Now the sinners have all gone home


I almost got my shit together around Thanksgiving to write a nice post about American empire, historical violence, and William S. Burroughs - in an effort to at least maintain some respectability as a blogger - but last semester was truly hellish and it never happened. Well, the upcoming semester looks to be even worse, but at least we don't start until the 19th. So, even though it will be depressingly late, a best of 2009 is in the works. Stay tuned.

But first, to jolt the blog back to life, here are a few tracks from the very recently discovered, one-man-plus-helpers band Digital Leather. Created by Shawn Foree, the 2009 album Warm Brother is too new to my ears to make my forthcoming list, but it definitely deserves recognition. The sound is hard to pigeonhole and definitely not for everyone - but think Silver Jews + Pink Mountaintops (who WILL be making my year-end list) + drugs + a heavy dose of synths. Enjoy!
