Listen ♫: Bob Holroyd – African Drug (Four Tet Remix) ←♥♥♥♥

New single from Wolf Parade is also pretty great. This is the B-side i think.

Listen ♫: Wolf Parade – Agents Of Love ←♥♥♥

Finally, a (possible) taster of what’s to come from Iron & Wine‘s new album – unexpectedly electronic but all the better for it.

Listen ♫: Iron & Wine – Biting Your Tail ←♥♥♥

Had an amazing time and visited some astonishing cities, some less great than others. We drove from Dallas to Hot Springs to Memphis to Nashville to Newport to Roanoke to Washington D.C. to Philadelphia to New York City. When I get my film developed (oh that’s right, I took 3 cameras and about 20 rolls of film!) I’m sure there’ll be a few corkers I can put up on the blog. In the meantime, here’s 3 shots of my travel buds taken on Rob’s digital SLR. Oh, and I was gonna do a post about the new Deerhunter album (which has a few stunners on it) but I’ll leave that for another day. First off then, great new track  from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs which was played by Annie Mac on her Friday show.


Centennial Park, Nashville, Tennessee (Rob)

Next, a gorgeous track that kicks off Sufjan Stevens‘ new album ‘The Age of Adz’ (pronounced ‘odds’ apparently).


Fort Worth Stockyards, Fort Worth, Texas (Eva)

Sufjan Stevens – Futile Devices by Scottish Friction

Finally, a track that was played to us when we went on the Sun Studios tour in Memphis. By the Prisonaires, the track ‘Just Walkin’ In The Rain’ was written by inmates of the Tennessee State Penitentiary and this song was eventually released on Sun Records. The record became so successful that they were allowed day-passes out to tour! Ah the power of music…


City Hall Park, Manhattan, New York City, New York (Chris)

Lost my Silent Disco virginity last night and would highly recommend it to anyone. Also bumped into Jimmy Carr and Bo Burnham on the street and got a photo with them… we were more excited about Bo Burnham to be honest! What a talent.

I think I might only do one more post before I leave for a 3-week long road trip across the USA, but I’ll leave you tonight with 3 songs I can’t stop playing. Oh, and Best Coast‘s ‘Crazy For You’ is a contender for album-of-the-year for me.

Listen ♫: Badly Drawn Boy – Thinking Of You ←♥♥♥♥
