Current Rotation

Here's what I've been listening to lately...

• Blind Pilot, Three Rounds and a Sound (2008)
• Death Cab for Cutie, We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes (2000) and Transatlanticism (2003)
• The Mountain Goats, All Hail West Texas (2002), Ghana (2002), and Heretic Pride (2008)
• Alexander, Concrete and Steeples (2009)
• Hello Saferide, More Modern Stories from Hello Saferide (2008)
• Manchester Orchestra, Mean Everything to Nothing (2009)

I should note that I've written before about Alexander's EP Concrete and Steeples, but then, I called it Backward Math. What can I say? Sometimes titles change. And I'll take this opportunity to plug the new songs that Ryan--Alexander's lead singer--is working on. They're good. I can't wait for people to hear them. Lots of people.

I should also note that Manchester Orchestra hit the Modern Rock Top 10 yesterday. Well deserved, I say. That's an incredible album.

In unrelated news, I've been running a bit more. I put in a bit over 25 miles in the last week, and that makes me sleepy.

And tomorrow, as soon as summer school classes are finished for the week, I head back to the Panhandle for the weekend.
