woke on a whaleheart
more whales here.
Whalebones - Don't You Know?
I discovered this song the other day (via the Fader). The band's got the whole Neil Young veneration thing going on, similar to the crew of Black Mountain. More songs for download on their myspace.
Or, the Whale - Fight Song
I mostly picked this cause it fits with the theme. The arrangement is really nice--I like the steel guitar bits. Also, the singer drawls words ever so slightly, in a way that is quite appealing, I think. www.myspace.com/orthewhale
Joanna Newsom - Colleen
Another whale-ish song. I wrote a little something about Newsom here awhile back, and it applies to this song as well. [more songs]
. . . Which reminds me I still want to post something about her crazy cover of "Man's Road" from The Last Unicorn from forever ago. That'll be for another day. (The song is at the above website, under "downloads", if you want to hear it.)
One more:
Lou Reed - The Last Great American Whale
Labels: joanna newsom, lou reed, or the whale, whalebones

Thanks for the suggestions - I share your taste in music. Have you ever listened to Architecture In Helsinki? I discovered them at woozyfly.com...very fun!
Yes, I've heard some of their stuff. Thanks for dropping by, googoodoll. It's always cool to find someone who shares your tastes.
