Man, there are some days that I really miss making music (how's that for alliteration). It's always been a communal thing for me and rarely do I make anything I find worthwhile on my own. That said, I've become more and more inspired by my artist friends. If you haven't heard the new Berry you need to. The song "Sing Out" is worth it alone but the whole new ep "floundering" is excellent. Nick and I saw them in Philly back in february and man were they tight so do yourself a favor and give them a listen.
They're based in Chicago now which is the same place as Enoch and Jadiid (Peter Matt Boll). Enoch sounds like...well I don't know what he doesn't sound like. It's passionate and beautiful and quite possibly the most honest thing I've heard in a long time. Jadiid reminds me of Matt Pond PA and has one of those unforgettable Aaron Appleton basslines that make me miss that guy a lot.
Hopefully, a great and mighty wind of inspiration will sweep over me and I'll feel the need to write something. until then, you know I'll be listening to stuff non-stop.
Other Music of Note:
Kevin Drew: basically, broken social scene without women (he's the leader or something)
Midlake: if you are not yet listening to them you are not worth knowing. The best album i bought last year (better than brother sister maybe...)
The Mercury Program: sound a lot like the album leaf but more guitar driven i guess.
Dave Bazan: I think he's the best songwriter I've ever heard. I think he could write anything.
