Back to Mono (1958-1969) - Phil Spector
Phil Spector - a total psycho and a complete musical genius. 'he hit me (and it felt like a kiss)' is proof of both.

some things i've been listening to...

Noah and the Whale - The First Days of Spring
it took a while to get into this. it came out last year and is a complete 180 from their last album. both are about his relationship with his Laura Marling; the last one an album of love, this one an album of heartbreak. it wasn't until i listened to 'Blue Skies' and 'Slow Glass' that i realized how good this album was. Slow Glass has a couple lines that i particularly like.

Breathe Owl Breathe - Canadian Shield
i got their last album a long time ago and really dug it then just kind of forgot about it for a while. I was reminded of them a couple weeks ago and grabbed this. haven't stopped listening to it since.
