I was working a little (against my will) this morning. I had my corporate-devil digital music player selected to play the last few albums I’ve downloaded when the Ramblin’ Jack Elliot album, Hard Travelin’: Songs By Woody Guthrie And Others chimed in. This is a GREAT collection of folk songs, even for people who don’t…

Downloaded Music – January 2008
This is a new section I’m thinking about doing. Every month I get 90 downloads from emusic. Sometimes I just don’t know what to pick, so I fish around till I find something I might like. This month I downloaded some pretty cool stuff and I’d like to share… L’autre Bout Du Monde by Emily…
Childish Music is a compilation of songs loosely aimed at superhip, progressive people (aka babies) and maybe not even aimed at kids, as the title implies. Nontheless, it’s a hefty compilation with some really great tracks. I found it through a search on Devendra Banhart because [I’m obsessed and] he has a track on the…

If anyone has any more information on this artist, please pass it my way. I learned about Alexei Aigi through my dear friend Yevgeniy about 2 years ago when he and his wife Anna came to visit Justin & me in California. I’m not going to bore you with how much I miss my friends,…

Devendra Banhart

We were all basically alone / Despite what all his studies had shown / What was mistaken for closeness was just a case for mitosis This is a great freakin’ album.
