who were a wee bit hip-hoppity for my liking but gave me the joyous sight of four guys, face backlit only by their macbook screens, bobbing away at the church altar ...!

Aside from the music played at the Sushi Bar where I now work ( yay money! ) I have been digging voraciously into the Time Has Told Me blog which puts rare and out of print folk vinyl up for download. Any steampunkers looking for a little more steam in their punk atmosphere would do well to check it out, plenty of old victorian folk songs about working in factories, etc.
What I've been digging on right now: Barde - Barde Whirling Pope Joan - Spin (this record is great except for the two or three exceptionally cheezy new age synth tracks in the middle of the album) Cabestan - Chants de Marins Traditionnels V/A - Folk Pirate aaaand currently awaiting the arrival of: Coleman County Traditional Society - Music of Coleman County
The Devin Townsend Project - Addicted Greymachine - Disconnected Wildhearts - Best Of Rammstein - Leibe Ist Fur Alle Da (waaaay better than i expected) Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport Converge - Axe Will Fall

Listening to a really nice little indie electro pop album called "Riemerling" by Me Succeeds. Don't know anything about them yet; a friend just sent me this link to download: ME SUCCEEDS The password for the .rar file is: rockschuppen
Kind of sounds like a more playful, lo-fi version of Postal Service, but with English as a second language. I like it muchly right now. Well worth the download. Any one heard of these guys before?
