I can give him hope/you are running water.

I still really miss the heck out of the band, Broadcast. And more importantly, RIP Trish. In the meantime this little band, Melody's Echo Chamber, is doing a heck of a job filling that vacuum. Hands-down song of the day from album of the week. "Endless Shore" from their S/T.

Explosions pillaging the night.

Quiet night at home with the wife and baby boy, sitting at my desk (which is really just the farm table in our sun room) just starting to go through all the music I've loved this past year and attempting to begin to assemble my top album list of 2011. Have a feeling that this album will end up nearer to the top. Good stuff from a young lad from Boise, Idaho.

Weekends are never fun unless you're around here too.

So now that I'm in Chicago, I'm super interested in discovering what's happening here in the music scene these days.
One of the first bands I've come across is the Smith Westerns who've just released their newest album Dye It Blonde on Fat Possum Records.
Liking what I'm hearing so far from the youngsters in this town.

Have a great weekend everyone.
Go Packers!!!
