On the trailing edge

Giving Source Tags & Codes a good re-listen, and am digging it much more than the first time. Same thing happened w/ the Interpol album. I’d pick up a copy of Source Tags right now, but Interscope is an RIAA member (Yes, this does actually affect my purchasing decisions [of course, my end of the year EFF contributions as well]).

Luckily I’ve acquired a few tracks to keep me otherwise occupied this past week. A former coworker plays drums for an Austin band called Halley. They played at La Zona Rosa after this year’s 20×2, and were pretty rockin’ live. They’re album is great (where to buy it), with this great post-rocky type feel. Here’s a track from that’s been in rotation:

Also, I picked up a copy of Scott Andrew‘s American Thing EP (MP3’s at his site). I’m ferverntly awaiting some more script rock (although hopefully, with a sing-along chorus).
