Noisy and wangly. Ponytail, Jon Brion doing Of Montreal, Still Flyin’, the new M Ward album, the new Andrew Bird album, au, hopefully something new from Suburban Kids With Biblical Names, new VEG Club album, Fanfarlo’s album! And maybe our band and the Voluntary Butler Scheme will finally release their debut albums…
