Deep In The Caverns Of My Soul, My Heart Is Twitching, Twitching
Telekinesis is the musical outfit of one incredibly talented chap named Michael Benjamen Lerner. Dude knows how to write a catchy tune. But currently more pressing than the amazing eleven song record of awesomeness, is the bands Daytrotter session—which I’ve been waiting for since March—but lord has it been worth the wait!
The Daytrotter version of “Calling All Doctors” has been kicking around my stereo the last few weeks, and I’m hooked. The original captivated my heart from first listen, but now this version…well, it has me falling hard too—I can’t decide between the two! It’s like falling in love with fraternal twins. But I know this is gonna work out.
Compare and contrast the magic for yourself…
Album version:
Telekinesis— Calling All Doctors
Daytrotter:
Telekinesis— Calling All Doctors (Daytrotter Session)
Back to the smorgasbord of radical that is the Telekinesis full length. Since it’s release in April it has taken up permanent residency in my speakers. It’s one of those rare records which is so good that every few days your brain fights with itself to decide which songs is it’s favorite. If you get a chance to see MBL and company live, you really should take it, it will be one of the loveliest musical evenings you’ll experience, plus how often do you get to see a band where the drummer also the lead singer? Never, that’s when! Or at least not since the 1974 Genesis tour, but we’re not counting that.
Currently my brains favorite from the record.

Now that is some dreamy pop. Good stuff all around. Gotta say I like the Daytrotter version a bit better, at least as far as first impressions go.
