Now playing
- Sky Blue Sky by Wilco — Highly anticipated and widely discussed. I have nothing to add.
- Neon Bible by Arcade Fire — We’re seeing Arcade Fire at the Chicago Theater this weekend. Trying to love Neon Bible as much as Funeral (not likely).
- Why Should the Fire Die? by Nickel Creek — We just got tickets to see Nickel Creek with Fiona Apple (!) at Ravinia in August, so I’m on a Nickel Creek mini-kick right now.
- Broken Boy Soldiers by The Raconteurs — I basically missed The Raconteurs when they debuted last year. But now I love this album. Some of the best rock in years.
- Prog by The Bad Plus — Prog is hot off the presses and I think it’s some of The Bad Plus’ best work. It’s refreshing to hear them play essentially the same kind of music after six years.
- Alright, Still by Lily Allen — Come for the catchy hooks, stay for the dark, sarcastic lyrics.
