100-Word Review of Built to Spill’s “There Is No Enemy”

This is their best album. Yes, it’s even better than “Ancient Melodies of the Future” which was my previous favorite. The album captures a dreamy, meditative feel but does so without a trace of affectation. Best Song: Things Fall Apart. This is one of the few pieces of art that have riffed on Yeats’

Free Song Of The Day: Patrick Watson & The Wooden Arms | "Tracy's Waters"

The fine folks at Shore Fire Media sent me an MP3 to review. It's "Tracy's Waters" by Patrick Watson & the Wooden Legs. It's a nifty song--it reminds me of something like a contemporary version of Peter Gabriel. (That's a compliment, I love Peter Gabriel.)There's a lot of found sound here (I think I
