    I've been lurking a lot lately, rarely posting, but I thought it'd be fun to do a 'new band recommendation' post. I'm discovering a boatload of bands in my new job, so here's five I think are really brilliant.

    1. Roy Rieck and The Medley Band

    (Tel Aviv, Israel)

    - amazing alt country from Israel of all places. Now based in London.

    2. Kill It Kid

    (Bath, UK)

    - I used to work with these guys. I really think anyone who likes old blues, Anthony Hegarty or Wilco will love them.

    3. Dan Mangan

    (Vancouver)

    - I think he is, arguably, one of the best new songwriters in Canada. His new album is terrific.

    4. Broken Records

    (Edinburgh, Scotland)

    - They are signed to 4AD/Beggars here and I absolutely adore them. Sort of celtic-jam. I don't think they have been to America yet.

    5. Manana

    (Basel, Switzerland)

    - Really loving this. Post-rock-ish, I guess, with a contemporary bent. Played CMW last year, apparently.

    OK... let me know and post bands!!!!

  3. In London I had to pay £220 for a broker and six week deposit on my flat, plus first month's rent. 98% of the flats here are managed by letting agents, so renting privately is next-to impossible.

    In Amsterdam 85% of all property is owned by the government, so foreigners are forced into the small private market. Talk about competition.. an experience I'll never forget.
