Tindersticks released this week The Hungry Saw. I gave it few listen, and so far it is very good (those Tindersticks album always grow on you). So, to celebrate this exceptional event, I decided to post a full live show from their last tour in 2003 (which by miracle contain my 3 favorite tindersticks song !). People have been asking me for full shows for a long time, so here is finally one. Hope you enjoy. And long live The Tindersticks !

The Go-Betweens - Clouds (Live MP3)
Robert Forster is releasing throughout the world his new album, The Evangelist. I was looking for it over the week end at my record store and since I could not find it, decided to download it yesterday on iTunes. It just took two listens to come to the evidence this album is a MASTERPIECE. There could not be a better tribute to Grant McLennan than this beautiful record, filled with timeless songs, melodies and the amazing singing of Robert. I simply do not recall having been so moved by a record at first listen. Here are some Go Betweens tunes sung by Robert (Baby Stones is on Robert Forster first album, but the live here is by The Go Betweens)Other MP3s by The Go Betweens, sung by Robert Forster

Tindersticks - This Heart's of Mine (Live MP3)
For me, the most anticipated release of 2008 is The Hungry Saw by The Tindersticks. Like for Boxer release last year, expect frequent posts (and maybe something special) in the next weeks. To start, here's a song from Simple Pleasure, a record I love but which seems to be very underrated. I really encourage those who have that record to give it a new listen.

The National - Mansion on The Hill (B. Springsteen Cover) (Live MP3)
The National covering Bruce Springsteen during a tribute show in NY in 2006. On top, few other covers from The Boss (looks like The Cardigans one has been the song most downloaded on the blog !)

Other Great B. Springsteen Covers:
Heather Nova - Like a Hurricane (N. Young Cover) (Live MP3)
I thought about posting some great covers this week-end. First, Heather Nova covering Neil Young. A haunting performance of Like a Hurricane. The song appeared as a B-Side to the Truth and Bone single, along with her cover of I'm on Fire from Bruce Springsteen, which I already posted and can still be downloaded here.

Band of Horses - Funeral (Live MP3)
I was planning to see Band Of Horses live this week end, but the show was sold out - which is something rare in Switzerland ... - and it was the first time I did not take my tickets in advance......So I'll continue listen to my live mp3's for a while :).

Nick Cave - The Mercy Seat (Live MP3)
Nick Cave released a new LP, Dig Lazarus Dig few weeks ago. And while I have not heard it, I thought it'd be a good opportunity to finally post something. And while I prefer the softer songs, The Mercy Seat is has always been the concert highlight during the few times I saw him.
Buy: The Boatman's Call
dEUS - Magdalena (Live MP3)
Belgium' best rock band, dEUS will return in April with a new album, the Vantage Point, which will be definitely worth checking, as dEUS easily rivals with the best bands in the UK and US. Here's Magdalena fom the Ideal Crash, my favorite LP.

Sigur Ros - Hoppípolla (Live MP3)
One band that never made up to now the blog for reasons unknown is Sigur Ros. I started listening to Takk again, which is a record I love (and also most accessible). Also worth checking is the double album Hvarf/Heim , released end of last year.

Buy: Takk
The Magnetic Fields - I Don't Believe You (Live MP3)
It is only possibble to follow-up a post by Jens Lekman with a post by The Magnetic Fields. They have just released a new album, Distorsion. But recently, I have listened more to 69 Love Songs (probably one of the Top 10 record of the decade) and I, which features I Don't Believe You.
