This week’s music section is the most exciting thing to happen since the giant Lego man appeared in the Dutch Sea

Oh sure, when Jake Gyllenhaal grabs the asses of Viva Voce it’s totally cool. But when I do it, I get maced.
MP3: Viva Voce - From The Devil Himself

The Ditty Bops
have toured the country on bicycles—that is so insane! Now the duo is traveling via a van (sellouts!), but that just means more bike parking in front of the club for you and me.
MP3: The Ditty Bops - Waking Up In The City

Gh-gh-gh-osts? Well, The Pine Hill Haints ain’t afraid of ‘em. The “Alabama Ghost Country” band is totally like the Egon Spengler of touring bands. Wow, that just might be the single worst description of a band in the history of the written word.
MP3: The Pine Hill Haints - Merry Widows Of Joe Cain

When Bulgarian sensation Joro-Boro brings the Cold War to the hot dance floor, everyone wins.
Sorry, no MP3 link, his mixes are too long to post here.
Bulgaria strong! American blog servers weak!
