“I can’t get my head around it,
I keep feeling smaller and smaller.”
The National’s new song - I Need My Girl - that they debuted last week (and played live at their last show on the US High Violet tour at the Beacon Theatre.) Merry Christmas to ME!
It was a black tape recorder, the type that had six buttons at the bottom and one place for you to insert the tape. It had a handle; I remember this as I had to hold tight to it while my other hand gripped the staircase so I wouldn’t trip over the hem of my nightgown. The microphone attachment…
I had forgotten how much I loved Birdmonster until they played Ali & Todd’s Amazing Nuptials last weekend…not only are they the cutest, sweetest guys (who are insanely talented) but their songs are just perfect. They played an acoustic version of this song - Born to be Your Man - as part of the wedding & I’ve had it in my head ever since.

Upon finishing my second residency at Hopkins in Baltimore in September of 2007, I moved back to Williamsburg to start a new kind of practice:
- Patients would visit my website
- See my Google calendar
- Choose a time and input their symptoms
- My iphone would alert me
- I would make a house call
Another song from who I think may be my new favorite discovery of 2011: The Naked and Famous. This one’s called “Punching in a Dream” and makes me wish MGMT was more Oracular Spectacular and a lot less Congratulations.
The more I listen to this entire album - Mine is Yours - the more I love it. This will be the first song to hit my January Mix, so catch ‘em live last night on Jimmy Kimmell. (Then, go buy the album. Worth every penny!)
The new Iron & Wine album - Kiss Each Other Clean - dropped today. First listen, not HUGELY impressed, except for this song, “Walking Far From Home”. Not sure it’s fit for a monthly mix (or at least doesn’t really fit with January’s vibe thus far) but it’s a pretty catchy, solid song in the meantime. Enjoy!
I’ve been asking for a new Bon Iver album for a while, and while Justin hasn’t yet delivered the awesomeness, Seattle’s Slowwave is helping fill the gap. Their EP drops tomorrow (which I will be purchasing immediately) but in the meantime, they’ve released one song - Pour - for free download.
My favorite on the 6-track EP is “Gold” - you can listen to it all here:
