The Portland band Mimicking Birds have just released a brand new self-titled ablum, which unfortunately I do not have yet. I do have their gorgeous 2009 EP ,however, 'Home And Somewhere Else' and it appears that a few tracks are on both releases. The band has been championed by fellow by fellow Pacific Northwesterner and Modest Mouse leader Issac Brock, which is how I first heard about the band...on a blog post of his I believe.

Mark Kozelek proved that Modest Mouse songs more than hold up when given the stripped down treatment. His Sun Kil Moon album of Modest Mouse covers, 'Tiny Cities" is an album I adore.

It is now 3:37AM and I can't sleep to save my life...time to bring in the big guns...yes, I will now put on Josh Ritter's 'Animal Years.' I LOVE this record...and that I am counting on it to put me to sleep is in no way an insult...quite the opposite actually. It's like the musical equivalent of a security blanket.
Since I am up, here are a couple of my favorite JR covers. His sublime take on Modest Mouse's 'Blame It On The Tetons' and an incredible version of the Springsteen classic 'The River.'

This guy is ALL class! And he sets a Craigslist record...the most bad nautical metaphors ever packed into one missed connection. Hard to believe this guy is still single.

Why weren't you at the Boat Club???? - m4w - 38
Why weren't you there last night K.T.? I better see you there tonight.
Wear something low cut, I want to see some nipple poking out.
I'll be your bow, if you be my stern.
I want to set a nautical record, the more "knots" we can make, the better.
Don't throw me overboard.
You may want to bring some Dramamine for all the rocking, and a life jacket is always suggested.
Will i be lucky enough tonight to sink my anchor?******
So many obvious musical choices on this one..I couldn't limit myself to one...or even two for that matter:
Cat Power - 'Sea Of Love'Modest Mouse - 'Dramamine'Sun Kil Moon - 'Dramamine'

I have always loved the way Isaac Brock has had with words. He has this amazing way to take the kind of thoughts that go through every body's heads and set them to these incredibly catch indie rock songs. Songs like 'Float On' and 'Polar Opposites' are nothing less than brilliant.
This one came up on shuffle earlier and I just felt like sharing it...and this refrain, truer words were never spoken...I find other people's lives infinitely more interesting than mine.
