		<description><![CDATA[Fiery Furnaces: Blueberry Boat

When Gallowsbird&#8217;s Bark came out, its humid old South eccentricities overtook me like a summer fever and it simmered in me for months. I championed it to everyone and was eager to hear their next deranged shot in the dark. My first impression upon listening to Blueberry Boat was &#8216;Christ, you need [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=341&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Air: Talkie Walkie

Talkie Walkie has a smooth evening charm to it which is why, I suppose, it was my soundtrack for driving at night for most of 2004 (until Funeral came out and completely took over my days and nights for the rest of the year). Gone is the retro/disco analogue fetishism that the earlier [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=297&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interpol: Antics

Antics is not all that different from Turn on the Bright Lights. The sound is a bit more polished, the reverb has been pulled back, but the big difference is a change in tone and theme. Where the debut was cold and full of winter, Antics sounds more hot, and deals a lot with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=40&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Secret Machines: Now Here Is Nowhere

Now Here Is Nowhere builds up in tiny increments. The rhythm section on &#8220;First Wave Intact&#8221; follows a simple, ponderous pattern, the low-end bass of the guitar climbing up the scale and being reeled back at every third note and pulled back down, while the keyboards set up a dizzy [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=24&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
