Music News

So much good music news to greet the morning (and the week) with!

McSweeney's and Barsuk, like peanut butter and chocolate, two great tastes that taste great together.

A fair and balanced review of Divine Comedy's Absent Friends (on Pitchfork, of all places!!!), made all the more noteworthy by the admission in the final sentence that someone other than me also regards Fin de Siecle as Hannon & co's finest hour.

Bjork being all freaky and gorgeous, talking about her forthcoming vocals-only disk, Medulla.

Colin Meloy and his Decemberists are heading into the studio soon to begin work on a new album, with a little help from Chris Walla, no less!
