speed of dark

Wow. It's a great week for Finally Friday; our fellow bloggers and friends have written some great stuff this week. I've been busy moving, and if you want to email me, note that my address has changed. But I'm up and running now.

If you're looking for good quality live tracks from Ryan Adams, Blonde Redhead, Feist, Okkervil River, and many, many more, check out our new buddies over at Trendwhore.

This week's Daily Graboid at The Yellow Stereo includes new stuff from Stars, Iron & Wine, Devendra Banhart, Athlete, and more.

Music for Kids features a track-by-track review of the new Iron & Wine and a review of Wilco at ACL.

Check out the best new band name, according to Lost in Your Inbox (and download some of their songs, too).

I Guess I'm Floating offers some covers, including Calexico covering Arcade Fire's "Ocean of Noise".

Ha Ha Music tells you about the 10 soundtracks he owns. I have way more, but I can't say I own the soundtrack from the movie "Muppets from Space", so I guess he's got me beat.

Good Weather for Airstrikes reviews Les Savy Fav live and profiles The Rushes.

Can You See the Sunset shows off his punk side on a mixtape, and reviews an EP by The Parade.

The always awesome Aquarium Drunkard has a Neil Young cover by Of Montreal and some tracks from The Everybodyfields.
