Today I’m listening to some old stuff that’s new again alongside some new stuff that sounds a bit like old stuff. Mexican Summer’s release of a Bobb Trimble 7-inch reminded me of the Secretly Canadian Trimble releases that came out awhile back. I was shocked to look back and discover that I never posted a damn word about these when they came out, because I really did enjoy them. And going back and listening again now, I can say that I still do.

MP3: Bobb Trimble – “Premonitions – The Fantasy”
MP3: Bobb Trimble – “One Mile From Heaven” (Short Version)

But I’m also listening to some brand new music that sounds very old. Simon Joyner has been kicking around the indie music world since the early ’90s– you may know him as a member of the Jagjaguwar stable; they released 4 of his records between 2004-06. His newest record (his tweflth), titled Out Into The Snow, is due out on 9/15 from Team Love. Here’s a track:

MP3: Simon Joyner – “Roll On”

And here’s one of my old favorites from 2006’s Beautiful Losers collection:

MP3: Simon Joyner – “One for the Catholic Girls”

This is what I’m listening to today.
