Of Montreal
Athens, GAHissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? is the new disc from Of Montreal, and it's probably my favorite of theirs. I've never really been a huge fan, but I keep listening to this one a lot. They're just one of the many great bands on the Champaign-based label Polyvinyl Records.

Menomena
Portland, ORToday has been a huge day for new releases. Included in the list is the much-anticipated sophomore effort from Menomena. Although Friend And Foe hasn't gotten the critical praise that I Am the Fun Blame Monster did, I still think it's just as good.

The Sofa Club
I just may have overlooked this song from The Sofa Club for my 100 favorites tunes of 2006. Sappy, yes. But it's still good. Seems like this one should show up on Grey's Anatomy soon.

Ideal Free Distribution
Lexington, KYI couldn't remember if I ever blogged about Ideal Free Distribution or not. They're from Lexington and I'm constantly surprised with all the wonderful musicians that come from that area. Their self-titled debut is diverse in sound and loaded with hypnotic melodies. The track I'm featuring today is perfect for... well, a Saturday drive.

Michael Zapruder's Rain Of Frogs
San Francisco, CAMichael Zapruder's Rain Of Frogs definitely wins the award for the most interesting band name this week. It's great that such a crew makes music equally as interesting as their name.

Goes Cube
Brooklyn, NYWe're all aware, but I feel the need to state it. The internet is an amazing place. It reminds me time after time what a small world we live in. After discovering the energized sounds of Goes Cube, I learned that one of the band members is old friends with my good friend Fred from Chicago. Craziness!

The Pigeon Detectives
Leeds, UKWhy are there so many sucky UK bands? Actually there are a lot of sucky bands everywhere I guess, but the UK bands really want to befriend EVERYONE on MySpace. The Pigeon Detectives is a band out of Leeds that I'm happy to be friends with.
