In this slightly delayed episode, I start by yelling at you about being frustrated with cover bands for a little bit...then I review new music by Punch Brothers, The Mountain Goats, New Pornographers, Joe Jackson, and Metric. This episode goes a lot of places. Maybe you'll like some of those places. No way to tell until you click it.
