The Daredevil Christopher Wright is fantastic, and this Daytrotter version of his song is one of the ones that's been on repeat in my cluttered brain. I highly recommend getting both of their Daytrotter sessions, both of which have songs off their debut, and I also recommend getting their debut, In Deference To A Broken Back.
Wildbirds & Peacedrums are the band lucky enough to open for St. Vincent in March when she comes to Seattle. They're pretty sweet, and I insist every one of you 21+ people go see St. Vincent. I am forever bitter that I am not able to go myself.
Alamaailman Vasarat is a crazy avant-garde folk-metal Finnish group, you gotta look up a picture of these guys.
This month's installment is wrapped up by the last four songs. I start with one off the new Magnetic Fields album, which is super glossy and poppy (read: high-quality). It's followed by one of my favorite Langhorne Slim songs.
The final song is by what has taken over my heart since I posted my Top of 2009 list. The XX. Their music blows my mind. It's SO simple, yet unbelievably effective. A time doesn't exist where I would object to listening to it. It's very English, in my humble opinion, and at the same time, very sexy, akin to Feist's Let It Die. I have listened to their stunning self-titled debut most nights as I fall asleep for the past couple weeks. Truly great.
Enjoy this list, I believe Anth will have one out right soon as well. A few of you have left a few posts on our group wall, but I just wanted to say that you're all welcome to tell us what you think. Also, you should point your other music-loving friends in our direction. That is all. Live Free or Die Hard, Friends.
