i used to associate boards of canada with unemployment late afternoon naps. as those days found their end, i didn't find myself in the mood for boards of canada anymore. luckily this track came up on shuffle while underground waiting for he subway and now i have a whole new context to enjoy the subtle menace they add the enivironment.

while spent suffer from being a little too much of their time to be given lost, or forgotten, "classic" status, that doesn't mean they didn't write and record two great albums. i just don't listen to them as much as i used to. actually, ever. still...
spent "excuse me while i drink myself to death" (from the album "songs of drinking and rebellion")

-note: spent had 3 singer songwriters in the band. i never like the third guy's voice though, so, not putting any of his songs up.
you may leslie gore from that awful "it's my party, and i'll cry if i want to song". sadly that song turned out to be her legacy rather than this:
leslie gore "i don't want to be a loser"

and even though it soulds like it might have been produced by phil spector, it was actually quincy jones.
as prolific as will oldham was under his various palace monikers, he seems to be even more so as bonnie prince billie. so much so that i wonder how many of his fans are even aware of his earlier stuff. this was always my favorite palace song, and i alway associate it with the summer before my sr. year of college.
palace brothers "(end of) travelling" (originally released on the "mountain" ep)
