Toonsday Tuesday in Tunesville ... and Bless You

[jonnyhambone]

picked up the reissued Bobb Trimble albums this last week - Harvest of Dreams and Iron Curtain Innocence from 1980 and '81 I think. Really diggin' these both. Has a late night feel but is still super catchy pop at its heart with Bobb's soft, high voice. Reminds me of a lost Big Star album but not as heartwrenching. Nice vinyl from Secretly Canadian.
Second listen through the Bon Iver cd right now. Pretty sweet...I'll have to live with it but I've been humming 'Skinny Love' all day.

Just got my copy and haven't even listened yet, although I've heard some of it already and know I'll really like it. Also just got in the mail last night the debut from the big buzz band of the moment, Vampire Weekend. Just started to listen, but a very fun record for those that still love that English Beat sound (and yeah, I'm very guilty on that score, one of the best bands of that era). Unfortunately, mastered way too loud, so nowhere as good sounding as those records by the Talking Heads and the Beat and Paul Simon and Oingo Boingo and all the rest, and of course musicheads of my generation have heard it all before, and probably heard it done better, but still loads of monkey fun, so no apologies from me, and don't be peeing in my pool

A friend of mine saw them locally a week or so ago and was raving about the show too.
