Stoked for the new Land of Talk LP. They’re playing Du Nord for $10(!) in November. This Magnetic Zeros track has been stuck in my head all week. And the recent news about Pavement touring somehow brought Beulah to mind, too. Whatever happened to them? Ben at Blocshop turned me on to The Drums. Keep an eye on them. Enjoy.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros “Home” from s/t
Beulah “Score From Augusta” from When Your Heartstrings Break
Pavement “Spit On A Stranger” from Terror Twilight
