Any music happening yet on the big holiday weekend? This morning I listened to that brilliant debut from Wayne Robbins and the Hellsayers that I like so much, The Lonesome Sea. Sounds better than ever. And then seamlessly segued into that great Autolux debut album from last year that is easily one of my recent favorites too. Guess they both have kind of a retro sound. Maybe that's why they make me feel so good. One is a slick LA-based T-Bone Burnett production for Sony's DMZ affiliate, while the other is so indie you can't even buy it at a place like amazon.com, but both tickle some of the same monkey bones for me

Any good tunes playing in your holiday retreat?
