I'VE STARTED AND SCRAPPED multiple entries over the past few weeks, each more fumbling and graceless than the last. Their points, in summation: Buy Junior Boys' So This Is Goodbye, it's even better than everyone says. Listen to Sufjan's "Sister Winter" [mp3] and shake your head and shake your fist over and over and over as you realize this man's talent somehow keeps up with his ambition. If you have Facebook, sign up for that thing that gives you 25 free songs each week (and petition against opening it to the public while you're at it). Go read Gerard vs. Bear, this is important. If that's not for you, read this thing over at Marathonpacks.


And please, please believe Beaten Awake's new album will rock you right down to the core. I don't care if I've said that before. Here's a song that may or may not be on it, whatever:

Beaten Awake - Ghost Bought a Bicycle [mp3]

A kind soul sent me their demo, and I think this song got rained on.

Beaten Awake - A and E [mp3]

Listen to that voice. And buy me a tshirt.
