It was really and truly heartwarming to receive public validation from a band I love regarding an album so godawful that I actually called it out in writing:

On the positive side of things we have so much new music for you today that I don't even know where to start.  I can tell you that it covers a wide range of styles from new wave to Springsteen-esque to punk rock to shoegaze.  There are also a bunch of worthwhile videos at the bottom of this post.

Today's all-new  480 Minutes show will feature new music by All Them Witches (Nashville, TN, @AllThemWitches),  Beach House (Baltimore, MD, @beaccchhoussse), Craig Finn (The Hold Steady, @SteadyCraig),  Deerhunter (Atlanta, GA, @DeerhunterScene), Dolls For Idols (Berlin, Germany, @DollsForIdols), Foals (Oxford, England, @foals),  Frank Turner (Winchester, England, @FrankTurner), Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, Folk Implosion, etc., @TheLouBarlow),   Meat Wave (Chicago, IL, @meatwaveband), Mike Krol (Madison, WI, @MikeFredKrol), Monokle (St. Petersburg, Russia, @Monokle),  Painted Palms (San Francisco, CA, @PaintedPalms),  Reatards (re-issue of Memphis band's 2nd album), Silverbird (New York, NY, @SilverbirdSongs), Swimm (Los Angeles, CA, @SwimmMusic), Teen Daze (Vancouver, Canada, @TeenDaze), and  Tijuana Panthers (Long Beach, CA, @TijuanaPanthers).
