Your Surrounds Just Bring You Down

I must be off to class soon, but I wanted to wanted to post this Friday video before I took off for Graphic Design III. "Goes So Slow" is one of the earliest Even As We Speak songs written by Matt Love. The original recording is dark-sounding and quite electronic, but this solo acoustic version played and sung by Mary Wyer is just completely beautiful.

Also, be sure to head over to the Matinee Recordings MySpace and listen to three completely brilliant new tracks from Strawberry Whiplash, The Electric Pop Group, and Northern Portrait. I'm particularly excited for the new Electric Pop Group record, but that Strawberry Whiplash song is really getting to me, too.

Stumble It!

Even As We Speak: Peel Session

I couldn't find a photo of the band that was big enough, so I made this... I guess it works.

Aside from maybe two or three other records, Even As We Speak's Feral Pop Frenzy is one of my all -time favorite Sarah releases. It's basically flawless and so is the Peel Session they did on January 9, 1992. They played three tracks from Feral Pop Frenzy and one non-album track, "Stay With Me." The quality on this is fantastic and as far as I know this is the only recorded version of "Stay With Me." I hope you like it as much as I do!
