First up, brand new, awesome, music from Portland's The Decemberists, we heard "Sons and Daughters" from their new album The Crane Wife (iTunes, Amazon). Next was the UK's new indie rock sunshine kids The Fratellis, doing "Flathead" from their debut album Costello Music (iTunes UK, Amazon US Pre-order). Then Beck did his most-likely-top-40-but-I-don't-care song "Think I'm in Love" from his new record The Information (iTunes, Amazon). Followed by Los Angeles' indie rock band The Solids, who have yet to release an album, but have plenty of, ahem, solid tracks for free on their site, including starwars cover "Ewok Celebration". And finally, Brooklyn's low-fi indie band Elephant Parade did "Goodbye" from their debut Bedroom Recordings EP (order from their site).This week's show features a clip from Realtime with Bill Maher on HBO about right-wing "think tanks" who are ALWAYS wrong (it can be seen here).
