LISTEN UP: Sounds Like Fish

  • Gorilla vs Bear has some nice things to say about young folkster Benoit Pioulard, and a nice live track from Sufjan Stevens, who I think Pioulard sort of sounds like.
  • Speaking of soundalikes, Rewritable Content has an entire post’s worth of songs that resemble one another, including tracks by The Decemberists, The Spinto Band and Jens Lekman.
  • If you’re wondering what a live version of a brand new Modest Mouse track sounds like, head on over to Stereogum and find out.
  • If you want some more of that new Ghostface we love so much, roll on down to Notes From a Different Kitchen and get some more fish.
  • Instrumental Analysis has a few tracks from one of my favorite new rock & roller groups, Middle Distance Runner.

LISTEN UP: Smooth & Sensitive

  • Fluxblog has The Walkmen’s smooth cover of Harry Nilsson’s “Don’t Forget Me”.
  • MOKB has an entire live set from sensitive singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur.
  • The kids at Scenestars have a tune from The Stills’ first record since 2003’s minor masterpiece Logic Will Break Your Heart. Logic will also dictate your going and grabbing the song.
  • Aquarium Drunkard is cleansing a few Thetans by posting a few rare tracks from everyone’s favorite hipster Scientologist - Beck!
  • I’ve been hearing good things about the latest album by The Decembrists, mostly from bespectacled bookish types that work in record stores, but good things all the same. Head over to The Yellow Stereo and tell me whether the indie nerds are right.
