Interesting. Not what I would have expected, but I like pretty much all of these songs.
Letter from an Occupant is great, I'm not sure why its not on mine, it's the best track on a great album (which is on my album list). Let's just say it's #11.
How are you going, by the way? Seen any good live bands or anything recently? Joanna Newsom's coming to Australia in January and I'm ridiculously excited.
Evidently, Ms. Newsom sold out nearly every single one of her American dates on her tour, and I ended up missing her here in DC. I was pissed at myself.
Luckily, I managed to catch My Morning Jacket a week later, and they totally made up for it. Best live band I've ever seen. I had caught them at Bonnaroo for the past two years, but I had never gotten the chance to see them in a club setting, and they really impressed me all over again.
How 'bout you, any happenings down under?
Um, I saw Animal Collective when they were out here. They played in a small club. Yeah, they were very impressive. They mostly played new material, which seemed like very intense, almost metal sounding music.
They played some old favourites, the crowd went nuts over grass (it's really strange when stuff like this happens, you think you and your weird mates are the only people in the world that listen to this kind of music.) Nevertheless, the crowd as a whole were very intent on hearing Leaf House, but it wasn't happening, apparantly they just don't play it live. They closed on We Tigers and that was just fine.
Shit I better buy my Joanna tickets. By the way, my brother's girlfriend works for some designer label, so she gets to dress her for her tour down here. So, some degrees of separation there...
