Ed decides.



One of the best concerts I saw in 2006 was Grizzly Bear in Lido, Berlin. It was my first concert in the city in months, and though it was beset by technical difficulties, I couldn't have picked a better one. As well as that, Yellow House slowly became one of my most played albums, and I've already pointed out many times how great 'Lullabye' is.
So that's why I was very happy when Ed Droste agreed to review some songs for me. I did my best to pick a few songs I liked that he hadn't heard before - which mainly meant Irish music. He decided to do his review in pictures, some of cats, and it worked out quite nicely, I think. He even gave his own pick, a beautiful song by Sandro Perri, which I like so much I'm already planning to write about it again. Enjoy.

{By the way, I've added the file names for when it was necessary - just hover over the images.}

5. Simple Kid - Kids Don't Care

6. Sandro Perri - Dreaming (Ed's pick)







Now I can understand someone not really liking Simple Kid, but that Cathy Davey song is almost perfect. I am shocked. But giving me that Sandro Perri song more than makes up for it.
So thanks to Ed - everyone go and buy Yellow House!

if waves to the shore is a joyous dance does that make leaving town the post-coital cigarette?
