I’d never heard this version until Carles posted it in his poetic tribute to lyrics of 2009.  Ripped from BBC Radio 1′s Live Lounge, the quality isn’t really that great, but I’m more a fan of this than the original.  Radio killed that one for me.

Pitchfork has a new song by The Kissaway Trail called ‘SDP‘.  Good timing on that, I was recently wondering where that band had disappeared to.  New record in the new year produced by The National/Interpol producer Peter Katis and on the Bella Union label.

Speaking of Nordic bands, heard M.A.G.I.C by The Sound Of Arrows in a Mitsubishi ad.  Anyone else catch that?
