Stream the new Sunset Rubdown album all week

National Public Radio has long been a bountiful provider of quality independent music, as is evidenced by their programs such as All Songs Considered and World Cafe (which first introduced me to bands like The Rosebuds). Now that cornucopia has again spileth over, this time in the exclusive first listen of Sunset Rubdown's new album Dragonslayer, which you can stream all week free courtesy of NPR.According to the press release, Dragonslayer is a stripped down album, with most songs recorded live in the studio, much like their 2007 release, Random Spirit Lover.If you like what you hear like I do, pre-order the album to receive an instant download, and be sure to catch Sunset Rubdown on tour this summer:06/11/09 Cambridge, MA - Middle East Downstairs w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 06/12/09 Brooklyn, NY - Studio B w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 06/13/09 Philadelphia, PA - Johnny Brenda's w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 06/14/09 Washington, DC - Black Cat w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 06/15/09 Chapel Hill, NC - Local 506 w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 06/16/09 Atlanta, GA - The Drunken Unicorn w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 06/18/09 Baton Rouge, LA - Chelsea's Cafe w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies06/19/09 Houston, TX - House of Blues - Bronze Peacock w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies06/20/09 Austin, TX - Mohawk w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 06/22/09 Tucson, AZ - Plush w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 06/23/09 Los Angeles, CA - Echoplex w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 06/24/09 San Francisco, CA - The Rickshaw Stop w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 06/26/09 Portland, OR - Doug Fir Lounge w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 06/27/09 Seattle, WA - Chop Suey w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 06/28/09 Victoria, BC - Sugar Nightclub w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies06/30/09 Vancouver, BC - Richard's On Richards w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 07/02/09 Calgary, AB - The Marquee Room w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies07/03/09 Edmonton, AB - The Pawn Shop w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies07/04/09 Saskatoon, SK - Louis' Pub07/05/09 Winnipeg, MB - West End Cultural Center w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies07/06/09 Minneapolis, MN - 7th Street Entry w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 07/07/09 Chicago, IL - Logan Square Auditorium w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 07/08/09 Bloomington, IN - Jake's Nightclub w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies 07/10/09 Toronto, ONT - Lee's Palace w/ Elfin Saddle and Witchies07/11/09 Montreal, QC - Il Motore w/ Elfin SaddleAlso wanted to share this story about the power of social media in the modern day world.
