Goodie Bag 10/5
Yeah, I'm a little late. It's still Sunday. Enjoy a rather eclectic collection this week.
1. The Thermals - A Pillar Of Salt - A fantastic track off of one of the year's best punk records.
2. Jake Weisman - Audrey - Up and coming singer songwriter from Vermont. If you're into lo-fi stuff or Elliott Smith, check it out. It probably doesn't hurt that he lives down the hall from me...
3.The Decemberists - Summersong - I have never really dug The Decemberists until I heard The Crane Wife. The new record has a strong prog influence, that can be felt on two of the album's 10+ minute tracks. Here's Summersong, one of the most autumnal cuts on the record.
4. T.I. - King Back - I..can't...escape... T.I.. I don't know what it is! I got a hold of King. awhile back, and in the last week, it's been in constant rotation. T.I.'s rhymes are sharp and with carefully chosen beats and guest spots, this record is unstoppable. Here's the incredible opening cut produced by Just Blaze.
5. Neil Young - After The Garden - At 61 years old, Neil's pretty much one of the only classic rockers that's willing to take a chance with their music. Okay, sure, Sir Paul's worked with Radiohead's producer, but the results were nothing out out of the ordinary. I know I'm a huge fan of all these old guys making records again, but who's willing to take a chance with their sound at such an advanced age? That's right, just Neil. In March, he wrote, recorded a collection of government bashing tunes, and by early April, it was available to download with a hard copy following later in the month. Here's one song that sticks with me after every listen.

After getting it for you I started listening to it a lot...and dig it now. It happens.
