Hendo Bendo Mix

Here's a batch of songs for you to prep you for the most important day in recent memory. There isn't really a theme (which I will try to focus more on in later posts...), beyond the fact that this is all stuff that I got recently, and has all been released relatively recently.

Hush Arbors - Gone
Juana Molina - El Vistido
Valet - We Went There
Shogun Kunitoki - Montezuma
Grails - Reincarnation Blues

Biases

One of my projects since moving to a new apartment has been to go through the collection of cd's I have which were affixed to magazines I bought. This has helped me to discover or re-discover artists and bands and helps pass time. 

Josh Ritter is an artist I know almost nothing about save he was on a label that merged with one I used to work for. And Shrimp Cracker and I saw him perform The River at a Bruce Springsteen tribute show. And he has curly hair. I guess I also know that he must be a decent songwriter/crafter as evidenced by Girl In The War, a track included on Uncut's April 2006 Playlist. 

While writing this, I googled Josh Ritter and found out he's from Idaho. If I had ever given it thought before, I would imagine singer-songwriters from Idaho would sound a lot like Josh Ritter but if that were the case then guys like Josh Ritter wouldn't be all that special, if they indeed are. 

I like this song but before you guys start making fun of me for that triple-A shit you pull whenever we're out together (however rarely that is) I just want to state that this song is no worse or better than some of the other crap we've posted on this thing. Also I've seen some of your emusic downloads. How's that for a complex?
