.I've been out of the loop for the last week... I should have been posting on my fantastic Secret Santa gift from Jenny ( www.mog.com/jenny ) (sorry about that!)... This post should put that right... For those that don't know her, Jenny is a music writer based in Philly. ...and not only does she have excellent taste, but she did her homework and checked out the kind of stuff that I listen to... from my love of New Zealand legends, The Clean, she graced me with the latest...

I had to do best-of lists for PopMatters this week, and I don't have anything else to put up at the moment, so I thought I'd throw it out there. My list has changed a little bit since I submitted it to Harp a month or so ago...it would probably change a little bit every time I looked at it. I've never been very good at setting my preferences in stone. I guess I'd better not run for president. Oh, and in the "things can change" column, I've just started listening to t... MORE

This weekend, the editors at Dusted asked a bunch of us to contribute a paragraph on our favorite records of the year so far. The feature, which went up today, has entries for records you'll probably have heard of (Panda Bear, Devin the Dude), and others that will most likely be new to you. But don't be scared. It's just music, really, and these guys have excellent, if somewhat off-the-beaten-path taste. The albums included were: Keith Rowe, "The Room" David Kilgour,... MORE

I think it was Colin from High Violets who posted about "perfect songs" a few weeks ago. I've had David Kilgour's "Today Is Gonna be Mine" running through my head ever since...it's from his wonderful album A Feather in the Engine and it just couldn't not be more beautiful or complete. That led me to think of another song that reminds me of "Today is Gonna Be Mine," a little more recent, from Mazarin's We're Already There. The song is "Another One Goes By". I'm not say... MORE

... and he has a new album out. There, I've said it. It's as wonderful as always and you should all go and get it. It's out on Merge Records.
