So that my blog doesn’t look like a desolate warehouse, I’ve got some music for you.  You may preview them and if you like and download them by clicking on the song names (zip format).  As usual, I’ll take these songs down after a little while so I don’t have strangers leeching my bandwidth so get them while you can!

Wrapped Up – Picture Atlantic
1901 – Phoenix
Lovers Who Uncover – The Little Ones
Midnight Fires – Pilot Speed
Sant Feliu De Guixols – Jeremy Enigk

If any of the songs has piqued your interest enough into buying the album, my recommendations are as follows:

-Picture Atlantic, Kleos:  A good solid album worth getting if you can find it since it had limited distribution.  They are sort of like Coldplay so if you like them, you’ll definitely enjoy this album.

-Phoenix, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix: I would say that the entire album is enjoyable and rather perky but hasn’t completely grown on me yet.  The song I posted and “Lisztomania” are the stand-outs to me.  I probably have to listen to it some more before making a final judgment but for now, I would say it’s an ok album but a must-have for you Phoenix fans.

-The Little Ones, Sing Song: Well, I don’t have the album and just this one song.  I only know a handful of songs from this band so at this point, I can’t give a recommendation.

-Pilot Speed, Wooden Bones: Pilot Speed is definitely one of my favorite bands.  If any of you remember at the end of AinD ep. 7, I used the song “Travel Song” by them (under the band name Pilate) and also created the music video “Alright” using the song by the same name.  Both songs were off their first album Caught By the Window which is hard to find now since it was an import;  I had to pay extra to get it but it’s an extraordinary album worth every penny.  If you can’t get that, they repackaged some of their songs from that album along with some new ones to an album called Into the West for distribution in the U.S. and abroad which is also excellent.  Wooden Bones is their newest release and, although not as amazing as their previous albums, is a very good solid album I’d definitely recommend.

-Jeremy Enigk, Ok Bear:  Of Sunny Day Real Estate fame, Jeremy Enigk is an extrememly talented song writer.  I’ve used his music before- the music video “One and One is One” is based on his song by the same name as well as “River to Sea” in AinD ep. 14.  Like all of his previous work, this latest album is very solid and I’d recommend it.
