Running late, so this will (sadly) be a little brief:
Broken Social Scene - "Marketfresh". From BSS's upcoming Bee Sides b-sides record, which arrived in the mail today. This song hardly breaks new territory for the band, but it's got that same cutting vocal texture that touched me so deeply on You Forgot It In People. The simply sung lyrics brush by the folds of ambient hiss, the blooms of guitar and keys, and the drums punch and shuffle in the background, like a boxer practicing moves under a red sunset. Gently beautiful.
Daniel Lemma - "If I Used to Love You". The most instantly memorable song from Lemma's soundtrack to Morning Train, and the one which made some radio headway. Lemma is sort of a more continental Van Morrison, minus the crazy. This song is simple, adoring fun: a smiling, twinkling statement of love, with the blush of soulful organ, electric guitar, horns.
