3 Singer/Songwriters & Worthy News Item

Today is 3 singer/songwriters day and also worthy news item! No review. Sorry. Enjoy anyway.

Alright, here's my story: M. Ward; kind of a short story... Wait! I'm only kidding; that's not all. Here it goes: I bought Transistor Radio and thought it was okay. I wasn't particularly enthralled but did enjoy a couple of tracks and when I heard all those glowing reviews for Post-War I didn't pay them much mind. However, yeah there is always a however, I heard Post-War; and, I liked it. Alrite, yeah it was released last year, officially old news, but this is my site and I'll post what I want to. Anyway, this album is decidedly less folk than I remember Transistor Radio being. That is a good thing. Such a good thing. And I love folk music. But wait. What am I even talking about? I'm going to let the music speak for itself now; you'll get the idea.

Next! Anyone who is anyone will know that I've been listening to Patrick Wolf borderline obsessively. If you don't believe me take a quick gander at my last.fm charts for last week:



There you go, I even embedded it right in the post for you! Anyway, Patrick Wolf: 302 plays, according to music listening standards that is borderline obsessive. So, a new track for you to hear. This one is called Adder and it is the b-side to Accident & Emergency, the very first single (see video a couple posts down). Straight from the Wolf, "It's kind of about a boy and a snake having a little romantic encounter." Well, I think this is maybe a tad strange, but a fantastic song nonetheless.

And finally. Wait Matt... there's more? This is too much; you're blowing my mind with content! Ha! I proceed... Well, I suppose I could just review his album in another post, I hadn't really thought of doing that... Alrite. You will all have to wait for tomorrow for me to review his album. It's really good, like... so good. But, you must wait.

Official Worthy News? Item:

Akron/Family will be playing at the Middle East tomorrow night! They are a fantastic band. Go; see them. You can watch this video to maybe possibly understand what to expect.



I've heard they do facemelting too so don't get locked too into this; for your own sake.
