Soundtrack to "the Lamb"

more likely than not, you don't care what I'm listening to whilst I trapse about the Continent. You have your own busy life, and perhaps you don't have time to concern yourself with such ridiculously detailed things. Or perhaps you'd rather be inEurope yourself right now, and you know that if you were, you'd have a better soundtrack too.

Well OK, perhaps you would, but as someone who is always so affected by the music I choose to inundate myself with, I feel like giving you a blog without musical reference or context is only part of the story.

So here's the quick list of what's bouncing in my ears (over and over again) while deeper thoughts pervade the grand space between my headphones.

sorry, no downloads. I don't fear the CIA in Estonia, but the RIAA can still find me.

Jason Segel - Dracula's Lament
LCD Sound System - All my Friends
Sufjan Stevens - Decatur, Steel man of metropolis
Cake - Short Skirt,Long Jacket
Sleater Kinney - Roller Coaster
Tullycraft - Every Little Thing
Zea - We burried Indie Rock Years Ago
Delta 5 - mind Your Own business
Za Panther - Casket Breakdown
Mountain Goats - Sax Rohmer, Lovecraft in Brooklyn, San Bernadino, No Children
Mates of State- For the Actor,Hoarding it for Home
Aqueduct -- The Tulsa Trap
Ike Reilly Assassination - Whatever Happened to the Girl in Me?
The Henchmen - Theif on bicycle
The Caesars - It's not the fall that hurts
Heroes Severum- I can
William Shatner/ben Folds - Common People
various swing(Basie. Louie, Duke)


And then there's the music I really wish I had with me, and may be downloading soon...

Thelonious monk - anything! Esp. Genius of modern music sessions
Dave Holland - Prime Directive
more Jason Segel "Dracula" music
modest mouse - florida (and others)
new pornographers - twin cinema, sing me spanish techno
Billy Bang - At Play in the Fields of the Lord
