While I certainly don't think this quality is unique, every once in a while I make a conscious effort to embrace something from a little bit outside of [...]

Sage Francis is hip-hop done right. Actually, he falls somewhere between rap and spoken word, which is why I like him. It doesn’t hurt that he’s from Providence, Rhode Island. East coast represent.Sage Francis — Broken WingsAmazon / iTunes–Chris

Quick background: Bazan was raised an Evangelical Christian, and made great music with the Christian indie-rock band Pedro the Lion for years.

Built to Spill– There Is No EnemyThree years from their last release, Built to Spill has returned with their seventh full length album There Is No Enemy.

Last night, I went to see Grizzly Bear with Beach House in Minneapolis. Beach House was good, but their music isn’t really exciting to see live, and that’s just how it goes. As for Grizzly Bear, I can’t say enough about how great they are. Easily my favorite band at the moment. Take a look [...]

So I’m head over heels for Atlas Sound’s new album Logos. Because that isn’t released until Oct. 19th, I don’t want to post anything from it to avoid getting in trouble. Instead, I thought I’d post a song I found on Bradford Cox’s blog. He has a lot of great mixes and EP’s that are [...]

This week features a number of great releases, so in addition to tomorrow’s Humpday suggestion, I felt like I needed to quickly mention another album that I’ve been liking quite a bit lately.
