Not being a good zealot

DeVotchKa came out with a new album and I have been enjoying it as much as I have their other albums. I came across SoundCloud and thought I would create a nice little DeVotchKa compilation for my readers to expose them to the wonderful sounds of my favorite group. I picked two songs off of each of their six albums. Unfortunately, one of them could not be uploaded because it is infringing on copyright (it is a cover of a Siouxsie and the Banshees song). So we'll do a YouTube workaround below the player.

New music in February

Good googly moogly, am I excited about this month. Two of my favorite groups are releasing new music.

Airborne Toxic Event released the first single off of their new album. The song is called Changes and the album is going to be released in April.



DeVotchKa is releasing their new album on Valentine's Day. The first single is called 100 Other Lovers.

Music

Since 2008 just ended, I thought I'd wrap it up by posting some of the musical artists whom I enjoyed listening to a lot in 2008. Since I've moved to Lancaster County, I feel my musical tastes have been....I don't want to say broadened because where they have expanded is relatively narrowed. I guess I have become exposed to more music. This has largely been due to XPN. Just a great radio station. Most other years would find me listening to a mix of genres. There'd be some classical and jazz on this list. This past year, though, I seemed to listen to a lot of "alternative rock". In some cases, I might have been late to the scene - the album I enjoyed may have been released in 2007 (or earlier for all I know) but I listened to and enjoyed these artists a lot.

The songs and groups I'm posting are in no particular order and are not necessarily my favorites by the artist. I chose them for how they exemplify the group, how the performance sounds in the clip and accessibility of media of the song (i.e., is there a decent YouTube rendition).

Sea Wolf - Winter Windows


We Are Scientists - Nobody Moves, Nobody Gets Hurt


Amp Fiddler - Faith


Stellastarr* - Sweet Troubled Soul


Rodrigo y Gabriela - Tamacun


Michael Tolcher - Speed Feels Better


Tegan and Sara - Nineteen


Of Montreal - Gronlandic Edit


and, of course,
Airborne Toxic Event - Gasoline


and
DeVotchKa - Head Honcho
