The Mary Onettes are releasing a new single next week entitled "Puzzles". It's from their upcoming sophomore album, Islands .

The b-side to Grizzly Bear's "While You Wait For The Others" single is a version of the song with lead vocals by...Michael McDonald?

Michael McDonald) Grizzly Bear official site Grizzly Bear on MySpace

Islands have a new album coming out next week entitled Vapours . On it, we can hear Islands moving towards more 60's styled rock. Guess that Kinks cover they did was a good representation of what they were listening to recently... Islands - Vapours Islands official site Island on MySpace
Diamond Rings is a one man bedroom pop act from Toronto. The first song to bubble up is the irresistible "All Yr Songs"! It seems perfectly appropriate to play this song at the beginning of fall - still joyous, but pining for better days... Diamond Rings - All Yr Songs Diamond Rings on MySpace
Back in the fold here, been a busy past 2 weeks! Anyway, I have some musical catching up to do. Up first is Calico Horse, a folky, experimental band from from San Diego.

Back from the northwest with some fresh music! You need to check out No-Fi Soul Rebellion - it's a crazy mix of Ghostland Observatory, Prince, and MGMT. Saw a live show by these guys and was blown away by their live performance. If you ever get the chance, go see 'em!

Sea Wolf's got a new album coming out 9/22 entitled, White Water, White Bloom . In a brilliant marketing move, they've released a track that didn't make the album. I like what I hear from "Stanislaus", so if this is a B-side, I can't wait for the proper album! Sea Wolf - Stanislaus Sea Wolf official site Sea Wolf on MySpace
Lou Barlow's been busy with Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jr. reunions the last few years, but he still had time to record a new solo album! Goodnight Unknown will be released October 6th on Merge. "Gravitate" is a great track - it's personal and intimate, but still has rough edges...the acoustic guitar sounds like it's been dragged through quicksand (in a good way)! Lou Barlow - Gravitate Lou Barlow official website
I guess it's been a hip-hop kind of week - today I've got Seattle's Fresh Espresso for your listening pleasure. Need a little energy for Friday afternoon? Throw this track on. Fresh Espresso - Diamond Pistols Fresh Espresso on MySpace

Recently I've been grooving to the instrumental dub-step, hip-hip stylings of Boy 8-Bit. There's something energetic, but soothing about it. I first discovered him through his remix work, but now I'm starting to see the brilliance of his solo stuff! Boy 8-Bit - Baltic Pine Boy 8-Bit on MySpace
