quick post at the end of the day here. i missed another pay day song last time so here’s another double dose of songs from albums i am highly likely to buy next time i make a run to amoeba.

frightened rabbit – the modern leper

heard this first on blog fresh, and loved it instantly. i heard bits of the shout out louds’ more passionate singles; jessica said it reminded her a little bit of counting crows when i first played it for her. now as much as i try i can’t but hear that too, and yet i still plan to pick it up. and if i’m willing to do that despite connections to that rasta teddy-bear looking dude, you know it must be good.

throw me the statue – about to walk

this one i picked up from a KEXP podcast, and knowing nothing other than what i gleaned from a quick trip to their myspace page afterward, already cannot stop listening to this song. it’s got the same wordy wonder of casiotone for the painfully alone, whom i really dig, only with more instruments and texture. beauty.

enjoy yourselves while i finish up my day and go home to potentially finish my book tonight and have something to post about tomorrow.
