so what's been newerish to your music rotation lately?
i've added vampire weekend (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=105993385) (apparently eric told me about these guys and they've been our itunes since before langerado, good thing i listened so well:p.) i finally remembered to add these guys to my ipod right before a super busy day at work. nice little bubble to the music to get me ready for the day, then an added lift listening to them on my lunch. cap cod kwassa kwassa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wHl9qRsMzw&feature=related). eric says he can only listen to a song or two before he ods on bouncy, but i'm all for whatever puts a little more pep in my step. better than caffeine!
i've mentioned kylie audlist (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=310414496) in the bamboos thread, but i really like this chick. such a strong voice and some great music backing her up as well. community service announcement (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2Yv9l216do)
i also grabbed the might imperials (http://www.daptonerecords.com/pages/dap003LP.html) thunder chicken. the album is almost 10 years old, but still new to me! it's got that funky feeling that's been attracting me as of late. the matador (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtiEM8Qf9dY)
and though i haven't' been listening to much of it (because it's not out yet,) i'm excited for umphrey's mcgee's upcoming album, mantis. they're really going for a preorder push, and having some luck it seems. on the day of the release everyone who had preordered it will get an email for a digital download. they also have bonus material that will be released in levels depending on how many people preorder.
Bonus Material Part I: Here is where we aim to elevate from standard to extraordinary with the pre-order experience. We have set aside a wide variety of bonus tracks for pre-order customers--some of these tracks are outtakes, alternate, and early versions of songs from the new album. Other tracks were culled from the archives, including some oft-requested rarities such as tracks from the annual acoustic Holiday shows and tracks from historical "Taper Appreciation Nights." We will include 'fly on the wall' recordings from inside the control room of the studio as we wrote, discussed, edited, and finalized arrangements and sections of these songs. There will also be video snippets from album recording sessions and beyond, including unreleased live concert footage, and a whole host of miscellaneous goodies from soundchecks to solo projects to a high-resolution downloadable booklet complete with photos, lyrics, hand written notes, alternate song titles and more!
Bonus Material Part I available EXCLUSIVELY to those who pre-order.
we've already started to get songs emailed to us. one was a song that hasn't been heard before, but is on the album and i'm very excited to hear the rest. they really are trying out some new sounds, but with the same um level of excellence.
