Five Things

(Sufjan Stevens may be singing carols in your neck of the woods)

Thanksgiving was excellent.  But now it is officially time for some Christmas music.  Too bad Sufjan Stevens' Friendship Sleigh Ride is not coming through my town because the tour looks totally awesome.  Oh, well.  Burl Ives will have to do.

• Check out the videos for two excellent tracks from The Sea and Cake's Runner:  "Harps" and "On and On."
• Chromatics have released a new song and video called "Cherry."  It would sound right at home on this year's Kill for Love.
• William Basinski just reissued the experimental music classic, The Disintegration Loops.  For an excellent primer, check out this article.
• This song streamed through Pandora while I was working out the other day.  Thanks, The Mary Onettes.
• Making out, we got the radio on.  Amen, Brandon Flowers.  Amen.
