Cold War Kids – Mine is Yours
Cold War Kids are back with their latest album Mine is Yours. Cold War Kids songs always have some great lyrics that stick in my head after I’ve listened to the songs (“two weeks paid vacation, won’t heal the damage done / I need another one”). I can’t say that anything has jumped out at [...]

The Sampler Platter
It was brought to my attention yesterday that Amazon.com was offering a downloadable sampler MP3 collection released by the music label Sup Pop. When I scrolled down to see what “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought” I came upon a feast of free music. Samplers from SXSW, Jagjaguar, Arts & Crafts, Secretly Canadian, Saddle [...]

All I Want for President’s Day…

These songs were recorded exclusively for Dark Was the Night, an upcoming album produced by Aaron and Bryce Dessner (both of The National).
