Better late than never...sorry for the slow posting so far this year.  A new job will do that to you -not sure what Tony's excuse is.  Some great albums last year...here's to even more in 2011.  Thanks for listening!

I Saw You Blink by STORNOWAY [2010]

I Saw You Blink
by Stornoway [official - facebook - iTunes]

Eric posted a fantastic song by this Oxford, UK band back in July, and I'm here to spread some more Stornoway love. They'll be playing live at the Troubadour on December 13, so get your tickets here. I mean, we've posted two songs by them on this blog. That HAS to mean they're good, right?

Zorbing by Stornoway [2010]

Zorbing
by Stornoway  [official  -  Last.FM  -  iTunes]

Damn, the memory is going.  I almost forgot to post this track after hearing it on Soma.FM (I think) awhile back.  Thanks for reminding me Jen (via 4AD via Blonde Redhead via ME).  Catchy song from an Oxford band that boasts atleast one bandmate who has a PhD and was once an editorial assistant for a Renal Monthly and Neuropathology journal.  So there's a chance I too could be in a band!  Album out in the US on Aug. 14th.  And I've always wanted to go Zorbing...someday...someday.
