What I’m listening to these days:

Sufjan StevensIllinois
A brilliant record, but the John Wayne Gacy song is creepy.

Youth GroupSkeleton Jar
A good record in the generic indie pop vein.

The NationalAlligator
A somewhat disappointing record in the generic indie pop vein.

The New PornographersTwin Cinema
Too new to review.

Chad VanGaalenInfiniheart
He’s Canadian, but not part of the scene.

Sam ChampionSlow Rewind
A short, decent, pop record.
