Interesting article on Wired today on the role of music blogs in the recording industry, http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/07/blog-record-labels.

It includes a brief interview with Tom Krell (of “How to Dress Well” – big thumbs up for his record last year) where he speaks about being able to record exactly what he wanted as a memorial to a friend who had passed away (below). Also includes most of a new track from this upcoming album.
