not just a baby elf with down's syndrome
Burned a copy of Joanna Newsom's The Milk-Eyed Mender alb last night. I've been listening to it all morning. I'm surprised - it's every bit as good as everyone says it is.
Addendum: another recent college radio / mp3-blog sensation, the Fiery Furnaces, have not impressed me in the least. Not that that has anything to don with Newsom, really. Just sayin'.
And S'More: also burned the Futureheads record last night, based partially on the recommendation of friend/compatriot Jerkwater Johnson (aka SA). He sez of the 'heads: "like billy bragg fronting a typical early 80's post punk band who like barber shop quartet music". I say they sound like the Jam playing the angular post-punk. They like the four-part harmonies, yes sir. And it's pretty damn good, if kind of ridiculous in spots.
