Sounds Like November
Elliot Smith always sounded like November to me, God rest his soul. Just something about the bitter-sweetness of his voice that seemed to jive so well with this time of year in Ohio.
The reason I bring this up at all, is that the weird irony glitch in the Itunes shuffle mode seemed to kick in again this evening. I was just sitting here, minding my own business, returning a few emails when these two songs came on....back to back. Each one reminding me a lot of Mr. Smith...and thus, that November-esque sound. Had to pass them along...
* Liam Finn - 'Wide Awake On The Voyage Home' MP3
* The Dead Trees - 'My Friend Joan, She Never Asks' MP3

that is my favourite Liam Finn song.
Elliott does sound like November. Autumn is my favourite season.
PS just realized that the other song you posted is mislabeled. the band is called The Dead Trees, and I have a signed LP of King of Rosa (the name of their debut album) from when I went to see Little Joy.
And this is exactly why one shouldn't blog while hopped up on cold medicine and a lack of sleep! Thanks H...and I love how you worked a Strokes related reference in there somehow ;-)
Your blog is cool
always.
do you like any of their other songs? I really dig "Shelter", it's funky in a non-funk way.
