1. Go here for a good Dolly Varden show, in which she covers Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing." Great song. 2. Looks like the Archive has got downloadable Dead shows again. Dunno when that happened. But here's one from 1980 that looks pretty good. Any 1980 Althea is worth checkin' out, anyway. 3. Cover Me has a good collection of songs with the word "Radio" in them . It's a random reason for a post, but he's got Jesse Malin covering the Ramones, and covers of Springsteen [...]

Sonic Youth's The Eternal is the seminal rockers' sixteenth studio album, and their return to an indie label (Matador Records). I have always preferred Rhett Miller's solo work to his Old 97's output, and his Rhett Miller: new self-titled albumr is my favorite yet. Read his interview at Largehearted Boy about the album. The Dirty Projectors' fifth album, Bitte Orca is Dave Longstreth's poppiest and most accessible yet, and to my ears his best. [...]
