Fresh Cuts...

Another especially nice weekend in New York.   Special lady came out to see me.  Hit up Olives on Friday night with Andrew and Jeff, then dropped in on Sachin's going-away thing at The Musical Box.   Saturday, we walked six blocks to the Mercury Bar and partake'd (to put it lightly) in an open bar for the 111th Big Game with the Cardinal Young Alumni.

Anyway, we were listening to KEXP on Saturday morning and heard some fresh cuts we liked.  Here are a couple we downloaded and played a bunch this weekend.  Both are pretty rad.  Enjoy.

David Byrne & Brian Eno Collaboration

Before hitting up yogatown today, I thought I'd share a sick new cut I just heard from Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, the new David Byrne (Talking Heads frontman) and Brian Eno collaboration.  The song is called "Strange Overtones" and like most of the music I stumble upon, I heard this on a KEXP morning show from the week that I am only now streaming over the internets.

Best part?  David Byrne and Brian Eno will let you download this nasty little track fo' free!   Check it.

For all the shoegazers out there...

This track off M83's  new Saturdays = Youth album is absolutely haunting.  If only John Hughs could get in a time machine and lay this cut down for The Breakfast Club's closing credits.  I heard it on a KEXP Morning Show from last week that I was streaming this morning.  I tried downloading the album off the newsgroups with Newsleecher but I just ended up with a bunch of .wav files that wouldn't play properly, so it looks like I will have to actually buy this one off amazon mp3 or itunes.
