Taken directly from the newly established Maps and Atlases blog We have been extremely busy the last few months working on what is going to be our first full length record.

New 1990s - "The Box"

Jan 23, 2009, 8:50am Chicago is Mildly Interesting
<Download: 1990s - "The Box I have absolutely no idea when the 1990s talk putting things back into "The Box," but I love to think that it's totally, horribly morbid. I mean, come on, "I'd like to put you back in the box?" "I just want to get back in that box with you?" He's completely talking about a grave? Right?

New (Old) Star - "First Grade Still

Jan 21, 2009, 8:33am Chicago is Mildly Interesting
Local dream-pop trio Star put up a new song on their MySpace page called "First Grade Still. It's new to listeners, but the band states that it's one of the first songs they had written together. "First Grade Still" is an apt title because the track basically sounds like Slowdive as arranged for a grade school chorus. It's quite haunting. Check it out at the band's MySpace page. Star MySpace

a bit of cure turns out to be dishwalla
In the midst of recording their new album, local fuzz rockers Apteka took the time to hilariously butcher a mid-90s classic only to those who grew up in the mid-90s (uh, that would be me). Check out a video of Apteka "covering" Dishwalla's "Counting Blue Cars."

Top Ten Songs on Elbo.ws Reviewed in 50 Words or Less (1/01/09--1/15/09)

Jan 20, 2009, 9:14am Chicago is Mildly Interesting
I opted out of doing a Top Ten earlier this month because it mostly consisted of best-ofs from the various blogs--and I felt like I opined plenty about those tracks throughout 2008. So I waited til the chart was completely new. But to compensate you for the wait, I've added a couple of songs for review. Enjoy! 1) Bon Iver - "Blood Bank" Download: Bon Iver - "Blood Bank" Moving on the
