Tuesday at the Music Store

A lot of interesting albums are releasing today, including records from Tom Petty, Gran Bel Fisher and Midlake. The most anticipated album of the bunch, however, is Putting the Days to Bed by The Long Winters. I reviewed this record last month and interviewed John Roderick as well. The album is great, and Roderick, as always, was articulate and full of wit:
I'm sure it can be odd (or perhaps surreal) reading reviews or articles about your work. That said, if you'd like to correct, expound upon or comment on anything in my post about your album, please do.

I think that's very generous for you to offer. Most musicians are timid about posting responses to online reviews for obvious reasons. No one wants to get into a flame war with a writer over his/her review. But wouldn't it be great if people really did respond to reviews of their stuff? Like: "What? Are you crazy? I don't sound anything like Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows!! Why do people keep saying this?!"
