Jeff Mangum - Live at Jittery Joe's

Hoping to finish up my own album (which I am completing and releasing one track at a time at http://hoponpop.bandcamp.com/album/one-by-one) -- record the final track or two. And then release it to the indifferent planet. Of course, I am super excited, though!

Speaking of dreaming... how about a new one from The Wrens?

A couple albums from down under top my list: Salad Boys and Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever not necessarily in that order, but not necessarily NOT in that order, either. Others that I liked: Klaus Johann Grobe Ohmme Tom Zé Domenico Lancellotti Joe Pisapia Reissues/compilations/archival: Dur-Dur Band - Dur-Dur of Somalia, Vols. 1 & 2 Various - African Scream Contest 2 John Coltrane - Both Directions at Once That David Byrne was probably the most-disappointing new album that I've heard this year.

This is just adorable. Ans I'm pretty damn excited that this is coming out next year.

Salad Boys - This is Glue

I discovered Peter Laughner because of this review of my demo tape in the Chicago Reader:

I DJed at a college radio station, so yeah I discovered a lot that way!
