For Your Listening Pleasure

Housekeeping note: I've been posting more and more often to my Facebook profile, so my more day-to-day updates are appearing there more regularly. You can follow me there even if you're afraid of Facebook because you think it's going to make public everything from your social security number to your cholestoral level, or because you have no friends and don't want anyone to find out. My profile is public, so no login or account is required.

I'd like to be writing here more substantially, but thankfully I've been swamped with actually performing or recording or writing music lately. The next major show I'm prepping for is my solo show at Martyrs' this Thursday (11/19) with Dylan Rice, and Canasta is gradually getting to the finish line with the album.

So in lieu of substance I'm going to do what most other music blogs do and plug the shit I've been listening to lately:
Ramona Falls - This is a solo/side project from one of Menomena's members. There's almost always a piano present in the mix but there's also plenty of (melo)dramatics.
Scotland Yard Gospel Choir - The release of their new album has been overshadowed by their extremely scary and serious van accident, but ..And the Horse You Rode in On was almost instantly in my Top 10 list of breakup albums as soon as I finished my first listen.
Final Fantasy - Really just trying to stave off my impatience for the new album due out in January.
