6/26/06 Song

Today's song is "Frontier Psychiatrist" by The Avalanches. The Avalanches are really good at making sampled songs. Their album, Since I Left You is basically one big exercise in sampling, but it works. You have to give a lot of the songs a little while to establish themselves, but once they (and you) do, it's pretty enjoyable. Their "radio hit" (at least back in 2001) is pretty palpable. Give it a listen.

6/25/06 Song

No song yesterday because it was the Apocalype Party.

Today's song is "Song for a Young Queen" by Chris Thile. It's bluegrass/folk/mandonlin. Chris Thile is a prodigious mandolin player. He put out and wrote songs when he was 16 that no one else in the world could even play. Pretty amazing. If you've heard Nickel Creek, you've heard Chris Thile... he's in the band. The song is from his album "Not All Who Wander are Lost", which is excellent. Check it out, you'll like it.
