I finally spent some time (and parted with the hard earned) and got some new music:

Camera Obscura - Biggest Bluest Hifi
Camera Obscura - Underachievers Please Try Harder

I first heard this band on the John Peel 65th Birthday Party - it’s a lot like early Belle and Sebastian; mellow lyrics and guitar. Best served with a nice bottle of red.

Decemberists - Picaresque

This band is on tour this fall - nearest gig to SLC is in Boise, ID. Huh? Go figure. SLC truly is a live music backwater - my proof points are here and here.

Final hit was a couple of CDs from DJ Tiësto - a hot tip from Mark Schouls.

DJ Tiësto - In My Memory
DJ Tiësto - Parade of the Athletes

Nice - a couple of hours of European electronic music. Good for the drive into work.
