New Digs.........


Not much else to say except these are some of the songs i've been spinnin' lately.


The Roadside Graves - Far and Wide
The Roadside Graves - Ruby
from their upcoming Demo EP

The Graves have released some pieces of a Demo they've been working on. These two tracks show the versatility and boundless instrumentation that a seven-piece band can provide. Buy their latest album.


The Acorn - Good Enough
i only have a handful of songs from this Canadian band, some of which i really like. They've put out 2 albums and 2 EP's since '04. This newest find is an almost unrecognizable cover of song that is dear to my heart - Cyndi Lauper's Good Enough was the theme song to one of the greatest movies ever put on film....

Jayber Crow - Freeze and Thaw
Jayber Crow - Devil and the Desert
i finally got my hands on Two Short Stories that came out in April. As the title suggests, the album is a bona fide 2-sider. Side A - Freeze and Thaw. Side B - What Is This Wilderness? Each takes you on an acoustic journey with waxing and waning intensity as the tracks roll on. If you're looking for a solid album that has a story (or two) to tell, pick this one up.

  2. That looks like the COW record store in Ocean Beach CA. Do all used record stores look the same?
