i have never heard orlando but the new fosca lp is rather nice, a bit like baxendale(gasp everyone here despises baxendale! sorry to fosca then) i think only a smidge older a trifle melancholier. i always seem to join tape swaps out of habit and then stress over the construction of the tapes and then after mailing them i go and get a record and think gosh if only i had had this record before making that mic tape the mix tape might have been perfect. this time it is the demarnia lloyd ep, gosh she is wonderful. magical how a cd basically made up of her voice and a bunch of fog and tinkling can make me smile for nearly forever. apparently she has a new cloudboy record done too! and if i were german i would be able to see them live as they are going to tour germany(of all places) to celebrate the new record. i remember the good old days when brilliant records from new zealand were a weekly occurence and now it is more like bi-decadal(is that a word?). future bible heroes are the weakest of the merrit affiliated bands, true, well i have heard gothic archies so i don't know what i am talking about but i don't like the deification of mr merrit i was very uncomfortable watching him in san francisco a his minions paid homage in almost reverential silence and stpehin with an i lapped it up. i sat on the side and rubbed my feet on the carpet and then i heard someone say she say amy linton and stuart murdoch thrift shopping, maybe they were working out a trade stevie for wyatt. amy's second favorite perfect pop song is velocity girl, lovely. keith demarnia lloyd should get all of the songs on the next sixths record. yes. more daniel handler. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
