Staff Web Pick of the Week:
Fleet Foxes' "He Doesn’t Know Why" video
The indie-folk wunderkinds' new clip costars some charismatic livestock, disproving once and for all the old adage about the wisdom of allowing Foxes into one’s farm buildings.

Robin Thicke - yuk! Just heard it. Maybe you should give it a second listen, no better not. Give me something else.

If there is some Joshua Radin fansite that is telling people to go commentblast this post I am so going to stop liking him.

Joshua Radin's Simple Times is a great album. Definitely very enjoyable. I love the new Ben Folds. Jack's Mannequin will get better on multiple listens and I can't get enough of the Jenny Lewis album. It has so many layers.
