An incredibleguitarist friend of mine who's into The Frames, Damo and The Shins among others and who'swork you can hearwith hisamazing rockband www.thisisexploding.com(try their "better" video) and his new more mellow band www.expectingrain.net was telling me the other day about anotherbrilliant singer/songwriter named Damien Jurado sp?anybody here heard of him yet?

He also was telling me about another largely unknown genius named Sufjan Stevens who I've read some glowing reviews of andam intending to check out.

I started a thread in the other music forum about Sufjan a few weeks back, he's brilliant. Get Songs from Michigan, the great lakes state first its better than his most recent album Seven Swans

Damien Jurado is pretty good. A friend once sent me some Jurado tracks 'cause I'm ahuge Ryan Adams nut; the two sound nothing alike tho. Dunno how helpful that is [img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img], but you can always check these
