\u201cSGL\u201d – Now, Now. The first new music from Now, Now in five years, and it does not disappoint.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow to Boil an Egg\u201d – Courtney Barnett. This is a song Barnett performed when she first began playing live music, but never put to wax until now. It\u2019s a one-off single, but she also just announced that she\u2019s working with Kurt Vile on new music. That should be interesting.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst High of the Morning\u201d – Against Me! Their contribution to Record Store Day is finally available digitally. And it\u2019s pretty solid.<\/p>\n
\u201cLiving Like the Rest\u201d – Thunder Dreamer. One of my disappointments of my nearly 14 years in Indiana is that I haven\u2019t discovered a local band that I\u2019ve really loved. There have been some songs by local bands that I\u2019ve enjoyed, but I\u2019ve never found a band to follow closely over a course of several albums. That may have finally changed with this band from Evansville, of all places. I\u2019ve been listening to this song for a few weeks and finally spun the entire album this week. It\u2019s really good, to my ear sounding very much like what a mid-90s group that discovered Neil Young through Pearl Jam might sound like. The Pitchfork review – they slapped a 7.7 on the disk – said this was the perfect summer album. I think it\u2019s more of a fall album, with its reserve and mood. But I\u2019m still going to listen to it like crazy for awhile.<\/p>\n
