Anyone heard the Amy Millan record? I'll probably buy it and then use it to gauge whether or not I should check out her Black Cat show.
While that album SHOULD be right up my alley, what I've heard of it was pretty lame.

The live My Morning Jacket set is excellent.
Agreed. I almost got into a car accident today because I was too busy rocking out to "One Big Holiday."

Holy shit, that's hilarious.

And as an added bonus for clicking on that, I noticed on the side a review for a new Okkervil River EP I didn't know about.

New today

IV Thieves - If We Can't Escape My Pretty CD
IV Thieves - If We Can't Escape My Pretty CD If We Can't Escape My Pretty is the startling debut by the gang that was originally spearheaded by vocalist extraordinaire, Nic Armstrong (then billed as Nic Armstrong & The Thieves). The young band hit the road where they developed quickly into a democracy of four unusually talented songwriters and singers, hence the name change to IV THIEVES. Whereas the first album conjured the halcyon days of British blues and pop in the 60s, this new platter zooms toward the future in an explosion of rabble-rousing performances, outrageously versatile vocalizing and bulletproof songwriting.

WOO HOO
Also out today:

Billy Bragg: Don't Try This At Home (remastered with bonus tracks) [cd]
Billy Bragg: England, Half English (remastered with bonus tracks) [cd]
Billy Bragg: Volume 2 (box set) [cd]
Billy Bragg: William Bloke (remastered with bonus tracks) [cd]
Billy Bragg: Workers Playtime (remastered with bonus tracks) [cd]


Tragically Hip: World Container [cd]
Have to put in a plug. Our CD comes out today as well.

Soft Complex - "Barcelona"


And, as a nice little perk, we got this tidbit of press:

Spin.com Band of the Day
There's a reissue of Tim Hardin's awesome 1968 live album out today. One of the best folkies ever, recently revived in hipster circles by Okkervil River ("Black Sheep Boy"). Melody had a copy, at least.
Also out today:

Squarepusher - Hello Everything
LCD Soundsystem - 45:33 (through itunes)


Love the new squarepusher. It's his best since the late 90's (Big Loada, Music Is Rotted 1 note, Hard Normal Daddy) IMO.
A few others:

Badly Drawn Boy - Born In The UK
Dosh -The Lost Take
Jeremy Enigk - World Waits

Been listening to this today…so far I like the "solo" stuff better.
DulceSky - Lands

And the 2 that I'm most excited about are:

The Daysleepers - The Soft Attack (EP)
CDBaby has already sold out of their copies in less than a day with more on the way but Tonevendor just put up their stock.

Never Lose That Feeling Volume 2 (Various Artists)
Was very happy to see on Pitchfork that Clinic's new album is out, and that it's a return to their more rocking sound. No indication of when it's released in the US, so I ordered the import from CDWow. Looking forward to that.

Paste magazine was also fairly unimpressed….I think 1.5 stars
