Recommendations
No album recommendations this week except for The Company of Thieves 2007 album called "Ordinary Riches." They have an acoustic ep for free and you can find the song from this episode. Download it...it's free!
I'm still listening to the newest Human Highway album so I'll reserve my judgement of this album for a latter episode.

Comments
I'm not a fan of Bright Eyes except for "Four Winds." It's a good song but I think I like it more because the lovely Maria Taylor is playing drums in the video. I did see him in concert but only because Feist opened up the show. Anyway, Danny Callahan is the best song on the album.

Final note
These are a bunch of good songs from mediocre albums or ep. Again, buy these albums at your own risk but do search for the posted songs and support these artists.

Thank you for listening. Share this podcast if you can.

Recommendations
"Lust Lust Lust" from The Raveonettes is a very good album. I liked some songs off of their other albums but this one is special. My top album of the year, even though it was released in '07 in the UK-released in 'o8 in the US.
"A Mouthful" from The Do is a very good album also. The feel of the songs vary from one to the next. This might be my second favorite album of the year.
I'm still listening to the new Jenny Lewis so the verdict is still in the air.

Final note
The song by Smokekiller and The Ruby Suns are the only songs that I like from each band. Seek out the song but listen to the album at your own risk. I can't recomend the albums from the other artists because of the lack of good songs.
