Here's what I'm listening to...



More so lately than in recent memory, folks have been asking me what I've been listening to. Here's a 12 song playlist that should carry you for a few weeks or at least until I remember to create a post of this nature again. Many of these tunes have been culminated from various music blogs around the web. Many of these are available on iTunes and you can probably also find them if you conduct a quick search on elbo.ws. Here's the list:

AA Bondy "I Can See the Pines are Dancing" from the album When The Devil's Loose

The Swell Season "In These Arms" from the album Strict Joy

Blitzen Trapper "Black River Killer" from the album Black River Killer EP

Malcolm Middleton "Carry Me" from the album Waxing Gibbous

Gregory Alan Isakov "Evelyn" from the album This Empty Northern Hemisphere

Port O'Brien "Sour Milk / Salt Water" from the album Threadbare

David Bazan "Bless This Mess" from the album Curse Your Branches

The Mountain Goats "Genesis 3:23" from the album The Life of the World to Come

Fruit Bats "The Ruminant Band" from the album The Ruminant Band

Great Plug from Munich!!



I love the internet. I stumbled upon this via Twitter. A blog in Munich called das klienicum wrote some words about my music and plugged my records!! Pretty cool! I ran the piece through Google Translate and this is what it returned:

"na, the josh preston I do not refuse, although his last note to the world from the 08 november comes. is therefore contrary to my aktualitätswahn, but it is part of the therapy (not always just the hypes to follow). I know a lot about the guy with his guitar not only that I am close to what he and what he has to sing. the (below), there are player for each of his four albums (+1 ep). as always, listen to yourself!"

So cool. Have a great week and thanks for sharing!
