Thanks, ed002d

Four months ago, Eric introduced Marnie & me to "Phantom Limb," the new song from The Shins. We liked it and even put it on our Discology CD.

Today, I heard "Phantom Limb" on the radio (94.7 FM) for the first time. We're no longer cutting edge with that song, I suppose.

However, thanks to Eric's trip to the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, we're back to being cutting edge — our iPods are hopping with a brand new 15-song SXSW playlist. My favorite so far is "If That's The Case Then I Don't Know" by The Electric Soft Parade.

If you're looking for more recommendations from Eric, today's bit on Amy Winehouse is worth taking to heart. Her substance abuse problems are way cooler than Britney's. As for stuff coming out today, Modest Mouse: Si! LCD Soundsystem: not so Si!

Look for an interview with the Electric Soft Parade later this week on my blog.

There will be a podcast about LCD Soundsystem's "Sound of Silver" this week, too. Sorry, yerfatma, but it's my favorite album so far this year. (Though I dig the Modest Mouse a lot, too -- a podcast on them is coming next week.)
