I’ll have to check Kylesa out, Steve – hadn’t heard of them before. Good to see you “here!”

Thanks for sharing Pantha du Prince. I loved what he is doing in this. I hope htere is a new Boards of Canada record out this year. That would be nice.

There was some great stuff in 2009 and there will be even better things in 2010. I am looking for ward to the Kylesa record that they are working on this winter. The record they did last year was good but this next one will be great.

Mary — Excellent selection. I’ve been obsessing on Animal Collective so it was perfect to hear this sparkling new Panda Bear / PDP. Best Coast is interesting — reminds me of MEdicine and My Bloody… ilk shoegazing… Enjoyed M Craft too.

Thanks for including Ha Ha Ha Ha Happy New Year….

I like that Best Coast song… the viddy too. Funny you should mention Kirwan and the late Sandy Denny. That goes back a ways progressively speaking. My only encounter with the Cramps was when I was hanging around in Hollywood at the Masque in around about 78 or 80… (Or was that X)… anyway, My Stepbrother was in a band called the Simpletones and I was drunk and in a hurry for the Cramps to get off the stage so the tones could play, so I made my opinion heard loud and clear and got hit in the head with a flying V.

My point is that when you hit 55 and start getting cheap meals at Dennys you can still conjure up images… from Cilla Black to Radiohead and everything in-between, and think your still in tune with the music, but suddenly the Jonas Brothers come on TV and you realize that all those memories are just dust in the wind. Did I say that? I mean I listen to TOOL and take meds for arthritis!!! Whats up wit dat??

Play Free Bird… Or Chinese Rocks… It dont matter.
