MP3: Friday Five 05.07.10 Ratatat, Wolf Parade, Shout Out Louds, Tame Impala, and Jeff Mangum

Some tasty new tracks to tune in for (from LPs to look out for). Plus, some old Neutral Milk Hotel … After I read how Jeff Mangum just performed live for the first time in 10 years, I dipped into the archives for a live tune from a San Francisco show 14 years ago. Enjoy.
