leicester, music

One new thing to like about spending one day a week in Leicester is the new artist-in-residence at the print workshop. She's doing letterpress, which, although it's not my thing (I'm just not picky enough) is nice to see used in the shop. She is also just very sweet and fun and has lent me some cds. And we were talking to another printmaker there, who doesn't make cds but is going to make us mixtapes (real! mixtapes! I'm 17!).
My music library has actually been expanding quite a bit lately. New favorites are 2080 by Yeasayer, Into My Arms by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, You Are The Blood as covered by Sufjan Stevens, and Deep Blue Sea by Grizzly Bear (as a point of interest, this last one is at the same festival I went to last year). I'm also looking forward to seeing a bunch of live music soon (at Sounds on the Downs and Dot-to-Dot).
New music to recommend?

thank you--that's very nice.

no, no shop open now. I sometimes have things here, but it's just not something I can do regularly.

Music: it's not new, but I've been enjoying Brett Dennon (sp?) a lot these days.
