Amidst all the Postal Service Reunion hurrah, I kinda forgot to post about them.

Ok, here goes…

In brief, Postal Service is a pretty kick ass musical collaboration consisting of Deathcab for Cuties front man Benjamin Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel, and Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley. Postal Service put out one album in ‘03 titled Give Up, and a few scattered covers, and singles.

Skip to present day….

Although there has been a ton of speculation, no NEW album has been announced(to my knowledge), howwwwever The Postal Service HAS released a tenth anniversary edition of Give Up featuring TWO new singles(recorded back in the Give Up days of yore), annnnd they’re pretty much touring everywhere.

Hopefully all this hootenanny and popularity will inspire TPS to get in the studio.

The Barr Brothers - Beggar In The Morning(Live On Letterman)

I actually prefer the official video for this song, but I’m posting the live one above so that you can see some of the crazy use of instruments,….and feck, do I love harmonica. :)

Oh, and they have a harp in the band. How cool is that?

“She said, hello I’m a monster too, and

what poisons me, is what poisons you…

Into these animals we grew, well

when we were young, our eyes were blue….”

Mp3: The Barr Brothers - Beggar In The Morning

So, so good.

I still can not get enough of this song.

The Shins - September (New Song)

A while back we heard Simple Song from the yet to be released album Port of Morrow (March 20th), and here is the latest.

Love it, and am looking forward to the new album.

Mp3: The Shins - September

Module - I Neva Dared

This has been in my, heavily listened to, rotation for the last week or so.

Electronic and slightly funky, with some cool vocals. I listened to the whole, Remarkable Engines, album and really liked it. A lot. I think if you’re a fan of the Gorillaz you would like this a lot,…and really, if you’re just a fan of good music in general, you will appreciate this.

oh, and the kicker?…..it’s available on Bandcamp to download for whatever price you choose.
