1) THE MERMAID’S MIRROR comes out in less than a month! Hence, over the next few weeks, I will be posting links to interviews with some kindly blogger friends. You might want to check them out, not just for the flood of mermaid discussions (yep … water wordplay … I haz it), but because there will be lots of giveaways, too. (I've had way too much

"Cosmic Love" by Florence and the Machine. But if you don't like it, you'll just think I'm weird...

[lkmadigan]

I've heard of them - will check them out!!

Yes. Florence and the Machine. The entire album is brilliant.

[lkmadigan]

I have one of their older albums. Thanks!

My daughter introduced me to Mumford & Sons - we like them very much. I am also a huge fan of The Mountain Goats - the main dude John Darnielle is a brilliant song writer. Anything by them is brilliant but All Hail West Texas and Tallahassee.

Aeroplane over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel is an old album - the band no longer exists but it is also brilliant - the whole thing.

[lkmadigan]

Thanks, I will check these out!!

[jonnyskov]

Mountain Goats is great smart, angry, folk, especially their earlier albums like Sunset Tree.

IMnsHO,Neutral Milk Hotel is one of the greatest alt/indie bands of the mid to late 90's. But definitely not for everyone. Might be a bit too "strange" for your tastes.
