I'm not gonna post a picture of Micah P. Hinson because he looks like a huge nerd-bomber; however, I am gonna mention that his new album And the Gospel of Progress is as good as he is dorky. I really really like this album though. Reminds me a lot of Bill Fay.

Martha Wainwright- Far Away


"The Paradise" off of Alan Braxe's Uppercuts reminds me of a first kiss or driving through Arlington Heights late at night. I get the two confused.

"Modern Times" by The Go Find has one of those moments in pop music where everything just comes together. Though these moments are a dime a dozen, it's still nice to hear.

The Go Find- Modern Times
