Ladies & gents, our first post.
Congratulations to The Decemberists on signing to Capitol Records! Here's a Picaresque-era b-side from that's appeared in a few places. I got it off the Acuarela Songs 3 compilation a few months ago, but apparently, the song is also available (though possibly in a different version) on the vinyl-only Picaresqueties and the UK single for "16 Military Wives," released by Rough Trade. The Acuarela Songs 3 compilation, released in celebration of Acuarela Discos' 10th anniversary, features rare and exclusive tracks from Destroyer, Maquiladora, Piano Magic, The Impossible Shapes, as well as a handful Spanish indie acts I'm afraid I don't know anything about. According to the press for the record, every song included was written especially for this compilation. (No longer carried by Insound, Acuarela Songs 3 is stocked by Tonevendor.)

Also in the press this week, Owen Pallett, the adorable flaxen-haired frontman of Final Fantasy and sometime fiddler for the Arcade Fire was profiled in The New York Times on Sunday, Dec. 11. Here's a great track from his pre-Final Fantasy project, Les Mouches (You remember what mouches are from your high school French class, right? Flies.) This track, "Divorce the Ones You Love," is a hodgepodge of frenetic strings, finger plucked guitar, and plantive nursery-rhyme lyrics from the sole Les Mouches full-length album, You Mean More to Me Than 10,000 Christians. (available from Insound.)

Hey there, puddings. Your link to the Decemberists track goes to your Owen Pallett download. Also, I lived in the Oak Street Building. Look at my cred.
Oooh, thanks for catching that, dude. I fixed it.
Also yes, you have MAD cred. As always.
Woo, cred! Added the blog to the LJ, and made the husband do so, too. Vrrry nice, vrryvrry nice.
