The new Iron and Wine (The Shepherd's Dog) is out. The myspace has all but one song.

"Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car" is a great song, and a pretty good intro to the whole album.

edIT (I don't like the default track on his MySpace, so listen to "Crying Megamix" or "Battling Go-Go Yubari in Downtown LA") is a DJ/Producer who is part of The Glitch Mob, a crew of kids who are all quite talented and have a wide variety of music between them.

He has 2 CD' on iTunes ("Crying over Pros for No Reason", which down-tempo, and "Certified Air-Raid Material" which is more dance heavy). Very different style of music, but the more I listen to it the more I like it. Plus, it's just impressive how intricate the tracks are, even when I don't care for them.

STS9 (aka Sound Tribe Sector Nine) is a group out of Georgia that defies definition (listen to "Piano Noir", "Aimlessly" and "Circus"). Think Jazz-rock-electro funk-fusion. Very much jam band in the sense that even if you might not like their tracks on your iPod you'd still love them in concert. Plus, the concerts are great ways to get any drug you want (read: they have a huge hippy following).

I haven't seen these guys in either thread but I have totally been wearing out this disc. They were suppose to tour with the White Stripes before Meg bailed.

I got the CD about a month ago, and wow it just keeps getting better. The whole thing sounds like a complete mess, but the energy and delivery make up for it more than enough and there is some pretty sweet lyrical content there as well. Stand out tracks are We Used To Vacation, Hang Me Out To Dry, Passing The Hat, Hospital Beds and Saint John imo. I can't wait to see these guys in Schorndorf on the 8th, it's gonna be quite a weekend. (Editors on the 7th and Bloc Party on the 11th as well [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img])

I seen the Cold War Kids when they opened for Muse. I went into it knowing nothing and was fairly impressed.

I have an awesome weekend lined up: Okkervil River on friday and Magnolia Electric Co. on sat. I was introduced to Magnolia from the last Indie love-fest thread and i'm really digging them. So, good looking out edgd.

Also Blindside on tuesday at the knitting factory. Thier first album, Silence, is one of my favorite heavy albums, so i'm duly stoked. The only bad thing is that it is @ Knitting Factory. Don't get me wrong, I like the place, particularly the balcony, but I always seem to end up drunk and lost in soho whenever i go there.

Wow, are the Kids amazing or what?
Such a great debut album.
Saw them twice this summer; once at Bonnaroo and once at Rock En Seine in Paris where they replaced the "fatigued" (overdosed) Amy Winhouse last minute.

Honestly, as much as their album is a triumph, I think their live show is what is getting them they're acclaim. They [censored] bring it every show for sure. I have not been this excited for a new rock band in ages. They are getting my hopes up.

Hospital Beds on Leno

Mentioned them briefly in the other thread. I hardly ever truly like anything the first time I listen to it. If I do, that's usually a sign it's a little too catchy and it tends to gets boring after repeated listens. I honestly loved the Cowards and Robbers album from the first listen, and don't like it any less dozens of times later. Pretty rare for me. Anyone see them at Lolla?

Mentioned in the other thread. Somehow Squirms got on Real World (even the band doesn't know how).

Squirms and Electric Shoes are my favs.
