Kaki King has been receiving some serious promotion lately. She was in both EQ magazine and TapeOp. I have seen her on vaious other music blogs. And after listening to her, I can understand why. She has a beautiful and unique technique.

Low – “Breaker”

Posted on April 4, 2008 by derek

And now for something mildly different…

I found this band on download dot com. There are so many things I like about this song. The handclaps. The organ coming out of the right channel. Percussive stuff on the left. That funky guitar toward the end.
