Around the Blogosphere: RMS Edition

Holy Mother of Malachi but Gary's on a torrid tear over at Retro Music Snob! I had to repeatedly lift my fingers from the keyboard and cool them in the font of ice water I keep beside the computer. This slowed operations considerably, but the fruits are worth it. Do I feel unease at posting so many from one site and having four days of Around the Blogosphere posts in a row? Nnnnnn-a bit, yes, but this is as nothing to the pleasure you will get from the songs. Credibility, I hardly knew ye anyway. "Thanks, Gary," sounds so paltry, but say it I gladly must. Thanks, too, to the bloggers towards whom Gary points us.

Around the Blogosphere: New Pornographers, Stone Roses, Matthew Sweet, New Order, R.E.M., Go Go's, 20/20, Thin Lizzy, Beatles, Who, Supertramp, et. al

I'm awfully glad to have found over at the excellent The Glorious Hum two songs from Challengers, the new album by The New Pornographers, released earlier this week. indie.mom at Speed of Dark's got us kind of wishing she'd have another birthday sooner than 359 days from now (although my guess is, she's cool with letting it take its own sweet time.) The ever-vigilant Retro Music Snob helped me find Echoes in the Wind, yet another new (to me) blog with top-notch listenables. And of course the other usual suspects are up to much good. So thanky kindly, all ye who host and post.
