Their album "when your heartstrings break" is one of my all-time favorites. Brilliant, lush pop-y joy, with great instramental sections. "The coast is never clear" is also good, a little more mellow. And lo, what's this?! A visit to the website indicates that they have a new album out... I've gotta check that out! Also, I've been listening to Delerium's Karma lately, which is sort of in line with the world fusion dance genre you mentioned. And fun to spin fire to. :) Thu, 11 Dec 2003 21:07:16 GMT http://indieanoraks.tribe.net/thread/0cd605a6-2c25-42d0-88a7-612ecb7c335a#ec06d419-ed8a-4e64-9471-655bf65953cd Alice 2003-12-11T21:07:16Z http://indieanoraks.tribe.net/thread/0cd605a6-2c25-42d0-88a7-612ecb7c335a#20916a71-7904-46fa-8208-e6ca5efce76d hey all, my friend's label Eskimo Kiss Records has everything 1/2 off. http://www.eskimokissrecords.com/releases.htm Check it out.

The Mountain Goats- Tallahassee Death Cab for Cutie- The Photo Album Mates of State- team boo and My solo project Smog- Supper, Red Apple Falls, Knock Knock all of these albums (and bands!) are terrific- you can't go wrong. I try to recomend Smog to everyone I know, but I guess it's not something with a wide range of appeal. (though I think it's super hot) Also, JV is about to put out a new album and tour, so watch out for that! www.johnvanderslice.com Wed, 17 Dec 2003 07:20:02 GMT http://indieanoraks.tribe.net/thread/0cd605a6-2c25-42d0-88a7-612ecb7c335a#8872a465-4279-49f4-bbfd-dd808c0d1241 Megan 2003-12-17T07:20:02Z http://indieanoraks.tribe.net/thread/0cd605a6-2c25-42d0-88a7-612ecb7c335a#e7975f0d-1483-4aa1-ab5d-fea1fe494e41 www.filmschoolmusic.com www.fivermusic.com www.frankjordan.com www.silversunpickups.com try those to start Thu, 18 Dec 2003 06:42:27 GMT http://indieanoraks.tribe.net/thread/0cd605a6-2c25-42d0-88a7-612ecb7c335a#e7975f0d-1483-4aa1-ab5d-fea1fe494e41 Annie 2003-12-18T06:42:27Z http://indieanoraks.tribe.net/thread/0cd605a6-2c25-42d0-88a7-612ecb7c335a#6ec4497c-a44f-4cd7-8329-88c1cd7e52f0 If you are in SF or the Bay Area...

They do a Top 90.3 of the year list, which you might like. Go to kexp.org, click on their "charts," then on "Top 90.3" A very indie list with nice range, covering rock to the soft stuff, but all quality. I trust their taste quite a bit. Best of luck! -David Tue, 20 Jan 2004 19:23:23 GMT http://indieanoraks.tribe.net/thread/0cd605a6-2c25-42d0-88a7-612ecb7c335a#3382e851-627f-4c48-8106-61cd59392988 $item.owner.firstName 2004-01-20T19:23:23Z http://indieanoraks.tribe.net/thread/0cd605a6-2c25-42d0-88a7-612ecb7c335a#d3d3f7bf-3812-4853-80a3-cbe74fca9394 If you have iTunes you can listen to KEXP right through their radio player. It's great at-work stuff, especially for those of us on the East Coast. :) Or you could just stream it off their web site if you don't have iTunes. But I thought it was kind of neat that it's built in.

You can check it out at www.cmj.com and select "Radio 200" from the CMJ Charts box. Sun Kil Moon is #1 right now, but I can't say that I've been able to get into that record. I gave it a good hard listen in a local record shop, but it just wasn't doing it for me. Anybody have this album? Am I missing something?
