Someday I'm going to use Photoshop again and update the Best of the Month graphic. Until that day comes {I'll need to snag a new computer first} I'll keep the old picture and instead focus on bringing some good music to the interwebs. Here below are the best thirteen tracks I heard during the previous month. By no means are these the best tracks that were made/released during the past month, but they are the best tracks that I personally had time to listen to. Enjoy the music and tell your friends. All the tracks in [...]
It's hard to choose only two songs to showcase Nathan Moomaw's latest album, 26 ( itunes ), due to the eclectic folk nature of the album. Each song was written and recorded during one month of his twenty sixth year on the planet and each track has its own unique flavor and style. Put together they form a solid new folk album with some nods to diverse acts like Elliot Smith, Joseph Arthur, and The Flaming Lips. It's fun to listen to the entire album in one sitting and reflect on how Nathan's life changed over twelve months. To hear [...]

It's likely that most new releases this week will be overshadowed by Death Cab for Cutie 's latest, but while you've got Narrow Stairs in your basket, why not look around at the other notable new releases? Otherwise, you'd miss the latest from Old 97s , The Black Angels , Dosh , Kassin+2 , The Presets , Vetiver , and believe it or not, a (sort of) new album by producer T Bone Burnett , among many others. Tear a sheet from Largehearted Boy's list and continue shopping! [...]

Fáar sveitir þykja framleiða jafn áheyrilegan hávaða og dúóið Mr. Gnome. Þrátt fyrir hallærislegt nafnið er tónlistin hreinn unaður og á ættir sínar sjálfsagt að rekja til sveita eins og Death From Above 1979 , Cat Power og Blonde Redhead . Heyrum tóndæmi: [MP3] Mr. Gnome - Pirates No Doctors er áhugaverð sveit sem nýverið gaf út, á eigin vegum, plötuna Origin & Tectonics . Skartar hún afskaplega ljótu umslagi en afskaplega fallegri tónlist. Það gæti tekið smá tíma að venjast söngvara sveitarinnar, sem minnir [...]
