"Istenem Drago" by the Astroglides from their new terrific album, Selling Out with the Astroglides. Best surf instrumental band from Israel!

Richard Thompson's "King of Bohemia" as covered by Linda Ronstadt & Ann Savoy on their Adieu False Heart album. An excellent cajun and folk album. Savoy always did good with the Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band. But it's Ronstadt who shines here. She sounds at ease with these songs and does the covers justice.

This nearly got past me, c. Perhaps I've not been paying attention, but I've not seen any press on it so far.

Thanks for the tip!

I've heard of them before but I've never heard a song! Sounds awesome, though

"Faster Gun" - Wrens

Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors by Radiohead on Amnesiac

Leaf House by Animal Collective: Still Awesome even if it does say "MEOW"!

The Rat by The Walkmen: I don't know why but I haven't listened to this track in over a year and I still love it!

Postcards from Italy- Beirut: Great Song!!!

Of the Wand and the Moon - Lucifer

Sort of dark, odd European folk music. Not bad so far.

"Mouthful of Cavities"-Blind Melon off of Soup

Mass Romantic- The New Pornographers: Hell, Yeah!

Letter from an Occupant- The New Pornographers: Still Awesome! Power-Pop rules!

"Teeth Like God's Shoeshine" by Modest Mouse

Amazing.

I'm really enjoying the album. Much as I like Ronstadt, she doesn't always mesh well with the material she covers when she genre hops. None of that here though- I hope she returns to Cajun & folk on her future albums. My favorite killer track on the AFH album is "Walk Away, Renee".

The Astroglides' early albums were a mix of hardcore punk and surf instrumental. Their brand of punk was pretty awful but their surf instrols were dynamite. Fortunately they dropped the punk from the last two albums and have excelled at the reverb stuff.

I checked that out after you included it in your tracks list elsewhere, c., and picked up the album. "King of Bohemia" came up on my player today and is a pretty fine version. I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.

"The Victor" by Madeira from their Ruins ep. Gritty surf instrumental with a south-of-the- border feel. Excellent little album.
