Frightened Rabbit &#8211; Skip the Youth Album: The Winter of Mixed Drinks
 Frightened Rabbit released their third album March 1st.  I&#8217;ve listened to it through NPR&#8217;s first listen a few times, but not much of it stands out to me.  What I really liked about my favorite songs on their last album, Midnight [...]]]></description>

The Beach Boys &#8211; Good Vibrations Album: Smiley Smile (1967)
 I heard a program on WKNC that is mostly a music appreciation show &#8212; last week&#8217;s episode was The Beach Boys.  The guest on the show was explaining how much of an effort this one song required, being recorded separately across multiple locations and [...]]]></description>

Sparklehorse &#8211; Gold Day Album: It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life
 It&#8217;s not really my thing to be topical or to eulogize, but I wanted to post a song by Sparklehorse just to provide some reflection.  The most obscure band I knew while growing up was probably Green Day, so I didn&#8217;t really know anything by [...]]]></description>

Joanne Newsome &#8211; Easy Album: Have One On Me
 Since our comments have gone quiescent I figured I&#8217;d spice things up with a less agreeable musician.  This is Joanne Newsome&#8217;s third album and is an epic two hours long.  Even if you find her voice intolerable, the depth and development of each piece [...]]]></description>

Tunng &#8211; Don&#8217;t Look Down Or Back Album: And Then We Saw Land
 Tunng, who&#8217;s single Bullets we posted early last year, is releasing a new album this month.  They are a folk group from the UK, but they have a sort of twist to their sound.  They use unique sounding instruments, like [...]]]></description>

Freelance Whales &#8211; Generator ^ First Floor Album: Weathervanes
 Freelance Whales released this album (their first to my knowledge) in late December last year.  They&#8217;re from Williamsburg in NYC which I&#8217;ve been to once but would like to check out more.  I&#8217;m a sucker for good chord progressions but I also think the [...]]]></description>

Gorillaz &#8211; Superfast Jellyfish Album: Plastic Beach
 The Gorillaz are coming out with another album on March 9th, and it&#8217;s available to stream through NPR&#8217;s first listen here.  I listened to it today twice, back to back, and it is pretty awesome.  There were about four songs on there I would have been [...]]]></description>

Eluvium &#8211; Leaves Eclipse the Light Album: 
 Eluvium is the name given to Matthew Cooper&#8217;s one man show.  He is based in Portland Oregon and has done a few ambient records dating back to 2003 but this is the first featuring voice.  It&#8217;s a style that many won&#8217;t find compelling but for [...]]]></description>

The New Pornographers &#8211; Your Hands (Together) Album: Together
 I have to say I like this better than all the New Pornographers stuff I&#8217;ve heard.  I don&#8217;t know what it is about it exactly &#8211; maybe it&#8217;s less dominated by the vocals.  They are from Vancouver, so this is sort of an (unintentional) [...]]]></description>

Retribution Gospel Choir &#8211; Hide it Away Album: 2
 You may recognize the lead singer here from the band Low.  The bassist is also from Low.  This song is a nice change from what he usually sings with Low, but the rest of their stuff is fairly angry.  This is their second [...]]]></description>

Morning Benders &#8211; Excuses Album: Big Echo
 I&#8217;m finally submitting to the hype for this Morning Benders song.  This release seems to be a viral sort of marketing stunt, and it seems to have caught on.  Pretty much every blog I turned to for new music had posted this.  I&#8217;m not in [...]]]></description>

 Going way back for this one.  My friend Jeff introduced me to Rufus Wainwright in 2004 with this song.  We listened to this on our way down to Miami for the summer.  Wainwright uses an arrangement of Ravel&#8217;s Bolero as the accompaniment [...]]]></description>
