These, Luvs: Maritime, Yo La Tengo, Comet Gain, Pluramon, Friday Bridge

The Word: "weekend," as in "Have a nice one." (That's kind of what the album cover's saying to me.)

Maritime - The more I hear these Milwaukee guys, the more I love 'em. Wish I could do them justice logo-wise, but I feel what I hear. Some people have a way with words and others. . .not have way.

Be Unhappy mp3

For Science Fiction mp3 - I know, I already posted it, but it's one of my faves of the year. And since you noticed, I'll repost the next one, too. Notice anything else? I'll shut up or I won't respect me in the morning either.

Tearing Up the Oxygen mp3

Yo La Tengo - Little Eyes mp3 - Te quiero a tí, Yo.

Comet Gain - Just One More Summer Before I Go mp3 - Dedicated to our friends down Oz way. It won't be long, yeah.

Pluramon - Drowning in You mp3 - Thanks, 'fork.

Friday Bridge - Love and Nostalgia mp3 - Kinda dancy, but we like.

Maritime, The Sounds, Ryan Ferguson, Maps, Frank Allison

Oh, wow, I previously paired Maritime and The Sounds. Amazing(ly jejune patter)! Is it enough that I mainly want to post music? This I may never know. In the meantime. . .

Maritime - For Science Fiction mp3 - Thanks to Pitchfork.

The Sounds - Painted By Numbers mp3

Ryan Ferguson - Kill My Confidence mp3 - Thanks to 3hive, which has a bunch more by RF.

Maps - Elouise mp3 - Thanks to Fingertips.

Frank Allison - Athletic Dan mp3 - Thanks to Toolshed, which has four more FA's.

Monday Mix: The Sounds, Ladytron, Emma Burgess, Maritime, Palomar

Let us kickstart the travailing part of the week with a mix of past and present. (Right, technically it's all past, good point, you.) I've been seeking links to the first couple for quite some time now and am almost incontinent with pleasure. The first three might not be chipper enough a beginning, but then, phoenix-like, we don garb and ascend in triumph, yada-yada, etc.

The Sounds - Song with a Mission mp3 (pic)
Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch mp3
Emma Burgess - Big Break mp3 - Thanks to AOL's Spin.com.
Maritime - Parade of Punk Rock T Shirts mp3
Palomar - You’re Keeping Us Up mp3
