Autumn Honorable Mentions: Part One

I've decided to split this up into 2 parts because I think it will help me get back into the swing of writing more frequently. Before I get to exciting past stories, I do want to catch you up on the music.

This disc's theme is HUMAN. This is music using (mainly) real people playing real instruments.

1. Arcade Fire - Ready To Start
2. Opus Orange - Almost There (Feat. Lauren Hillman)
3. The Lucksmiths - Get-To-Bed Birds
4. Hey Sholay - In Bed With Old Nick (Kids in Bearsuits on Drugs)
5. Fox in the Henhouse - Fears
6. Brandon Flowers - Jilted Lovers & Broken Hearts
7. The Smashing Pumpkins - Freak
8. Antonio Paul - City Dreams
9. Telekinesis - Dirty Thing
10. Les Savy Fav - Let's Get Out of Here
11. Land of Talk - Quarry Hymns
12. Ben Folds & Nick Hornby - Claire's Ninth
13. Cee-Lo Green - What Part of Forever
14. Joshua Radin - The Rock And The Tide
15. Ray Lamontagne And The Pariah Dogs - Beg Steal Or Borrow
16. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & The Cairo Gang - The Sounds Are Always Begging
17. Jeremy Messersmith - Violet
18. Camera Obscura - The Sweetest Thing (Richard Hawley remix)
19. Cocoon - Owls
20. Mutual Benefit - Desert Island Feeling
21. Amanda Palmer - High And Dry

Zach's Notes
1. They've been hitting me hard lately. Very talented folks!
4. Yeah, I don't know why people name things so weirdly sometimes.
6. The Killers frontman scores another pretty good number.
7. They're Back!
10. Just a sexy song
12. He took some of Nick Hornby's poetry and set it to music for his new album. It makes for some sometimes disjointed lyrics/unusual phrasing. This is the best song I've heard yet.
13. The B-Side to the essential "Fuck You"
14. This guy just knows how to write calm, subtle acoustic pop stuff
15. A nice sort of throwback song
18. I am absolutely in love with this girl's voice
21. Pretty sure she's rocking the mandolin. And it is sweet!
