The Maldives - Cold November

Finally picked up Listen to the Thunder by The Maldives. I was surprised to see this song on the track list, as I’ve had a copy of it for many years now. The whole album is pretty darn beautiful.

Dave Rawlings cover of “Method Acting” by Bright Eyes has me itching to listen to Mr. Oberst for the first time since college. Beautiful how Rawlings combines this song with the always awesome “Cortez the Killer.”

Friend of a Friend, the debut album from Dave Rawlings Machine, is stunning. Amazingly, this longtime musical partner of Gillian Welch has never released an album under his name. Gillian and members of Old Crow Medicine Show perform on the album. Do whatever you can to get the this album.

This is what you get when you go to Belle and Sebastian’s website. Hip Hip Hooray! Now… if only they could make the new album less dancey and way more sad.

the forgetters at Generation Records. Featuring Blake Blake Schwarzenbach of Jawbreaker / Jets to Brazil and Kevin Mahon, the original drummer for Against Me!. Sounds very Schwarzenbachy. Can’t wait to see them live / hear some recorded material.

AV Club: The best TV series of the ’00s :

I have seen nineteen of the thirty shows listed in their entirety. I have seen at least one season of another six. I don’t know if I should be proud or horrified. Definitely leaning towards super proud though.
