the urchin

this song!

the player piano

don't know much about these guys but i do know they should have sung all the time. they didn't. so much twinkle.



and there's a live version

duster

break up your band unless you sound like this

the 8 bit revival

this is the lead track from a 4 track EP called "up and atom", my favourite song on there. it's bouncy braid / promise ring worship from 2003 or so, back when no-one was going near this style of music. here is my review from the time. the band made a few records post this, but never quite hit the heights that they do here for my money. lovely stuff.

the dying californian

why is there no dying californian on youtube? let's fix that. ex nuzzle. sad cowboys.

hush harbor

someone beat me to the punch here. but what a punch.







there's more than this. if i can track the other bits down in mp3 form, i'll add them.

the brighest comet II

so i was just scrolling through a bunch of old posts on here, and there was a deleted comet made by "andi camp" on a man i fell in love with post. that was odd, i thought. i clicked on it, and it took me to a blog with 2 posts made in 2013, but it definitely was by andi camp who was in ribbon fix, and things. i wondered what andi had wanted to say about man i fell in love with, and then what had prompted her to delete it. and then i wondered about the brightest comet. there was one video on youtube already, winter time, so i uploaded "three".



and then i uploaded "perfect"



and here's "girth" that i found online



hopefully andi is still out there making music.

three minute movie

got one for you. only a year late. three minute movie is a snuffy smile band from ages ago. they had a couple of albums then disappeared. they seem to be about again though, playing shows, probably not sounding a whole lot like they used to. their cd "rhythm of wind and water" was rather braid-esque, whilst "the film reflects a dramatic city" was more superchunk. here's the lead track from "rhythm..." and i hope you agree that it is quite the belter.
