songs for anna

If you just want to be in the know, all you need to do is get the "Dark Was the Night" compilation, a veritable who's who of of-the-moment indie musicians. And the proceeds go to raise awareness and money for fighting HIV/AIDS. AND, it's GREAT music.

After you get that, I'd get Denison Witmer's new "Carry the Weight," and then Daniel Martin Moore's "Stray Age".

Or, just wait for this CD of songs I've been listening to lately:

Beautiful Boys and Girls - Denison Witmer, Carry the Weight
Tightrope - Yeasayer, DWTN
American Legion - The Welcome Wagon, Welcome to the Welcome Wagon
I'll Be Glad - Shannon Stevens, Shannon Stevens

Another Saturday - Stuart Murdoch, DWTN
The Hour of Sleep - Daniel Martin Moore, Stray Age

He Never Said a Mumblin' Word - The Welcome Wagon, WTTWW
So Far Around the Bend - The National, DWTN

I know this is for your other anna but this ann is appreciative. I haven't had time to search out new tunes, and rosie, ingrid, sufjan, matt pond and others are getting tire of being played all day. I am definitely checking out your ideas!
