Frothing at the Mouth

     I have waited years for this.  Sweden's Afraid of Stairs is finally--FINALLY--going to be releasing an album.  Labrador dropped them a long time ago when nothing came to fruition, but holy hell "Not Today" still makes me hair stand on end.  It's fuzzy pop like indie darlings make now and again, but drenched in reverb and a ridiculously catchy lead-in.  Don't disappoint me, boys.  I couldn't stand it.

    And on a totally unrelated tangent because I just cannot keep myself from screaming aloud, The Afghan Whigs are touring again.  I just may have to take a trip to Cincinnati, because seriously, Pitchfork Music Festival's after party is not happening to me.

Oh Greg Dulli.  You are still magnetic.
