Track of the Moment: what we're listening to when we do our thing.
There Was A Boy
No idea where or how I first head this from Pennsylvania-native Meg Baird.
Doesn’t matter. I’m speechless.
It’s on last.fm and amazon.com.
La Ritournelle
Reminded of Sebastien Tellier’s gorgeous track by the advent of summer, memories of first hearing springing up from where they had pleasantly been snuggled.
Honey Dove
A Motown classic from the ’50s or ’60s? Nope. The album comes out on June 2.
Lee’s on MySpace. If there was even an instant classic, this is it.
Mere Guru Dev
Last time around we didn’t go. It was billed as a “concert” and held in (admittedly beautiful) Unity Temple on the Plaza—not in a yoga studio or high school gym, places where we’ve had previously the pleasure of joining him in kirtan.
This time it’s billed as a kirtan—and though the location hasn’t changed we got ticket numbers 3, 4 and 5.
Mere Guru Dev is a rock, grounding and solid. Yet this duet is gorgeous—thanks to the appearance of his daughter.
Tortoise Regrets Hare
Loved Fife-based James Yorkston’s gorgeous track “Summer Song” when it was first released, and we’ve happily just rediscovered him, in particular this lovely song. Reminiscent of Bonnie Prince Billy…
Honeybeast
Experimental DJ and animator Sheldon Drake is off to Berlin and gave us a little going away present—gritty and beautiful, it’s pure Schnoidl.
Bon voyage!
See
Can’t stop playing See by Jonathan Jeremiah.
A gorgeous, reflective track perfect for the end of winter.
100 Yard Dash
An old-school monster by producer Raphael Saadiq: 100 Yard Dash.

Rope of Sand
Loved Jamie Lidell’s album Jim when it came out around the beginning of ‘08, but it doesn’t seem to have aged well—except for the final track, Rope of Sand.
We’ve dusted it off and it’s in rotation once again. Check out Jamie Lidell online.
