Okaaaay. I just posted a sounds-like on these guys ~ Fanfarlo. If you roll back to the May 15th post they did their darndest Beirut impression. With I'm A Pilot, they pull an O'Canada ~ drawing out the strings and frontman Simon Balthazar's vocals in Arcade Fire flair. Uhm, well done?

Bill Callahan out from the Smog
Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle is the second solo album by Bill Callahan under his own name, released on April 14, 2009 on Drag City Records. Here's a song from that album performed last month in Columbus, Ohio. What a treat.
Watch this Bill Callahan video from 2007 via Black Cab Sessions driving through the streets of LondonTown. Under the moniker, Smog, that song ~ Rivergaurd ~ was released on Callahan's seventh album Knock Knock in 1999. It's a beaut ~ and was his fourth and final collaboration with Jim O'rouke as producer.

Cat Power covered Bathysphere on her 1996 album What Would the Community Think. She would go on to cover another Smog song; Red Apples, on her Covers Record, released in 2000.Watch this Bill Callahan video from 2007 via Black Cab Sessions driving through the streets of LondonTown.

Kuala Lumpur of the day
This is Starry Eyes from the B-Side of All My Friends, released in 2007. It was part of a medley-mash with Freak Out, running something over 12 minutes.
It's not very fair to compare James Murphy to this.
Wussy.
This is Wussy. They're from the 'Nasty... and have their roots firmly planted in some mid-west indie rock. This video isn't the best, but dig around and listen for Muscle Cars...
I'm hearing a Karen-Oesqueness that needs a lozenge with underlying Built to Spill. Fronted by Doug Martsch, original member of Treepeople, from Idaho, 1988:
Again, not the best video out there, what's up with that side angle, dude? ~ maybe just watch the first minute or so to get the connection... And here we have perhaps the foundation for both of the aforementioned: The Flaming Lips, formed in Norman, Oklahoma 1983.

My Shit is Perfect! of the day
Mother-Fucking BobLog III. His shit is perfect. Last night at Union Hall in BK, NY he did this with his guitar ~
And it was fantastic. It may have been one long song broken up over the 75 minute set, but it was one hell of a song. It was a wee difficult to desipher the lyrics through the fighter-pilot-helmet and the telephone-receiver-microphone. I made a few up along the way. And I think he would appreciate that. One song was titled Bah DaDa Da Bah NaDa Nah DaDa BahBah BahDaDaDa DaDa DA BahBah NaDaDaa Da ~ a title he repeated twice, for accuracy points. And he wasn't kidding. The song was about nothing at all ~ which he was very proud of.
Bob Log III also likes to share his knees with the ladies; preferably after dipping some of their tit into some scotch. [see the video section of his website: provided above] But alas, there was no tit-dipping last night. Sorry Bob Log III.18 May 2009
