Some Guillemots You Haven't Heard


So a month or two ago I wrote a quick piece about Guillemots. We didn't get any comments on it, but I've received a few emails asking to re-up those tracks. Actually, I've been getting requests for more Guillemots rarities as well.

Well, you are in luck; I have for you those original two tracks and a few others...

First, here's the version of "Annie, Lets Not Wait" that released as a single, and the two b-sides that came along with it:

Guillemots- Annie, Lets Not Wait (Sngle Version)

Guillemots- Photograph (Demo)

Guillemots- Take Me Out (Live)

So what next...

Well, I have the two b-sides from the "Trains to Brazil" single from 2006...

Guillemots- White Rag

Guillemots- Blue Eyes

Is that enough? Do you want more? Ungrateful bastards...

Jokes.

But seriously, if you want some more rare Guillemots tracks, drop a comment, let me know; I have plenty, and you know me, I like sharing.

All I ask is that you tell your friends about Born by the River. And your cousins. And brothers and sisters. Or just random people on the street. Hell, buy a Born by the River t-shirt. They don't exist yet, but I know Trost is dying for an excuse to make some. Give him a reason; request one.

Enjoy.

NEW VOXTROT LP (Pt. 2)

Since last night's Voxtrot leak, we honestly haven't listened to, or even cared about, anything else.

Yesterday we mentioned the b-sides, covers, and just general rarities that Voxtrot has floating around.

Today we bring them to you.

You've probably heard tracks like "Warmest Part of the Winter," from that Little Darla compilation, but we have some equally fantastic stuff hidden away that you might not have heard.

After much deliberation, we were able to select six to bring to you...

Voxtrot- I Walk Away

Voxtrot- Razorsharp

Voxtrot- This Is Not My Bloody War

Voxtrot- This Place Has Got No Soul, Kid

Voxtrot- Silence Is A Burden

Voxtrot- Dirty Version

Enjoy.

More Rare Guillemots (I was going to do it no matter what)


So a few days ago I told you I'd post up some more Guillemots b-sides and rarities if you asked for them. Well, you did ask for them, but honestly, I probably would have posted some more anyways.

I'll start with a couple b-sides....

Last year Guillemots released "Made-Up Love Song #43" as the second single from their fantastic album Through the Windowpane. The CD version of the single came with two b-sides, a demo of a song called "Woody Brown River," and "The Dormouse & The Meerkat."

Guillemots- Woody Brown River (Demo)
Guillemots- The Dormouse & The Meerkat

I seriously have so many rare Guillemots tracks that I don't know where to go next. I guess I'll go with the two tracks that came exculsively on the Japanese Edition of From the Cliffs.

Guillemots- Moonlight
Guillemots- Pa Moila

The third official Guillemots release was a four track EP called Of the Night that was available for download on the band's website. I've heard that it released on CD and Vinyl later, but I have never seen either.

Guillemots- She's Evil
Guillemots- The Rising Tide
Guillemots- Bad Boyfriend
Guillemots- By the Water

I'll round out this post at an even 10 tracks with a couple live recordings you probably haven't heard. These two tracks are sound desk recordings from last year's november 25th London Calling show.

Guillemots- 21st May
Guillemots- Words

Ok, that's enough for today. I have a couple more, but these are my favorites. Let me know what you think.

Enjoy.

New Ted Leo Bonus Tracks - Mo' Living

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists’ newest album, and first in three years, Living With The Living, is set to release March 20th. It's the band's first album on their new label, Touch and Go, as Lookout! Records went under in '06.

The album ships out this coming week, and fans who were nice enough to pre-order a copy will be rewarded; Mo' Living, a 5 track bonus EP of all new material, will also arrive at their doorstep. Of course we got our hands on the EP, and, as always, we're more than happy to share it with you…



You want to hear an interesting cover? How about Leo’s take on Chumbawumba’s “Rappaport's Testament: I Never Gave Up.”

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Rappaport's Testament: I Never Gave Up

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Old Souls Know

And my favorite from Living with the Living...

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Bottle Of Buckie

Enjoy.

Born By The River Compilation: Volume I
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. The Voxtrot album provided a decent time for a break.

We're back, though, and we come bearing gifts. Actually, just one gift, but it's a good one.



Trost and I have decided to put together a compilation; our favorite tracks from the first quarter of 2007. The idea is kind of that this will become a regular thing, where we put out a compilation every quarter.

You have two ways to get it; you can either follow the first link to the zip file, or you can get the tracks individually. I like to promote free will, so you go ahead and get the compilation whichever way makes you more comfortable.

Born by the River: Volume I

1. Great Lake Swimmers- Your Rocky Spine
2. Elvis Perkins- While You Were Sleeping
3. Wilco- Impossible Germany
4. Voxtrot- Stephen
5. Son Volt- Methamphetamine
6. Kings of Leon- Black Thumbnail
7. Feist- My Moon My Man
8. Josh Ritter- Daddy's Little Pumpkin
9. Tokyo Police Club- A Lesson In Crime
10. Cloud Cult- Your 8th Birthday
11. Andrew Bird- Heretics
12. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah- Yankee Go Home
13. The Ponys- Harakiri
14. Willy Mason- When The River Moves On
15. Lou Barlow- Yawning Blue Messiah
16. Arcade Fire- Keep The Car Running

Enjoy.
