DID DR. PHIL THINK UP THIS TITLE?

THE PERNICE BROTHERS

[Blogger's been a bitch lately, so I can only hope this post goes through...]

If I had heard the Pernice Brothers' Discover a Lovelier You in 2005, it might well have made my Top 10 list. Pansy-ass, self-help-book title aside, the record offers up no end of sunnily autumnal hooks and is a solid listen first track to last. So here's to lovely, if belated, discoveries...

[MP3] "There Goes the Sun"

[MP3] "Amazing Glow"

[MP3] "Snow"

R.I.P. L.P.

PLEASURE CRUISE

JULEE CRUISE

[Blogger ate my longer post on Julee Cruise yesterday, which pisses me off mightily. Here, at least, are the songs I tried to offer...]

[MP3] "Into the Night"

[MP3] "Falling" [Twin Peaks theme]

[MP3] "Summer Kisses, Winter Tears"

[MP3] "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" [w/DJ Silver] [Eurythmics cover]

SILENT TONGUE

Silent Tongue is a relatively new indie collective led by singer/songwriter Matt Durante.

Their latest record, The Formula of Believing, clocks in at just 24 minutes, and its eight songs walk an experimental, pop-rock line that might appeal to fans of Guided by Voices and the now-defunct Grandaddy.

(You can download another Silent Tongue song from their MySpace page [here].)

[MP3] "86 Was a Good Year"

[MP3] "Still Defending"
