After my glowing review of Sugar and Gold’s show in Covington, their label sent me an email reminding me that they’d sent me a copy of the band’s album Creme.

Thanks to GvB for pointing out that Intelligence has a new LP coming out in May. “Thank You God for Fixing the Tape Machine” is a step back on the right path after that ill-advised Magnetic Fields cover. MP3: Intelligence – Thank You God for Fixing the Tape Machine At first I was going to [...]

The Decemberists were on Colbert last night, returning for the first time since Chris Funk popped up on Colbert’s Guitarmageddon. The interview’s kind of a snooze, but their performance of “The Wanting Comes in Waves” is alright.
