I've been listening to Shallow Graves for a while now, but this version of this song is one of those few-and-far-betweens that makes your heart feel like it swallowed itself. Thanks for the wonderful post. God this is beautiful.

Did you check out the vids of Kristian playing on the Swedish countryside? I've been watching them on repeat all week... so gorgeous http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=185CCC55418F5988 Your mention of "Avalanche" got me thinking about how much I adore "Love is Hell". Such a fantastically sad record. Thanks for all your kind words, Heather! Did you check out the vids of Kristian playing on the Swedish countryside?

I missed his opening set last June - didn't really want to see John Vanderslice...shoulda gone. If you're into Swedish/Scandinavian stuff, check out anything by Ane Brun - her work with Koop is nothing short of spectacular! Sort of a bleak video story tho... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCFU5l6-j2k She also did a great duet & video with Ron Sexsmith: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTSvZ_VlF5s Along the lines of fun videos, the sweetest & most charming I'd seen (until Lisa Hannigan's "Lille" and "I Don't Know" vids) came from Lesli for his song "Summer Wind" a few years back - certainly worth repeating. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrG7UveagSQ I just found out about Signe Tollefsen last nite - I may be late to the party, but will make up for it by digging in. Her website seems a bit finicky with Firefox + NoScript, but you can find a few things out there on YT - I was particularly impressed with her biting/personal lyrics and tremendously pure & powerful voice. Check out "History Class" she kind of notches it up at the end...also the version of "You, Me & The Brewers" at her website or MySpace really grabbed my attention - a great collection of instruments in the vein of Lisa Hannigan or The Low Anthem. http://www.signetollefsen.com/menu.htm http://www.myspace.com/signetollefsen I stumbled across TTMOE a year or two back and have continued to be amazed by his vocals – the gang at Daytrotter really captured a fantastic set as they usually do!

Literally only 20 people there. I feel like that experience will only gain importance as time goes on. Saw him on the CU campus. Literally only 20 people there.

What a great version of that song. Shallow Grave was one of my favorite albums of 2008 and it hasn't lost any of its impact. God, those VOCALS. What a great version of that song.
