Frightened Rabbit - Fuck This Place - A Frightened Rabbit EP (2011)
- This is a tour-only EP for their current run with Death Cab For Cutie.
- This track features Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura.
- This is one of their greatest tracks, in my opinion. Why hide it away on a tour-only release?
- 4 albums out.
- Organ Fight is their best to date.
- Scottish accent stands out, but there seems to be something more than that to his vocals and make them truly unique.
The Mountain Goats – No Children - Tallahassee
- 7th album of 13.
- Their last, 'All Eternals Deck' , was out in early 2011 and one of the best of the year.
- Led by John Darnielle and his unmistakable passionate and powerful vocals.
- Opened for Bright Eyes last Thursday and this was the highlight track.
- About as stripped back as I've played on here.
Ezra Furman & The Harpoons – We Should Fight - Inside the Human Body (2008)

Yellow Ostrich - Left Behind (Beat Happening cover) - The Mistress (2011)

Richard Swift - Bat Coma Motown – The Atlantic Ocean (2009)

- Whether it’s here or in the Gutter Twins, Dulli is capable of creating deep powerful moods and feelings.
