Rivers Cuomo: Odd Even In Aloneness

Illinois (bonus Bon Iver review)

Vault: Illinois

28 January 08

Anyone who knows the Midwestern plains knows their highways.

Finding The Highs And Lows Misleading

Pershing

25 January 08

Nearby, please find for yourself an exclusive video production of the making of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin’s forthcoming sophomore album, Pershing, out on Polyvinyl Records in early April.

Daytrotter's Best 15 Albums of 2007: No. 6 Cass McCombs' "Dropping The Writ"

Bear Hands Get Lasso'd

23 January 08
