I'm greatly anticipating
The Stills'
Without Feathers album that comes out in May/April. Though The Killers' Brandon Flowers thinks otherwise ("
... bands like The Stills bother me because they're all style and no substance." - link), I think that The Stills is one of the more memorable and solid indie pop bands out today.
Since I've been into the Radio CBC 3 Sessions stuff recently, here's one of The Stills. I got the featured download off of a YSI on some blog. I don't remember from where (I'd actually really like to credit/thank them), but it was no more than a week ago or two ago I (Heart) Music. Anyways, the "Killer Bees" acoustic rendition is superb.
Tracklisting:
01. Lola Stars And Stripes (3:51) - (download)
02. Gender Bomb (4:08) - (download)
03. Animals And Insects (4:03) - (download)
04. Killer Bees (acoustic) (4:52) - (download)
05. Ready For It (6:00) - (download)
or download the whole thing here (.rar)

personally, i don't like the band all that much, but uhm, has Brandon looked in the mirror lately? jeez.
Oh. and isn't it kind of lame to host and link to a rar of the entire release? I thought the community was about tipping people off to bands we liked, not giving the entire thing away for free
ahh, i've been in a generous mood lately. when i first started this blog, i hosted a bunch of live/cbc stuff and .rar'd it up (this was before i had an actually hosting site, so i'd use megaupload). i just feel that stuff like this is nice to share for older fans, and it's a good way to introduce it to others.
i'm sure in the next upcoming posts i won't have full albums posted.
I got mine last week from here:

Perhaps that is where you got yours?
And even the most well known blogs post full radio sessions all the time from KEXP & KCRW etc so nothin' wrong with that.
I too am anxiously awaiting the new cd although now that drummer Dave is now coming up front and singing at least half the songs...hmmm...Tim's voice is perfection and Dave's is just average. I will have to keep an open mind I guess.
i did get it off of i(heart)music. thanks for the reminder.
and i do agree with the vocalist statement. i'm already in love with tim's vocals, so i'm a bit optimistic towards dave's.
good call. I love this band. You should have posted "lets roll". One of their best
I love the Stills...they had the best album of 2004, and should've gotten a couple of Grammies for it.
Brandon Flowers is a pussy, and he can fuck right off.
