Inside the Skate Scandal by The Twin Atlas (Review)
All 12 songs here seem effortless in their catchiness and prettiness.

Urban Comfort EP by Anamude (Review)
There’s something particularly endearing about her music that sets it apart from the rest of the female singer/songwriter group.

Bad Movies
Blisscent 2 by Various Artists (Review)
As great as Blisscent Records’ first comp was, this second volume easily surpasses it.
Songs From the Shining Temple by Flaming Fire (Review)
Lunatic, moonshine-fueled fun that sounds like it’s from the deepest, scariest depths of Appalachia (and not NYC).
The Blurring of Trees by Lexaunculpt (Review)
Lexaunculpt was sort of an oddity in my recent CD purchases in that it was, for the most part, inorganic and harsh electronica.
Shine by Daniel Lanois (Review)
The themes that Lanois weaves into his songs are what give Shine its true beauty and character.
Angels and Aliens

Denison and the Drunks
Cornerstone 2003: In Closing
Cornerstone 2003: Liz’s Diary, July 5
Today’s concerts included Pedro the Lion, Questions In Dialect, and Joy Electric.
A Remote View by Sans Arc (Review)
The overall feel I get from Sans Arc’s music is that of a person so indebted to their influences that it’s almost a hindrance.
Noise Ratchet by Noise Ratchet (Review)
Regardless of how much passion Noise Ratchet throws into their music, it still comes across as rather conventional and familiar.
Twoism by Boards Of Canada (Review)
A great introduction to Boards of Canada for those of a short attention span.
