Those Interpol and Bright Eyes albums both charted, but Aesop Rock is a solid addition.

I just found out about a band called King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Cool stuff.

Marketplace Morning Report played a snippet of The Rapture’s “In The Grace Of Your Love” and my daughter wanted to know what it was. So, that.
