Stream & Download The U & U Show 146 Right Here, Right Now! (MediaFire) Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson – The 100th of March – Summer of Fear (2009) - 2nd album - TV on the Radio’s Kyp Malone and Grizzly Bear’s Christopher Bear continue to lend a hand to his work - His self-titled debut is well worth your time and reason enough to give this album a listen as well. MySpace : Buy on Amazon : Stream on HypeMachine : Download on RCRDLBL Langhorne Slim – For A Little While – Be Set Free (2009) - 3rd album… out September 29th - His self-titled second blew me away. - the best folk singer/songwriter out there for my money. Myspace : Buy on Amazon : Stream on HypeMachine Lucero –Goodbye Again - 1372 Overton Park (2009) - New Lucero! - Ben Nichol's led band's first album on a major label - The level of polish has jumped significantly and it doesn't seem to fit with them - They have always seemed like the quintessential bar band, they hoarser and rougher their sound the better. - With that said, the polish can't disrupt the band's ability to write quality music. Official Site : Myspace : Buy on Amazon : Stream on HypeMachine Mountain Goats – Philippians 3: 20-21 – The Life Of The World To Come (2009) - 6th album. Out October 6th - NEW MOUNTAIN GOATS! - If that alone is not worthy of a play, I don’t know what is - This seems to be some relative of a concept album based around lessons he’s learned. Each track’s title is a specific bible verse. Official Site : Myspace : Buy on Amazon : Stream on HypeMachine Willem Maker - Hex Blues - New Moon Hand (2009) - 2nd album. Debut out in 2008 - spare deep south blues feel and deep soulful voice - the vocals remind me a lot of Gomez's Ben Ottewell Official Site : Myspace : Buy on Amazon : Stream on HypeMachine Gomez - Where Ya Going? - Split the Difference (2004) - 4th album - They feature 3 vocalists/songwriters. This one has Ben Ottewell up front. He has the biggest most rugged voice of the set. - Their latest work has been very mainstream and nonphenomenal.
