Thanks for choosing an independent business!! artist title label		Antony and The Johnsons Another World (Secretly Canadian) CD - $9 12in - $12   On Another World, ANTONY lists the things he treasures about the natural world, and then expresses how much he will miss them. Hypnotic and affecting, as well as timely, this EP also includes "Shake That Devil." Part exorcism and part Shangri La, Antony calls out shape-shifting perpetrators, and banishes them one by one. Two other songs, "Crackagen" and "Sing For Me" are pastoral and surreal. Finally the epic "Hope Mountain" closes the EP; an episodic narrative set after a flood; people gather on a mountain to witness the emergence of a holy girl.   Belle and Sebastian BBC Sessions (Matador) 2CD - $18 CD - $16 LP - $23   Fourteen gorgeous tracks recorded for the BBC between 1996 and 2001. At the time, the group rarely performed live, so all these songs are noticeably different from the studio versions. The regular CD includes an additional four unreleased songs from their classic early Jeepster period. The limited, deluxe double CD contains an entire live show broadcast on BBC Evening Session in mid-2001 with another four never before heard songs. Eight-page booklet in the regular CD (six-page booklet in the deluxe version). Gatefold HQ 180 gram vinyl.   Bird, Andrew Noble Beast (Fat Possum) 2CD - $28   PRE-ORDER ONLY.

The Beijing-based duo FM3 is back with an all-new version of their wildly successful 2005 release. Introducing Buddha Machine 2.0:-Nine new loops. Pitch bend. Blurring the line between music box and musical instrument, the Buddha Machine 2.0 is an interactive album that lets users customize the listening experience. Drop the pitch and the music ebbs in a low ambient drone. Boost the speed and suddenly its alive with melody. Add a few more machines, set them at different speeds and you have an evolving audio perfume. Plug it into a mixer, add some beats or vocals or guitar... FM3 won't mind. In fact, they encourage people to use the Buddha Machine as inspiration. Since its release in 2005, the original Buddha Machine has sold more than 50,000 units worldwide and has won praise from artists as diverse as Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Ham Loaf, Terminal C, Marzapan, Sunn O))), Chicken Cake, Blixa Bargeld and legendary vocal chanteuse, Delores Montenegro.Brian Eno was the first customer for the original Buddha Machine and nearly 3 years later told FM3 he still "cherishes" his purchase! Similar in shape and design to the original Buddha Machine, but boasting more robust construction and improved sound quality. Also, makes its own sauce if you add water.   David Bazan Alone At The Microphone (Undertow) DVD - $15   A short film featuring David Bazan playing some of his favorite Pedro the Lion, Headphones, and Bazan solo songs in his home studio mixed with interviews about songwriting, family, playing live, love songs and more.   Department Of Eagles In Ear Park (4AD) CD - $14   Department Of Eagles is Daniel Rossen (Grizzly Bear) and Fred Nicolaus. An intimate and personal collection of songs, much of the material that Daniel brought to In Ear Park draws on memories from his childhood, especially those relating to his father, who passed away in 2007 and to whom the album is dedicated. Many of Fred's contributions relate to similar themes of nostalgia and mortality, giving the album at times an elegiac feel.   Frightened Rabbit Liver! Lung! FR! (Fat Cat) CD - $9   Liver! Lung! FR! is FRIGHTENED RABBIT at their very best--live. The intimate, mostly-acoustic set documented here was recorded in July 2008 in Glasgow and mixed by MICE PARADE'S ADAM PIERCE. Among other surprises, special guests pop up here and there: JAMES GRAHAM from THE TWILIGHT SAD contributes vocals to an incredible version of "Keep Yourself Warm," while Glasgow scene staple ROSS COOK adds rollicking mandolin to "Old Old Fashioned." The stripped-down instrumentation brings singer SCOTT HUTCHINSON's vocal delivery--now wrenching, now soaring--to the fore, showcasing the emotive lyrics and memorable melodies that have earned the band their passionate following.   Kozelek, Mark The Finally LP (Caldo Verde) CD - $14   Over the years Mark Kozelek of Sun Kil Moon and his earlier band, Red House Painters, has gained well deserved praise for his extraordinary songwriting. At the same time he has developed a parallel reputation for his unique covers of other peoples material. Many of these tracks were recorded for tribute albums that are now unavailable. Caldo Verde Records has now collected them in a cohesive, 10-song LP titled The Finally LP. Highlights include a bluegrass version of "Lazy" by Low, "Bedtime Lullaby" from the childrens show Yo Gabba Gabba! and an intimate, acoustic version of Stephen Sondhiem's "Send In the Clowns".   Manchester Orchestra Let My Pride Be What's Left Behind (Canvasback) CDEP+DVD - $11   Fresh EP features two new songs and three live tracks, plus the never before released What's Left Behind documentary film directed by Sam Erickson of 44 Picture.   Megapuss Surfing (Vapor) CD - $14   Megapuss is Devendra Banhart, Greg Rogove (Priestbird), Fabrizio Moretti (The Strokes, Little Joy), Noah Georgeson (member of Banhart's band and producer), and Aziz Ansari (actor/comedian).

"A legitimate band of talented musicians, capable of effortlessly tossing off the finest in California-style tambourine jams" - Fader.   Mirah & Britta Johnson Share This Place (K) DVD - $16   Inspired in part by influential French scientist/poet J.Henri Fabré, MIRAH'S lyrics smartly humanize the trials and pleasures of the insect world, touching on themes of villainy, seduction, self-sacrifice and love. Shining a light on the epic complexity of the insect world, the songs imply an inescapable comparison with our own. Along with a host of other sources Share This Place draws visual inspiration from Karel Capek's surrealist Insect Play where the epic and dramatic lives of insects are given human characteristics to extenuate the similarities between humans and insects in work and desire. The music and corresponding videos explore the tender, dramatic, sordid, tragic and triumphant lives of insects.   Nada Surf Vinyl Box Set 1994-2008 (Barsuk) 6LP - $112   Barsuk spared no expense in assembling this amazing Nada Surf box set.
