Trashcan Sinatras etc.
I picked up their new album, "Weightlifting", on Jackson Monk's glowing recommendation and have been enjoying it enormously. They remind me a bit of Pernice Brothers - wistful, jangly guitars and all. Good stuff, thanks Jackson. Definitely not something I would have found without this board.
A few other listening pleasures, stolen from my sister's collection during her recent visit:
Elliott Smith's "From a Basement on a Hill"
Peter Case's "Who's Gonna Walk Your Crooked Mile?"

The title track to this record makes me cry (though that's not so hard to do right now). One of those songs whose words sound comforting but whose musical effect is just to make you feel perfectly justified in your sadness....
I haven't had decent time to spend with this record but I already love it from a few listens. The DVD is a nice strightforward intro to the band, just seeing them play at KCRW's studios.
