use to listen to these songs anytime. In the meantime, here’s the April mp3′s that have been in high rotation for me.
I was going to go in alphabetical order, but this first one is by far the best of the bunch. You need to own the entire album, as there isn’t a bad track on it.
Black Box Revelation- Love Is On My Mind
and this too:
East Hundred- Hammerhead
Aidan Moffat & The Best-Of’s- 9,000,000 Bicycle
The Artisans- Jazz Serenade
The Big Pink- Velvet
British Sea Power- A Forest (Cure cover)
The Coathangers- Killdozer
Dananananakroyd- Watch This!
Death Cab For Cutie- My Mirror Speaks
Great Lake Swimmers- Everything Is Moving So Fast
Home Video- I Can Make You Feel It
LR Rockets- Cameron Is Connected
Lykke Li- Knocked Up (Live on Carson Daly)
Metric- Help I’m Alive (Acoustic)
M.M.- Call The Shots
Other Lives- Don’t Let Them
Popface- Dreams Burn Down (Ride Cover)
Shirley Lee- The Smack of Pavement On Your Face
SomaHigh- Lo Fat
Superchunk- Learned To Surf (new Superchunk! Yes, please!)
