We’re also adding Midlake: The Trials of Van Occupanther to the mix for this week. We started out listening to this at the beginning of the week before we decided to go with New Moon, and we can’t stop listening. Yes, it’s that good. Enjoy!

I spent an interesting weekend away from my computer in Chicago. I was going to see the Shins.. for free..However, the whole weekend, I was incredibly excited for tomorrow night's concert: Midlake. I remember downloading their first albums when I was going on my HUGE Coachella music assessment in 2005. I really liked them, however, we didn't see them. Either because my concert buddy didn't like...

i've been spending more and more time with midlake's trials of van occupanther. at first, i was digging it, but having trouble coming to terms with the excessive fleetwood mac influence, especially apparent in the widely buzzed-about single, 'roscoe'. now that i've gotten more acclimated with the record, there are so many nuances i'm hearing that are very original and very indicitave of true ...

So... I arrived home tonight with a gut full of the amber nectar and kebab in desperate need for some tunes to blast the dead brain cells from my weary bonce. I've acquired so much new music lately thanks to pointers from fellow moggers I didn't know what to listen to next. I chose Midlake's 'The Occupation Of Van Occupanther' which I especially dig. The album art for this release is so mislead...

OK, so I finally got around to checking out Midlake's "The Trials of Van Occupanther"... and it's really interesting. Everyone compares them right off the bat to Fleetwood Mac, but I hear all kinds of stuff in there - Fairport Convention, Allman Brothers. Funny, Allmusic hears Gene Clark, Neil Young & America.There could certainly be worse crimes than being inspired by the greats. I'll be keepi...

I remember Midlake from my Coachella 05 cd burning phase. I knew I liked them, but I never really followed through with them.As I was sending out street team concert requests, I noticed that Midlake was coming to the Magic Stick on February 13th. I couldn't remember what they sounded like, so I ventured to their myspace. I am sooo glad I did.I listened to "Young Bride" at 1pm, and I haven't sto...

So I read some good reviews. Usual stuff...indie folk rock....sounds like Fleetwood Mac...etc. Well, they really do sound like Fleetwood Mac on this record at times (Head Home is almost a FM homage, until the guitar solo), but the comparison only goes so far (and who doesn't love Rumours? Lindsay Buckingham is the shit). This is still very good original stuff. Beautiful multi-tracked vocals tha...

Sorry for not posting part two yesterday, my laptop has been acting up lately. Midlake is the second band I discovered last Saturday night. I have posted 'Balloon Maker', my favorite song, from the album Bamnan and Silvercork. I think they did a great job with this song. I can close my eyes and I almost believe I am soaring around the world in a hot air balloon. watch this video for their song...
