i dont talk nearly enough about collar city records, even though i should cause they have a great lineup. they put out my favorite record of 06, the kamikaze heart’s oneida road – which since its release i would rank in my top 20 of all time. of course, like the everybodyfields are now on indefinite hiatus. fuckin bummer on both accounts.

martha kronholm’s i lived in brooklyn too: summer 2007 in her words…

I wrote the songs for this little collection while living in The Big City for the summer of 2007 (mostly, 1 1/2 tunes were older); you know, the main city you hear about sometimes. The songs are all more or less about that whole thing, if you know what I mean. Then the songs were recorded in one big streaming gesture on The Four Track, all by my/herself, with the exception of Frank playing the drums on the “You’re So Pretty” out-tro, about 4 months later. Frank absolutely did not set up any mics for me, so yeah. Then times were busy, and it took a while to mix, which I also did all by myself. Take that, Equipment. These songs are about the usual stuff, love and fear and loneliness and capitalism. Please to enjoy. Love, me

its available for free, and its a pretty cool listen. she sometimes sounds like a cross tween jeff buckley and pj harvey.

martha is also part of princess mabel, who is also on collar city. listen to a track off their listen quick (cause i dont know much).
