First up, Sacramento's
Low Flying Owls did "Georgie Shot Johnnie" which is BY FAR the best song on their 2003 album
Elixir Vitae (
iTunes,
Amazon). Then Brighton England's
Electrelane did "Bells" from their new album
Axes (
iTunes,
Other Music,
Amazon), which isn't quite as good as their previous
The Power Out (iTunes, Other Music, Amazon), but is worth looking into. Next, Norway's young'en
Sondre Lerche did his song "Stupid Memory" from his album
Two Way Monologue (
iTunes,
Other Music,
Amazon), which came out last year. And finally, an oldie-but-goodie from a band I recently noticed I had never put on
The Sounds in My Head,
Quasi did one of my favorite songs off my favorite of their albums. That is, they did "Smile" from their most excellent record
Field Studies (
iTunes,
Amazon,
Other Music).
