Skygreen Leopards - Julie-Anne, Patron of Thieves
This is some more toasted-by-the-edge-of-the-fire psych-rock from Skygreen Leopards, most melodic of the Jewelled Antler gang. Sounding like it was recorded inside a dried-up well (a good thing), one of the most remarkable things about this song is a lyric that pops up in the first 30 or so seconds, "just like to be the Pope for a day, and see a couple of things". Not something you hear very often, especially in reference to the current pope. 'Being Pope Benedict' would entail (I'm guessing) a lot of presiding, a lot of blessing of multitudes, and a nightlife full of bare walls and long hours of prayer. But hey, I guess at the very least you'd get to tour through all the closed-off sections of the Vatican Museum, which is nothing to sneeze at.
Anyway, 'Julie-Anne' is from the recently released "Jehovah Surrender" EP on Jagjaguwar, which is available right here (please read the story behind this recording, over on the website- it's pretty great).

In case the print's too small to read, Rusty Santos is playing a show at Tonic this Friday (along with Melanie Moser of Tomorrow's Friend), going on around midnight or so. He'll be playing stuff from his new album, so it's definitely not to be missed.
