The iPod, this morning, had contrary ideas about where we were in August, since it kicked off with August Ending, a tight piece of jazz trio work. After that the iPod bounced around musical styles like a spinning radio knob, ranging from Don McLean to Nada Surf. I confess I skipped over most of Spits. It was a little too thumpy for a morning drive through quiet residential streets, though it's a great album (Tobacco Road by Common Market).
Camera Obscura (http://www.camera-obscura.net/), if you are not familiar, is another one of those gems worth looking up. A Glasgow group that has a unique high energy sound. Always a good thing when one of their tunes pops up on the morning list.
- Brad Mehldau Trio: August Ending
- Camera Obscura: If Looks Could Kill
- Common Market: Spits
- Don McLean: And I Love You So
- Nada Surf: Comes a Time
