Blog of the week

This week's recommendation for a killer website is http://www.reallans.com/mmml.shtml the name of which is Real Lans, I think. Via gigglechick.

Listening to: Milk Cult Project M-13, a compilation of strange mixes, electronica, low-tech arch-pop, and all-around happiness. I can't call it a fave, but it's compelling once a month or so.

My real fave this month: The National Trust, "Dekkagar". Despite occasional technical mishaps (they attempt some vocal harmonies that I think only Crosby, Stills and Nash or the Beach Boys could quite pull off), this album of gorgeous neo-funk is the best thing I've heard all summer. It's sort of like War crossed with Crosby, Stills and Nash, but with modern production values. Just great.
