Listening Notes
Tracks 1 and 14; a recent addition to the cd collection, this guy is a composer who broke one of his fingers and while he was recovering he doodled some tunes with the 9 fingers that worked and offered up the results as a free download. Or, if you wanted to, you could pay and pick up a nicely packaged cd (card sleeve, emboss print type thing). Which do you think i went for?
Tracks 2, 3, 6, 7, 8; all Green Man festival bands this year. Alt-J i missed because i was hauling stuff up a hill. Lucy Rose - as previously discussed in these posts. The Tallest Man on Earth- someone who's set i wandered into during the last few songs but thought a lot of.
Track 7 located next to 8; vocals sound a bit like Bob Dylan, so that would be a bit of a link, right?
Track 6 leading into 7; New York connection.
Track 13; it wouldn't be a 2012 cd without an olympics reference, and i played this tune alot. It's not particularly arty or indie but there's a time and a place for 'heartfelt' isn't there?
Track 11; pedal steel americana produced by a member of bright eyes?.....with MY reputation? *ding dong*
Track 5; a song that only took one listen for me to like it and make the mental note to include it as a year end highlight.
Track 12; best gig of the year?
