Apologies for the lateness of the update. Aside from various distractions, I was a bit uncertain where to go for this week, as my recent listens haven't drastically changed. But I finally gave the gigantic SXSW list a look (a green cassette means an mp3 is available for downloading), and basically Christmas came early. I guess I'm doing something right, because a number of the artists jumped out at me. Emilie Simon isn't playing SXSW, but she's at the top of the week, [...]

In this post I'll post (older) songs that are ok, but I don't feel like writing about (at least not right now) or some of my 2006 favorites that I've mentioned before (so no point in writing a longer introduction again)... A few 2006 favorites: + Anamia - Butterfly In Paris + Kind Of [...]
"There’s no such thing as heroes, just a bunch of ones and zeros", is an appropriate statement for the digital age in which we live in. Everything today is quantified, broken down in a bit stream of ones and zeros, even our relationships. It is also an appropriate statement for "The Immaculate Machine's" latest release "Ones And Zeros" and the track "No Such Thing As The Future". "Broken Ship" weaves a nautical tale of a struggling relationship. "We are sailing on a broken ship and only one of us can survive" laments Kathryn Calder amidst tight instrumentation. The [...]
