Lightning Dust :: "Highway"

There’s something Blair-Witchy-creepy-good about this track from the band Lightning Dust. It’s a track from their self-titled disc which came out back in June. Turn the lights on and take a listen.

Ben Folds :: "Still Fighting It"

This is off of Ben Fold’s 2001 disc Rockin’ the Suburbs. Found myself listening to this one a lot since the birth of my own son.

A Fine Frenzy :: "Almost Lover"

This is the third time MMB has featured a tune by A Fine Frenzy this year. Her One Cell in the Sea disc is one of the best of year. Enjoy “Almost Lover” by this immensely talented young artist.

DARREN HAYMAN

His new cd Darren Hayman and the Secondary Modern is available now. “The Protons and the Neutrons” is a strange, hypnotizing spectacle but damn I like the song.

New 11 track cd is out now.

Over The Rhine :: "Don’t Wait For Tom"

I may have spoken too soon when I declared Iron & Wine’s The Shepherd’s Dog as the cd of the year. Over The Rhine’s new release The Trumpet Child is just as incredible and after several listens of each, MMB just doesn’t have enough mojo to declare a clear cut “winner”. But who cares…both CDs are insanely great. Over The Rhine’s Child is a bit jazzier, happier and more fun than past releases. They are lyrical geniuses and continue to have one of the most underrated bodies of work in music today. Like Iron & Wine’s Dog, OTR’s Trumpet Child is a pure delight from beginning to end. By the end of the year, I might declare a winner but if you just want to hear some great, great music pick up both releases.

“Don’t Wait for Tom” is just one example of OTR’s Trumpets playfulness and diverseness.

CD of the Year…So Far :: Iron and Wine :: The Shepherd’s Dog

Iron and Wine’s The Shepherd’s Dog is the best cd beginning to end I’ve listened to this year. Incredible. “Flightless Bird, American Mouth” is just one of many great tracks. Can’t recommend this cd enough.

Roddy Woomble :: "Every Line of a Long Moment"

This is the latest from Roddy Woomble’s solo disc My Secret is My Silence titled “Every Line of a Long Moment”. Roddy is the Scottish frontman for the band Idlewild. I prefer his solo stuff because with fall coming on, I guess MMB is just feeling a bit more subdued and laid back…at least until tomorrow…or the next song I hear.

Pela :: "Cavalry"

The Snake The Cross The Crown :: Cotton Teeth CD

Cotton Teeth is the new cd by grassroots folk-rock band The Snake The Cross The Crown. Imagine if Iron & Wine and Matt Pond PA had an illegitimate bastard band-child. They even have beards. Cotton Teeth is one of the best overall discs I’ve listened to this year. Check out this hodge-podge of a video that sums up what they’re all about.

Pink & Noseworthy :: "Please Forgive Me"

The greatest thing about doing a blog like this is obviously discovering new artists and new songs to love, however every now and then MMB finds a new artist or band that stands out even more than the artists you’ve discovered before. That’s the case with Pink & Noseworthy. I’ve been listening to their MySpace songs for a while and am totally hooked. Here’s the only video I could find for them, but trust me, EVERY song I’ve heard by them is incredible. Especially “Balls” . Enjoy…something tells me Pink & Noseworthy might be featured again…and again…and again.
