Mind of Tim

As part of my plan to make regular column posts, I’ve decided to start New Music Sunday’s (NMS). I tend to spend most sunday’s just surfing the net and discovering new music, so I’m going to create a playlist and put it here for everyone’s enjoyment!

To bring you NMS, I’m using a cool new website, Imeem. That allows me to build playlists of streaming music, so all the links are going to this website (don’t worry… its not evil… its like YouTube, except they have music too).

This week’s main focus is on The Decemberists, mainly because I’ve been listening to a lot of them over the past week so I’ve bookended this week’s playlist with two Decemberist tracks. These aren’t necessarily new however it’s a couple of my favorite tracks from them. And I’ve thrown in a track by Colin Meloy (The Decemberists’ lead singer) off his acoustic EP “Colin Meloy Sings Morissey”.

Oh and let me know in the comments if there’s anything I should check out and include in next week’s edition.
