I may be a bit too old to be listening to the local college radio station, it may be time to give it up and listen to the same 14 songs on Clear Channel stations….

But I’ll take that medicine when the last firey bit of blood in my veins has frozen stiff.

The other morning on kfjc i heard a really great quartet of tunes:

ArtistSongAlbum
Williams, LucindaPyramid of Tears[coll]: Por Vida
Holland, JolieCatalpa WaltzCatalpa
Nadler, MarissaBird SongBallads of Living and Dying
LaibachAcross the UniverseLet It Be
Cobra KillerWithout A Sun76/77

I have long been a fan of the Lu and recently came to like Ms. Holland this year, but Marissa Nadler is A-Mazin’. Her voice is somewhere between Jolie Holland and Hope Sandoval (chanteuse of Mazzy Star) but with a real Portuguese fado accent on it as well.

Very impressed.

Lastly Laibach’s tune was this gorgeous a-capella chorus rendering of the Beatles tune.

I also really liked the Cobra Killer track.

More good musics

    I discovered Jolie Holland at Beaumont’s local (and only) hipster bar. Check out “Old Fashioned Morphine” from her follow-up LP (it’s on iTunes).

    I did see that she was playing San Fran a few weeks after I was there. Did you go?

  2. Dedman Says:

    Fiona Apple, of all people, actually does an interesting version of “Across the Universe,” as well.

    I did not see Ms. Holland and “Escondida” is the only record of hers that I have. While I like her music, I’m not sure that I could take it for the length of a show. I like her in well measured doses — just like old fashioned morphine (or Morphine?).
