First up Australian mix-master
Gotye (gore-ti-yeah) did "Learnalilgivinanlovin" from his new record
Like Drawing Blood (
online,
digital) which you should buy right now. Next was New York City's own 14-member, all-female accordion ensemble
The Main Squeeze Orchestra doing a cover of
Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" which you can
download for free from their website. Then we heard a great track from the equally great new
Sufjan Stevens album
The Avalanche - Outtakes and Extras from the Illinois Album (
iTunes,
Amazon) called "The Henney Buggy Band". And finally we heard ex-
Ben Folds Five drummer turned singer/songwriter
Darren Jessee's band
Hotel Lights' version of "End of the Tour" from the new substantially-less-than-awesome
They Might Be Giants tribute album
Hello Radio: The Songs of They Might Be Giants (
iTunes,
Amazon).
