This is just another reason to wish I liked Sigur Ros, I guess.

Well, I've been really enjoying their album but it took me a while to warm to it.

La Bergere, "Ouvarosa." A project with singer Sylvie Berger, who works with Evelyne Girardon; accordion player Emmanuel Pariselle, who had a great LP almost 20 years ago and who I have been looking for more stuff from ever since; with the great Gabriel Yacoub in the background. Yacoub wrote some songs, sings some background, plays some stuff, produced, and released it on his own label. I had to send off an international money order for this one, it just came in today's mail. As I'd hoped, it's fairly reminiscent of Malicorne -- more so than Yacoub's recent solo work. But it's also more chanson-style where Malicorne went more towards early music. Only four tracks in so far, of course.

Coope Boyes & Simpson, "Twenty-Four Seven." Jawdroppingly good album from English acapella communists. :) I'm going to have to go back and pick up some of their albums which I skipped.

Sandy Denny, "Full Moon" (in honour of the full moon tonight)
Gentle music, rock away the sadnesses in me.
Rock away my lonely yesterdays
Like pennies on the ocean
'Til no trace of them I see,
'Til moonlight shows no ripples on the waves.
And then the clear reflection will remain,
Perhaps the same reflection of that same full moon.

"Camelot Motel" by Mary Gauthier (Say "go-SHAY," y'all) off her new CD, FILTH & FIRE. This disc is every bit as good as what I'd been hearing for the past couple of months via BBC Radio. Definitely my favourite disc of the Summer so far.

La Vole'e de Castors, "VDC." The band name translates as "A Flock of Beavers" and they are from Quebec; similar in basic sound to La Bottine Souriante but they play some interesting tricks with the rhythm and toss a sitar into one track. Another BBC-inspired purchase which arrived in the mail while I was in Colorado.

Ashley Hutchings and pals, "Morris On." Rocked up English folk dance music, one of the classics of the genre. I'm horrified to have just calculated that it's 30 years old.

La Volee d'Castors, again, same as resp:298. This is growing on me rapidly. Wow. Just spectacular interplay between the instrumental lines , and with the choral-style Quebecois vocals and dancing feet percussion.

Gas Station Washroom by The Frantics, on a 1986 Dr. Demento show. Very creepy. This one is sung, while most Frantics bits are usually narratives.

Just ending ... Blue Murder, "The Banks of Primroses"
I just found this new one at Waterloo Records! I'd say more about it, but
since it's just more British Folk.... I would like to say:
Support Independent Music Retailers!

Frank Zappa, "Apostrophe". I'd put a quote from this into an Agora item, then I had to actually put the vinyl on and listen to the sucker again. What a great album!
