Staring at Your Books

It snowed today! The novelty has not yet worn off.


Regina Spektor - Twenty Years of Snow (live)
[info]

Could you play a snow flurry on your guitar? On your drumset or your didgeridoo? Regina sits at her piano and shows us how she would do it: swirling it dizzy, slowing it down, swirling again.

Fiery Furnaces - Winter (Fall cover) [buy]

The Friedbergers do it different, still discordant but without the easy grace. It sounds like a warning, a paranoid second glance expecting a calamitous incident, courtesy of winter.

Death Cab for Cutie - Blacking Out the Friction [buy]

Alas, there's nothing to fear when we've got our sweater. Ben Gibbard always has his sweater.

***

Eagle-eyes among you may have noticed that I've been joined by one Dan DeMaria in the production of b+a! Hooray! Keep 'em peeled for his first contribution soon.

Catbird Records has made Hemstad's new full-length available for purchase. It may be too late to get the bonus disc, but don't let that stop you from trying!

Enjoy!
