Fair - the Best Worst Case ScenarioThe new band from Aaron Sprinkle (Poor Old Lu, Roseblossom Punch) is a great modern guitar summer pop album. This is a great sounding album and he has turned into a good singer and songwriter.
Sufjan Stevens - The AvalancheNo, the Avalanche is not an EP. It is a full 20 songs and over 70 minutes of music. The Avalanche is not quite as compelling as Illinois, but that is the nature of songs that are outakes and didn't make the cut for the original album. The funny thing is that the songwriting quality of these outtakes is still better than 90% of music coming out today anyway.
Thom Yorke - the EraserThe Eraser sounds really nice in my headphones. I am waiting for the fall and the cool weather to really dig deep into that album.
Donald Miller - Through Painted DesertsI just took a road trip with two guys in an old VW van. Thanks for the journey. This is the story that is often referenced in his book Blue Like Jazz.

How about that Thom Yorke?
Is Avalanche an EP? I'm trying to imagine how you would fill a full album with outtakes and extras.
Double B - How about that Thom Yorke?
the eraser sounds really nice in my headphones. I am waiting for the fall to really dig deep into that album.
Dust - no, the avalanche is not an EP. It is a full 20 songs and over 70 minutes of music. His album Illinois was 22 song and just as long - he is prolific. But with his lofty goal of doing an album for each state, he should start looking at e.p.'s.
"Fair" has been seeing a lot of rotation on my playlist.
