What I mean is, there are many upcoming releases about which I'm understandably excited. I thought I might bring a few of them to your attention.

1. Sunset Rubdown - Dragonslayer, rel. 6/23/09 (Jagjaguwar)
It's still too early to see any "premature evaluation"-type posts (has it even leaked?), but I'm sure it'll be great. I've been a little addicted to Spencer Krug since last year's Wolf Parade release, At Mount Zoomer.

(Excuse my hyperbole.)
My favorite song from their previous LP, Yellow House:
Also, Ed Droste is very amusing on Twitter.
I caved too. Follow me on Twitter if you're into that sort of thing.
