I bought Ryan Adams tickets the other day - always a painless way to throw away money - and I realized it's been WAY to long since I share any of his music. Although not nearly as obsessed as I once was with Mr. Adams....he will always hold a special place in my musical heart. Ryan Adams - 'For No One' MP3 ~~

I love this song, this whole record in fact. Low's 'The Great Destroyer' album is one of those seminal albums in my life...it has just etched a certain space out in my soul...and I will take it with me for the rest of my life. I probably have 10 or 15 albums that have had that affect on me...maybe. So, every couple of weeks I like to share a track off of one of those... Low - 'When I Go Dea...

Oxford Collapse, a Brooklyn based band, are back with their second record for Sub Pop entitled 'Bits'. I could not be more happy.

I just got in, haven't even listened to it yet...but thought I'd share a track before calling it a night. Here is a ...

Woven Hand

Artist:

Track:
I've always sort of thought of David Eugene Edwards as the American version of Nick Cave, either with his band 16 Horsepower, or with this project Woven Hand. His lyrics are smart, dark, and a bit theatrical...and usually incredible.Here is a tune from the forthcoming 'Ten Stones'.Woven Hand - 'Horsetail' MP3~~

All is not what it seems in American suburbia.I can't believe I have made it to number 8 in this series and NOT used a Sofia Coppola example yet! The use of Air's music as a score for the troubled suburb that was the setting for Coppola's movie 'The Virgin Suicides' was brilliant...and no song was as perfect as 'Playground Love.'Air - 'Playground Love' MP3~~
