It’s raining where I am today. And I’m glad that I was up late last night to catch AA Bondy preforming the title track to his album American Hearts (iTunes), which is being reissued on Fat Possum Records on April 15, as he closed the show for Conan. The album is filled with rainy day folk anthems.
mp3 : AA Bondy - American Hearts
mp3 : AA Bondy - Killed Myself When I Was Young
mp3 : AA Bondy - Rapture (Sweet Rapture)
mp3 : AA Bondy - Hang Down Your Head (Tom Waits Cover)
For those of you who live out on the East Coast and are bored tonight or tomorrow evening you should make a solid effort to see AA Bondy play live. He’s playing with The Weakerthans right now and that would make for an amazing night of music. Tonight he’s at Pearl St. Club Room in Northampton, Massachusetts, and tomorrow he’s playing at the Town Ballroom in Buffalo, New York.

Really like this guy’s sound. Good stuff.
More than that, I enjoy all the posts you get on your BOTR posts. Such As:
“sexy. thnx that cut copy remix was just what i needed”
and
“thank you thank you…. vampire weekend remix… quintessencial…”
Seriously, it’s like you’re posting aural crack or something. BOTR seems to cater to the music addicts of the world… a virtual back alley of deceit and self-loathing, as listeners go from blog to blog looking for their next fix.
FYI, that’s not “Killed Myself When I Was Young” - it’s “How Will You Meet Your End”.
Fantastic record, though.
