Haven't added artists in a long time to SM. I'm slacking. Yesterday, I added somebody, but I'll be damned if I can remember who, right now. If I don't stay on top of this in the journal, I don't stand a chance.
Today, I added The Fresh & Onlys. Heard their new album, Grey-Eyed Girls -- a Fall 2009 release -- on Rhapsody. They're fuzzy, grimy, lo-fi, garagey, psych-poppy, rock 'n' roll.

Oh, sumptin' shook loose in my head. The artist I added yesterday is Macklemore. Seattle Hip-Hop. Heard him via a mix of newstuff posted by a CIF over at imeem. He heard Macklemore on a KEXP podcast. My CIF wrote that the song he posted, "The Town," "is about [Macklemore's] music scene."
"I learned from my teachers
But became through my music.
Take that away, that's a vital.
Fourteen fathoms deep. Do the math. Tribal."
It's a good listen.
