From the depths (of my external hard drive) - The Pastels - Nothing to be done

"When I was young
I used to sing
I didn't care for anything
When I was young I used to sing
I didn't care for anything
Simply nothing to be done
Tell me I'm the only one..."  
  

The Pastels - Nothing To Be Done 

From the depths... Smog - Bathysphere

I thought (yes, some thought does go into this feature), what better month than the very month Bill Callahan (AKA Smog AKA (Smog)) welcoming the release of his amazing new album, Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle, to delve back into the files and present you with one of his finest moments. I've been meaning to put together a Smog/Bill Callahan retrospective of sorts for the longest time, though simply don't know where to start. Watch this space I guess.

From the depths (of my external hard drive) - The Delgados - Under Canvas Under Wraps

 

LhnA got back from Barcelona on Monday night, and will be sure to write something about it, maybe post some pictures and some somewhat relevant music (don't worry, I won't inflict Freddie Mercury on you). But for now, part 3 in our ongoing series From the depths (of my external hard drive)!

 

 

The Delgados - Under Canvas Under Wraps

I first heard this song as an impressionable teenager taking my first tentative steps into indie. It was probably on (MTVs) Alternative Nation, and it blew my mind.
