MP3: Friday Five 12.03.10 That Ghost, Air Waves w/Sharon Van Etten, The Radio Dept. Acoustic, and Yuck

Starting things off with a wandering winter diddy from Santa Rosa’s That Ghost (Ryan Schmale). Then Sharon Van Etten gives you yet another reason to order the new Air Waves. A taste of the new Minks LP is more Smiths-y than Cure-y but nonetheless tasty. Acoustic Radio Dept. shows off Johan Duncanson breathy pipes. And while there’s a new Yuck LP coming soon, this early track still fits the bill for a cold, winter day. Enjoy thoroughly.
