I think I need to do an inventory of sorts and search the nets for all the bands I loved last year--maybe even the year before--and see what they've got coming out. It's a lot to keep up with, this indie music scene, and as much as I try to stay on top of things, stuff slips by me.
The Real Tuesday Weld, for instance. He's got a new album out and I didn't even know about it until after the fact. Imagine that!
It's a very understated affair, a "live" performance recorded at London's "mythical" End of the World Club. It's kind of hard to explain the concept of the album, so I think you should go here to read about it. The first track I've heard is "Over the Hillside" and it's a beautiful, bittersweet, ghost of a love song.

I just ordered the CD and after it arrives I'll let you know what I think of the rest of it, but I bet you can predict my opinion.
This is such a beautiful song. Then again, I firmly believe 3/4 of all
songs should be in 3/4. I'm half joking (but only half). I can't wait to
hear your thoughts on the rest of the album. Thank you for sharing, MJRC.
it is indeed lovely. the cd just arrived, so i'll give it a thorough listen
and get back about it. and so far at least one other song is in 3/4. which
is very suitable for the kind of music he makes.
I think this is pretty too. And I'm glad you got to go out dancing this
weekend!! :)
