[Download] Nick Lowe – Let’s Stay In and Make Love.mp3 More tracks from this excellent record available from Nick Lowe’s site. After posting yesterday’s sad, sad M. Ward track, I started humming it to myself and found myself naturally “medleying” into this warm inviting track from Nick Lowe. It’s got virtually the same chord progression [...]

[Soundtrack] M. Ward — Undertaker.mp3 More Swedish significance today. Last Saturday I attended a wedding at San Francisco’s Swedish American Hall, a bizarre little auditorium over Café Du Nord constructed after the 1906 earthquake with many Scandinavian touches. I’d only been there one other time, to see M. Ward touring behind “Transfiguration Of Vincent,” a [...]

[Soundtrack] Dandy Warhols – Every Day Should Be A Holiday.mp3 Apologies for the slow posting over the weekend. DSL is down at home until tomorrow night. Last week’s most popular download (by far!) was Brian Jonestown Massacre. In the interests of equal time for the Dig! candidates, here’s a track from their more-successful, less-interesting brethren [...]

[Download] Neil Young – Lotta Love.mp3 How will people reply to my irresistible Craig’s List offer? BRIDGE SHOW Sunday – Section 101, Row P – profits to charity I bought this pair for $60/ea and I’m perfectly willing to sell them for face value. If, however, you feel compelled to offer more for them, I [...]

[Soundtrack] The Brian Jonestown Massacre – Spun.mp3 (If you like this track, BJM has posted all of its albums for free at their home page.) Hey, rock n rollers, run don’t walk to your local indie movie palace to check out Dig!, the new documentary comparing and contrasting the incredible, amazingly self-destructive Brian Jonestown Massacre [...]

[Soundtrack] William Shatner – That’s Me Trying (feat. Aimee Mann).mp3 Ben Folds has done the unexpected and made a terrific artist out of William Shatner. Anybody who’s heard his album from the 1960s, "The Transformed Man," seen his ridiculous self-parodying overacting since Star Trek shut down or his bizarre stints as the host of "Iron [...]

The Beta Band – Lion Thief.mp3 It almost passed unnoticed — almost no record company support and no US tour(?) — but the final album from the Beta Band is a great little piece of new century psychedelia. As on their best work (“The Three EPs,” natch), the songs are built up from little snippets [...]
