Spottiswoode & McMahon - "Ukranian Girl"
A song that co-opts some of "Brazil", is structured like Brazil, but has nothing to with Brazil. More to do with Beck, with a waltzing Quentin Crisp, with schoolyard jumprope songs at a school for spies. [Buy]
Casey Dienel - "Better In Manhattan"
This is such a lovely admission. It's a letter that realises halfway through what it's about. "Right that's why we're talking, that's why we always talk. Because I love you, I almost forgot. But all this other stuff is just saying I love you in a different way." And then signed by her and her dog (paw print). [Buy / Also, a pavement cover which is blogged here]

Posted by: tim+ at June 20, 2006 11:27 AMi already bought wind-up canary after falling desperately in love with "the la la song", thanks to this site. is this song off a new album, or an older one? unreleased? i'm intrigued.
Posted by: emily at June 20, 2006 7:31 PMor maybe if i read things, i would answer my own questions.
Posted by: emily at June 20, 2006 7:36 PMi just saw casey play in boston sunday night, and she opened with this song. i think it's new, because she said after she finished that she's thinking of changing it around a bit.
Posted by: liz at June 20, 2006 7:38 PMcasey is wonderful. we played with her in boston and she's the biggest sweetheart. I look forward to seeing her in brooklyn later this month.
