How have I managed to ignore Belle & Sebastian for so long? I don't know, but after hearing them on The Current I become enamored with them. Here they are playing "I Want the World to Stop."

In the New Pornographers, she's always been overshadowed by Neko Case. However, after a great New Pornographers show on Monday night, I decided to check out some of Kathryn Calder's solo work. Here's one of my favorite songs she's done, "Turn a Light On." It's beautiful.

Though it's been a while since I posted on Tumblr, I've been busy listening to a lot of music. One of the most recent finds came courtesy of the kdhxcompilation of live performances. Here's the band Lucius performing "Turn it Around" live on KDHX in 2013.
