What I'm Listening to...

A.C. Newman - Slow Wonder
The New Pornographers frontman and Canadian wonder presents us with a very enjoyable solo effort. The New York Times did a great interview with him where he talked about applying for grants from the Canadian government to help pay for this album. Another example of how Canada rocks.

Bobby Bare Jr's Young Criminals' Starvation League - From the End of Your Leash
I'd be remiss to compare Bobby Bare Jr. to anyone. With alt-country, rock, and pop influenced songs, you can't go wrong.

Camper Van Beethoven - Telephone Free Landslide Victory (Rerelease)
Oooooh! You get bonus and alternate tracks with this great album. Even if you have the original 1985 release, why not get this one too?

Wilco - A Ghost is Born
Ah Wilco. While not as "experimental" as Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Jeff Tweedy and company come at you with a beautiful album sonically and lyrically. Jeff should really write a book of poetry...oh wait, he has.
