PLAYSHEET - April 4, 2009


NOTABLES:

  • PICK OF THE WEEK: Black Lips - Trapped in a Basement (Not sure how to peg this one as anything other than unique. Their sound isn't anything new but it should say something that I'm still listening to it days later)


  • SCORE! 20 Years of Merge Covers (Collection of covers of notable Merge artists as done by contemporary counter-parts or some straight out of left field. Apples in Stereo's cover of Neutral Milk Hotel and Times New Viking cover of Arcade Fire are more interesting than they are enjoyable. Like hearing the song for the second-first time)
