And I'll keep posting them until she gets a chance to play here. For God's sake, will somebody please bring this girl to Atlanta?!!!

Pickwick
 |
| Pickwick at The Earl (with Basia Bulat), April 30, 2013 |
Oh, look. Our old friends Pickwick, the best band you've never heard of, just recorded a Daytrotter session, which you can listen to or download if you're a member.
Enjoy.

Typhoon
If you're a fan or orchestral folk-rock, you know, bands like Beirut, Lost In The Trees, Fanfarlo, and Shearwater, or, if you live in Atlanta, Little Tybee and Oryx & Crake (if you live in San Francisco, Family Crest, I suppose), and you haven't yet heard Portland's Typhoon, arguably the best of all of them, then prepare yourself because you're in for a real treat.
Here they are, all 11 of them, in an August 29 session at Oregon Public Broadcasting.

Thanksgiving Song
A day late (actually two - I'm posting this on Saturday but back-dating it to Friday) and a dollar makes me hollar, or whatever the expression is, here's a holiday-appropriate song for Thanksgiving, a poignant meditation on loss and remembrance.

Courtney Barnett
Courtney Barnett, one of our favorite new artists of 2013, has done a Take-Away Show for Paris' La Blogotheque in Brooklyn, performing a stripped-down and slowed-down version of Avant Gardner, as well as Out of the Woodwork. "It is an altogether refreshing thing to meet someone on their first trip to a new country," whoever it is that writes for La Blogotheque notes. "Through their eyes, you get to strip disillusionment from your own and experience your home anew. Courtney Barnett was not only on her first trip to New York City, she was on her first trip anywhere when we met at the top of Prospect Park in Brooklyn to wander and record songs from her recently released Avant Gardener EP."
It's gratifying to see her getting some well deserved attention, and I've noticed that Georgia State's WRAS has started playing her songs.
Somebody bring this girl to Atlanta!
