Wow, is that weird. My list this week starts with a pair of Langhorne Slim tunes. Uncanny!
A coffeeshop's the place to see him. His new, full-band album is abominable. (Luckily my FRT pulls from the first two CDs.) Although I see he's going to be opening for someone good, I forget who, so apparently somebody retains hope for him. And have you seen that TV commercial -- for a bank, I think -- featuring his song? Gahhh!
1. "Whipping Boy" Shearwater / Winged Life
2. "Glad Girls" Guided By Voices / Isolation Drills
3. "On Time" Soledad Brothers / Voice Of Treason
4. "Almost Crimes" Broken Social Scene / You Forgot it in People
5. "Almost Home" Hem / Funnel Cloud
6. "Priest's Knees" Destroyer / Destroyer's Rubies
7. "If That's Alright" Uncle Tupelo / Still Feel Gone
8. "The Battle Of Evermore" Led Zeppelin / IV
9. "Skinny Love" Bon Iver / For Emma, Forever Ago
10. "The Wanderer" Dion / 24 Original Classics
bonus: "Back Burner" Ida / I Know About You
A little more Dan Bejar for you. Ahab, I love that Tarnation record. What ever became of them?
Modest Mouse, "Fly Trapped in a Jar," We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Pixies, "There Goes My Gun" and "Debaser" Doolittle
Postal Service, "Natural Anthem," Give Up
Langhorne Slim, "Mary," When the Sun's Gone Down
Rilo Kiley, "Salute My Shorts," Take Offs and Landings
Pavement, "Texas Never Whispers," Slanted & Enchanted, L&R
John Lennon, "Love," The John Lennon Collection
Yo La Tengo, "Avalon or Someone Similar," Popular Songs
Cars Can Be Blue, "You're on Drugs," Doubly Unbeatable
Hem, "Sailor," Rabbit Songs
Bonus: Pixies, "Crackity Jones," Doolittle
Hmmm. Can't explain the Doolittle obsession, but I like the album, so ok. Plus a Langhorne.
Free download from the band that I accidentally named on the link. They listen to Big Star, Replacements, Kinks, Husker Du and others. If I had to pick a single, it would be "Been So Good" and "Fresh Romance" on the B. Check it out.

I hope that didn't come out wrong. I think it'll be a great show. He's high energy yet intimate. It'll be a blast.
If you get a chance, and he'll probably give you several, request that he play "Mississippi Bo Weevil Blues." A friend and I who saw him together both times (about a year apart) at Iota in Arlington, VA (just across River from DC) drunkenly harassed him to play that most excellent song from a little Paramount Records compilation CD. Near the end of the second show he wearily asked us why we always wanted him to play a song he couldn't remember anymore.
Good times.
Paula Frazer did a couple of solo CDs in like '03-'05, E, but I see Tarnation has had a release after those, in '07.
She's got such a beautiful, melancholy voice. And such power.
1. No Unmaking – Old Reliable
2. Christine – Siouxsie & the Banshees
3. Radio Sweetheart – Elvis Costello
4. That’s the Story of My Life – Velvet Underground
5. Going Left Right – The Department
6. Margaret – Jill Sobule
7. Last Great American Whale – Lou Reed
8. It’s a Mean Old World – Otis Rush
9. Syrup & Honey – Duffy
10. Even If I Could – The Mamas & The Papas
*Bonus** L’orgue des Amoreux – Edith Piaf
I guess I missed the memo about including some Langhorne Slim on my list this week, dang it.
Langhorne Slim didn't make my list, just going to see him live tonight. If you leave right now, Erik, you'd be in SB in time for the show!
1) “Something's Coming” West Side Story
2) “Paint” Soul Coughing
3) “Shower The People” James Taylor
4) “100 Years” Five For Fighting
5) “Glendora” Rilo Kiley
6) “Kalifornia” Fatboy Slim
7) “Angel Doves” Mindy Smith
8) “Wild Horses” The Sundays
9) “Move Your Feet” JUNIOR SENIOR
10) “Dead Man's Party” Oingo Boingo
+) “Those Three Days” Lucinda Williams
Langhorne Slim was GREAT. I also really enjoyed the opener, April Smith and the Great Picture Show...
