Git Yer Friday Music Blog downloads.
I hope to provide you, the reader, a selection of songs for your Friday. Not a crazy 23 song playlist, it is just 4 songs that caught the ear. Some music that I am very familiar with, some not so much. Overall, what more can you ask for? It’s Friday (of a long week for…

Absolutely The Best Unreleased Recordings – J. Tillman
So anyone who knows me knows that I am a little bit ridiculous about J. Tillman – the solo stuff. Not that everyone immediately jumps his role in Fleet Foxes anymore, as most of you know him separate from his day job (I hope). That being said, I almost wept uncontrollably when Adrian over at…

French Quarter has my hump day covered
This has been circling the webs for a couple of years, but just thought I would drag it out for a Wednesday. I am having an ass week and just needed something to cheer me up. A couple of ultra lo-fi covers are something that always makes me just a little bit warmer inside. You…

If You Haven’t Heard – The Vega Star
Sorry I have been remiss on the “If You Haven’t Heard” series here on Slowcoustic, but we have someone that you need to hear…if you haven’t heard. It’s corny I know, but sometimes it is simply a fact, The Vega Star is a band you will want to hear. The Vega Star are a Wisconsin…

Old Smog (and new Bill Callahan) on tap for my Sunday
Just getting into the new Bill Callahan album “Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle” which is due on April 14th through Drag City. While it is definitely Bill, it is a new Bill Callahan – He might have soared like said eagle and just maybe moved on from the classic Smog sound. Okay,…

Ladies AND Mens Night – “Gender is not an issue” playlist
As a Canadian, one has a reputation to protect. Other than the obvious traits such as good looks, massive talent in winter sports, ability to intake an entire pint with a “sip” there is the other one. We are nice people. With that in mind, how can I continue to be sexist in my playlists…

Trespassers William new EP preview – “Sparrow”
So the new EP “The Natural Order of Things” from Trespassers William will be released on May 25th and it is another great ambient electro-indie folk collage. While I tend to like most of TW stuff (come on, “Different Stars” and “Having” were great) and tend to fall over backwards at any chance I get…

Recommendations to me – Nathan Xander. Recommendation from me – Nathan Xander
So I get a recommendation – I get a lot of recommendations – but this one was from someone that I trust and someone not looking to “sell” me on anything. I take the recommendation, I listen. I listen some more, and I like. I like a lot. I am a firm believer that music…
