The album releasing today that I'm looking forward to the most is Ray LaMontagne's Till The Sun Turns Black. The track I've heard, Three More Days, is funky-greatness, and it's downloadable at An Aquarium Drunkard, along with a good cover of Gnarls Barkley's Crazy.
Some other notable releases are Bob Dylan's Modern Times, M. Ward's Post-War, The Roots' Game Theory and the 4oth anniversary edition of Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys. For a complete list of today's releases, head on over to Largehearted Boy.

Little Miss Sunshine is the best film of the year (tied with V for Vendetta). It's a great movie. Go see it. Twice. Eat popcorn.

I haven't figured it all out yet, but one cool thing is that the CD cover is going to be designed so no two copies are the same. The artwork is going to be customizable. The album will come with all these little stickers – each copy of the disc will have a different set – and you'll use them to create your own version of the cover. The idea is to provide something that calls for interactivity and that's totally different from what you'll have if you just download the album.Wired runs an article about Pitchfork.
Though the music industry has seen drastic changes in recent years, what has remained constant is the fact that most listeners still find their music with the assistance of a filter: a reliable source that sifts through millions of tracks to help them choose what they do (and don't) want to hear. The filters we traditionally depended on – music magazines, radio stations, music video channels, even the recommendations of a trusted record store clerk – have diminished in influence enough to give a player like Pitchfork room to operate.Still Kisses with Saliva interviews Sebadoh.
bands are much better now..maybe because there are so many of them..more to choose from.. i like animal collective, the walkmen, priestess ..i thought indie bands in the 90's were relatively bland.rbally posted a Wilco show, and you can never have too much Wilco.
