I keep coming back to how gorgeous this record is - in composition (music and lyrics), performance, and production. It's a beauty and I can't stop listening to it.

Old Mythologies might be my favorite, but Devil's Harp and Beggar in the Morning, too.

My my my, what a treat.

Congrats! Very cool!

When is the performance? Will it be available for streaming or download after the fact?

That FB link ain't workin.

Rock on!

Some Are Lakes is a really great record, but I haven't heard the others. With Andrew Barr on drums and Justin Vernon producing, it's definitely worth a listen.

Alsoa is gorgeous.

Suffocation Keep is quite delicate and melodic.

and how bout Driving Backwards with You?

Oh, and Hoc No Seh. Anyone listened to the Sculler's show lately?

There are so many beautiful songs!

I can't stop listening to her. One review I read of the album Lhasa said something like, "The melodies are familiar and irresistible, and yet totally original." That is so true on songs like Rising and Love Came Here, and on other songs. The haunting and soulful quality of her voice is ano...

Great stuff. Extremely soulful.

Thanks for the tip.

The harp is a beautiful instrument.

Great lyric in the song Rising.

I was rising up
Hitting the ground
And breaking.

Manu Chao - Clandestino Kayhan Kalhor - various Low Anthem - OMGCD JFJO - Winterwood Portico Quartet - Knee-Deep (anybody heard of the instrument "the hang"?) Fionn Regan - The End of History (impressive) Jonas Hellborg (with Shawn Lane) - Good People in Times of Evil Ray LaMontagne - Goss...

OMGCD is a great record. As someone else mentioned, I can do without the Tom-Waits-ish rockers, but the rest of the stuff is great - some of it really gorgeous and impressive. The lyrics and vocal performance on the song "Charlie Darwin" make it an especially beautiful piece, to me anyway:...

I'd consider it. Maybe you can provide a vehicle for interested parties to sign up for information updates by e-mail off-list.

Didn't see too many shows this year, but I have to add to the list:

1. Bon Iver with Bowerbirds, Portland ME
2. Sonya Kitchell with The Slip, Portland ME
3. Broken Social Scene, with Land of Talk, Brunswick, ME

Does anyone know what kind of acoustic guitars Brad uses? I'm particularly interested in the instruments used on "The Fall Apartment" - I believe at least one of them is a nylon-string instrument. I'd love to know the brand/model, etc. I'll soon be in the market for a hybrid classical guit...

Got mine yesterday - yeah!

Now I just need copies of Gecko and Alivelectric with three signatures!
