note: Thursday afternoon list. A little survey what’s on other blogs, brief change from complicated list. I always thought the blogs have the most diverse selection of new music if not wildly erratic. It’s great for hunting new tunes and finding different texture. So here is early winter 2008 sound. In softer and more melodical texture. I pick mellower posts. This is what the kids on the interweb are listening, so as a rule it is hip. (haa haa. There was some argument if mp3 blogs are any good as the new tastemakers. It wasn’t such an interesting argument. The music is much better than the critique.)

    Oh that pretenders songs fits perfect in a smokey playlist I’ve been working on, I’ll be snatching that one thank you very much… still I don’t have enough songs. Any further recommendations sq?

    I have none. I am knee deep in shostakovitch and electronic. lol. They are too depressing and dry. I am trying very hard to post pop and rock.

    I like “hello Benjamin”. Thank you.
    I love Beirut since it was released their “Nantes”.
    Good mix SQ.

    Moka I’d like to suggest you “koop” or “Nouvelle Vague”, but perhaps their names or not news.

The song makes its imprint
in the air, making itself felt,
a felt world. Here, there,
the stunned silence

of knowing I will not remember
what I heard;

futures that will never happen,
a fluidity we cannot achieve
except as a child
creating possibility.

This is the untranslatable song
hidden in the earth.
