i know i am a little slow from time to time, but has anyone tried the service tumblr yet? i have only been playing around with it for a day, but i love it. its exactly what i have been looking for in terms of as a supplement to this joint. i want to update more, but am really, really lazy. tumblr makes it super easy to just share links, photos, stories, music, etc. it literally takes like 10 seconds to create a post. as opposed to the 30 seconds it would take to log into wordpress and do whatever. so, i will be updating my tumblr site probably at least 5 -10 times a day with random shit - some music stuff, but mostly interesting finds from throughout the intertubes.

so, after using tumblr for 48 hours i found that it was way too unreliable for my liking. its still a great service, in theory, but i think they are probably going through some growing pains that i dont reel like putting up with at the moment. as luck would have it, some guy wrote a plugin for wordpress that lets you use your wordpress powered site like tumblr. so, feel free to visit/bookmark the new captains dead supplement, thanksfornothin.

this phil spector 2 cd comp, wall of sound retrospective/a christmas gift for you, recently fell into my lap and if you are at all interested in his work this is really phenomenal. the christmas record is cool for what it is, but the wall of sound recordings is more than worth the price of admission. i cant recommend it enough.

i have been pretty addicted to eric trip’s 93 debut, love tara, which if you didnt know features the lovely voice of julie dorion. its not a brilliant record, not all of them need to be, but its pretty great. here is one of my favorite tracks of it.

stove

hey congrats to all you bosox fans out there. i, like the rest of the country probably, didnt think they were going to make it out of the alcs, but what the hell do i know? i expected my sox to have won at least 2-3 world series by now. considering that they have the same freakin team as 05! anyway, those rookies really carried em, which bodes well for the future. could it be possible that arod might be a sock next summer now that he has opted out of his contract with the yanks? man, i would love if the white sox got him. nay, they need to get him. no matter the price. by the way, papelbon needs to just stop.

dont know if you guys have checked out this comp called folk music for the end of the world, but its pretty great. its put out by yer bird records and features a lot of great performers including j tillman, hayden, travel by sea - whose new record i cant wait for, aline simone, chris bathgate, paleo and matthew ryan amongst others. one thing i really dig about it is that it flows really well and no track seems outta place - which is a major downfall of a lot of comps. its definitely worth your investment.

swimming in money - paleo

flash of light followed by - chris bathgate

staying on the topic of folk music for the end of world, i wanted to make special mention of two of the artists. first being paleo, who has just wrapped up his song a day for a year project. i havent listened to only but a few, but they are cool for what they are - raw recordings. check em out here. he plays in athens on the 17th of december at the flicker. the other artist in question is michael metivier’s oweihops. his contribution to the comp is beautiful little tune called “sad little drunks.” hoping that the rest of his stuff was as grand, i hopped over to his myspace page and i can confidently say that it is. his new record, cinquefoil, can be downloaded/purchased on his myspace page.

sad little drunks

this is the earliest tupelo recording i have heard and as luck would have it, its a great recording. here they are playing at the blue note on 8.22.88.
