I have a few random tracks I’ve been digging taken from some recent releases and some not so recent…A little indie-pop to brighten your Sunday along with some dreamy indie-rock to sweep you to far away lands.
mp3: Say What You Will – The Lea Shores
Guillotine 2007 – Get It
mp3: Your Fridge And I, The Insomniac – The Camaromance
Different Paths 2006 – Get It
mp3: Thursday – Asobi Seksu

On another note, I’ve seen a few great films in the past couple of weeks that deserve a mention and a couple out on DVD as well:
“The TV Set”
Written and Directed by Jake Kasdan
Quite a funny flick (Mentok, I highly recommend)
“The Namesake”
Screenplay by Sooni Taraporevala, Directed by Mira Nair
My mom wanted to see this film so we went for her birthday, I’ve been raving about it ever since.
“Waitress”
Written and Directed by Adrienne Shelly
This was a good film, I enjoyed it but there were a couple of things that just didn’t work for me. If you see it, chime in and we can discuss.
On DVD
“Little Children”
Written and Directed by Todd Field
“Volver”
Written and Directed by Pedro Almodóvar

Sisters Bianca and Sierra Casady are behind the funky Avant-garde trip-hop goodness you hear. Pitchfork hated it but I think it deserves a listen. Even if it is just to hear the seductive dream pop of Promise. Just the way I like to kick off my weekend indeed. Similar artists: Joanna Newsom, Portishead and Bjork
mp3: Rainbowarriors – CocoRosie
The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn (Touch and Go, 2007) – Get It

And I think we all agree that Mr. Krug can do no wrong, this album is no exception.
