Around the Blogosphere: Ride, Swervedriver, Jags, Cheap Trick, Hitchcock, La's, Sprites, Son Volt, End, Witchcraft, Magnetic Fields, BOC, Ramones, etc

There's no stylothematic unity here today, just a fine batch of songs one (or more) might like. The groupings are simply meant to provide visual relief. I'm kind of grooving on the 4-3-3-4 thing, but that doesn't mean everybody has to.

Certain exigencies will force me to be even more laconic in the coming days. Expect grunts and head feints. (Btw, I saw I had a visitor this week from Lakonia and got quite excited, though I bit my tongue).
The Shins - Breathe & Mild Child & Strange Powers & Nothing at All - *Sixeyes - The supersighted one has even more by The Shins. (That asterisk isn’t a typo. It shows I’m in the know. Now you are, too.)
