The best music blog I have ever seen:
Root Blog

Download everything up here, seriously. The Mississippi Records Tapes are great, especially Trust Your Child (children's songs that I have been listening to for the past week) and Black Plastic Singing Flats. Trust this blog - where else could you find an album from a "Congolese gospel group from the early 70's"?

Look at this, for example:

WHAT?

Grouper - Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill

2009-03-02T19:52:00.000-08:00

So I have been having a music identity crisis of late. I have found that I am fed up of a lot of the music on my computer, and I've just lost interest in a lot of it. I need something new! Helllpp me.

One album that I've recently acquired that is refreshing and different and wonderful is Grouper's Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill. A lot of the music that I am drawn to is perfect for sleeping, like this. It sounds like you are listening to it through fabric, it is feedback-y, and her voice is uniquely wavering and haunting. I have been listening to this while driving, while sleeping, while walking, but it is most appropriate late at night when you are alone. This album is delicate and hazy, and the best recent release I have heard.

"Love is enormous/ It's lifting me up/ I'd rather be sleeping."

Try a track: Grouper - Heavy Water/I'd Rather be Sleeping
