New Shoes (Paolo Nutini)

NEW POST. NEW RELEASES......NEW SHOES??
about a year ago today I had tickets to see Paolo here in New Orleans, but a series of unfortunate events prevented me from going. I'm still in mourning, hence the video below.




SUFJAN STEVENS
has announced his first album of new songs in five years.
here's a taste of what the record will sound like:


THE BAD PLUS
are going to release their first collection of all-original compositions on Sept 14.
the glorious people at npr are giving us an early preview and I'm diggin it hard.......



THE WALKMEN
last time I saw these guys, they were opening up for Kings of Leon a little over a year ago.
the lead singer was stuck in traffic so they played almost their entire set instrumental without the singer.
new album "Lisbon" is soon to be released.


WOMEN
new album by the Canadian post-punk men of Women
free download of the album can be yours and more here: Public Strain


WARPAINT
Warpaint team up with War Child for the new ‘We Were So Turned On’ David Bowie tribute album
Here's their take on his 1980's original "Ashes to Ashes":

LOCAL NATIVES
words cannot express how excited I am to see these lads on Oct 11 at Tulane
I repeat, words cannot express......


CADDYWHOMPUS
get this album now. I mean it.




is awesome, to say the least. Over the past few months, NPR music combined what they believed to be The Decade's 50 Most Important Records. Not their favorites, but music that made an impact.
