NPR always does a great job of previewing new albums, but the list they have going right now is ridiculous. Stream all of these new albums below right now for free (Release dates of 9/4 or 9/11):
Stars- The North
Avett Brothers- The Carpenter
Cat Power- Sun (The best of this list in my opinion)
Also, Deerhoof, Animal Collective, and more...

Forget Cassettes...
... is back, and my brother is now in the band. Pretty awesome. Instruments of Action is one of my favorite albums from 2003. You can hear it and 2006's Salt on the band's Bandcamp page.

Dustin Kensrue has a new EP out today
Dustin Kensrue surprised everyone today with a new EP under the band name The Modern Post. It is a release from Mars Hill Music, his new employer. I have barely listened to it, but it is a drastic departure from his solo album or anything he did with Thrice. Do yourself a favor and buy the EP through Bandcamp for $4 to save yourself a buck and direct a higher percentage of your money to the artist rather than Amazon or iTunes.
