Back soon
Whoops. Forgot to post for four months. A quick site redesign, and hopefully I'll get right back to it.

Art Brut...
...takes a loooong time to figure out. The review of Brilliant! Tragic! may take a while longer.

A quick note...
Wondering why every single one of our reviews recommends that you get the song or album? Look at the name of the site! If we don't like it, we don't post about it.

Minipost: Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
I only have a few songs from this guy (these guys? I'm only aware of the main dude, but I know he at least occasionally had help), but there are two that I want to point out as awesome:
"Streets of Philadelphia" - A Bruce Springsteen cover, I got it off of that PIAPTK Sampler I wrote about a looong time ago. It's really good - if there's one thing the CFTPA nails it's the straining, heartbreaking vocals.
"Tom Justice, the Choir Boy Robber, Apprehended at Ace Hardware in Libertyville, IL" - Ho-lee crap I love this song. I got it off of the CFTPA Daytrotter session, and it describes the (apparently, though I'm not sure) fictional life and exploits of the title character. The line "All those times they thought you were praying/Some you should have been praying" is pretty fantastic, but it's just one among many.
Alright, just had to get that out there. No podcast this weekend, I have two parties and an exam. Yeah, I know, stop bragging. We'll see what we can do for you next weekend.

Minipost: Hello Saferide
In another podcast-delivered bit of musical awesome, I recently remembered a song I had heard by the band Hello Saferide. The song was called "Anna", and is fantastic - a little downbeat, in a twee way. Granted, the people on the podcast spent most of the show calling them "Hello Saf-er-di" because they assumed it was Swedish, but the song stuck with me.
I listened to a couple other songs on the Hype Machine, one of which ("San Francisco") I really liked. It was a little more upbeat than the rest of their songs, but I expect that I didn't get a great sample. They were all good, though! Check them out.
Note: The same band also released two albums entirely in Swedish under the name Säkert! with a lot of success. So if you want good music check them out too, but if you want to understand the lyrics make sure you check first.
