Apples + Battles
Now, I'm not usually one for the gratuitous mp3-only posts, but I'm letting myself slide this time. The reason: I got a new computer (thank you ScholarShare!), which, much to my delight, came with an iPod nano. Even better is that I can finally connect my hard drive and access all the music I've been missing. Gems I had figured lost, like these:
My Morning Jacket - Bermuda Highway (Acoustic Citsuoca EP version) [mp3] [buy]
Marah - East (demo) [mp3]
Radar Bros. - To Carry Me Home (from the Shoveling Sons single) [mp3]
The Recoys - The Blizzard of '93 [mp3] [buy]
Spoon - Everything Hits At Once (For Discos) [mp3]

How about that!

I've been listening to the Foundry Field Recordings' Prompts/Miscues an awful lot lately. This song's absolutely country, yet it isn't at all. Clear, sad, rolling - it's lonesome and it's defeated some. And listen harder - quiet as he's singing, he couldn't be more resolute. I guess that's what this song voices, a truth that scares me to imagine its origins: slipping, last lines, history and battle brigades.
