Getting a link from Best Week Ever, as I have discovered (again), is both a great gift and something of a curse. I get a flood of visitors to my relatively minor mp3 blog, and all they see is one mixtape I made up in the course of say, 10 minutes, as compared to some of the posts I spend significantly more time on. Additionally, when I get linked to by anyone big, I inevitably feel this undying urge to post something fast, before the flow of visitors returns to its usual number of 15 or so an hour (knock on wood), usually directed to my blog by google by pure happenstance. As a result, the quality of my posts inevitably suffers from my temporary ego boost.
Back on topic: I stumbled upon Bishop Allen's recent Daytrotter Session today only to be somewhat disappointed by the audio quality of the recordings and found myself browsing some of the sessions I had previously overlooked.
The most interesting of these was Of Montreal's; I usually associate the band with post-modern psychedelia, so to hear a stripped-down version of "Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider" played on an acoustic guitar was somewhat endearing. Check it out - it's referred to as "Eagle-Shaped Mirror."
