Album(s) of the Week

Cat Power, Jukebox
Her second collection of covers. Pretty diverse selection including songs by James Brown, Frank Sinatra, Hank Williams, and Nick Cave, yet somehow the indie chanteuse manages to make each tune wholly her own.



Lair Of The Minotaur, War Metal Battle Master
The band's label, Southern Lord, describes their newest album thusly: A concept record about solving problems with a big fucking axe. OK, shut the fuck up right there, ace...SOLD!



Explosions In The Sky, The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place
I saw them play 2 nights last month at the Great American Music Hall, and have been digging into their catalog since. This is my personal favorite.
