A few weeks ago, the NYTimes had a
great article on a band called
The Feelies. I went to their myspace page and the song "Slow Down" evoked images of a young
Tripping Daisy- simple but inevitably charging on and catching your ear... Check them out and read up on their sordid tale!
(
A wager to Bond: $10 says they're on one of the next two Wes Anderson movie soundtracks.)

Our Philosophy:
The music press, both mainstream and independent, focus the bulk of their attention on "new music" -- the latest albums and hot new artists. But what if "new music" meant something else? What if it referred to music that, regardless of when it was originally released -- this week or 50 years ago -- was just now being discovered by an individual, or perhaps by a generation? Any music could be "new." This Web publication charts our travels along the road of discovery as we become aware and gain a greater appreciation of some of the best music ever recorded from genres including rock 'n' roll, jazz, folk, soul, funk and, perhaps most importantly of all, the blues.
