So much good music, so little time to post

The other day I got a real treat; The Mugs sent me a copy of their upcoming album Here Tomorrow, and it’s just incredible. I’m already a fan of the Mugs and wrote about them in the previous incarnation of this blog (you can find their free ep Daisy Cutter here, I highly recommend it). While I loved their older work greatly, I have to tell you, they’ve really stepped it up on this new album. It’s more polished, it’s bigger, and it’s even more beautiful and amazing. I like it so much, I had a really tough time picking the songs I wanted to share with you here! I finally narrowed it down to these:

• The Mugs - Woman Opens Man
• The Mugs - Clover & Wine
• The Mugs - Sinister Six

You can preorder Here Tomorrow at the Mugs website here. Check out a few more songs from the album at the band’s myspace.

Here are a few other things I’ve gotten my hands on recently that I really dig a lot:

• Jens Lekman - A Postcard to Nina
• Jens Lekman - The Opposite of Hallelujah
• Akron/Family - Lake Song - New Ceremonial Music for Moms
• Ra Ra Riot - Each Year

Tomorrow I’ll be back to posting about Billy Corgan; specifically, about some new (old) zwan tracks that recently surfaced, which are infinitely better than any of the songs on Zeitgeist (and I like Zeitgeist, so these tracks are REALLY good…) stay tuned.
