"Houseclouds" - Liars

This is a fun song, for sure. Following "Plaster Casts of Everything" and preceding "Leather Prowler", it does feel a bit out of place though.

as much as i like Clem Snide i wouldnt say its better than Bitter Honey, its one of his best work to date imho, these songs stand up good in a strip down arangement, that tells a lot.

"Hey Rabbit" by Fionn Rabbit. Cool.

Fionn Rabbit or Fionn Regan?

Will Kimbrough - EP

Mid-tempo alt-country goodness. At 8 songs, it's a bit long for an EP as well.

The Smiths - "Reel Around the Fountain"

Yee-ouch! Fionn Regan. My bad.

"Core and Rind" by Andrew Bird. Studying up for the Bird show tomorrow night.

"Dear Old Greenland" by Andrew Bird.

A cover of "I'm Looking Through You" by P.Hux. Excellent power pop album!

Built To Spill - Traces

Thanks PixiesTame

"When Under Ether" by PJ Harvey

Short and sweet. I bet it fits in tight on the album. At least, I hope so.

Hey crazed, you're listening to some great Bird songs, but he hasn't played any of those at the concerts I've been to. No matter how loud I scream THE TITLES! (Red, White and Blue?)

It does. And how funny, I'm listening to that song right now too

"Silence" by PJ Harvey

Well, I've heard 9/11 of her new album, and it's certainly unexpected, but it seems pretty sweet on first listen.

PJ is right up there with Björk as my current fave female vocalist. I realize that turns some off already. (Your loss, unless you honestly listen to homogenic and Songs From the City, Songs From the Sea straight through. Those are the two albums I recommend from these two divas if you're gonna get into their power.) I do prefer this PJ album over Björk's latest.

The new PJ also reminds me a bit of the last Joanna Newsom, except the songs here average 3 minutes, and PJ's voice is gold. Anyway, that's plenty for a first impression, although I seemed to notice that the intro "The Devil" and the closer "The Mountain" are exactly in the right places.

"Cuckoo Cuckoo" by Animal Collective

Unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed by David Bowie (off of Space Oddity).
A truly underrated album.

"Patty Lee" by Les Savy Fav

. I appreciate the comments. Making that damn list was more exhaustive than I thought. I really have no desire to post there anymore now... Anyways, I haven't given You In Reverse enough of a listen either. "Saturday" is a superb track. You'd probably also like "Liars" off the same album.

"Gone Daddy Gone" - Violent Femmes

Upstairs Divine - Rosewood EP

So far, this sounds pretty promising. Sort of atmospheric, epic stuff with very nice female and male vocals.
