Summer Music

So one of the ongoing documents I've been working on for work is to keep up with a list of upcoming tours and albums for 2009... I know, painful right?? So I thought I'd let you in on it as well - not that you couldn't check it out in Billboard Magazine, or Rolling Stone.

But first, I'd like to grace you with a few albums that I have recently acquired that I think you should listen to as well - as I am addicted. Some of these are brand new, others I'm a little behind the curve. In no particular order:

Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

Passion Pit - Manners

The Killers - Day and Age

Band of Horses - Cease to Begin

Bat for Lashes - Two Suns

... yes I've been pitchforking it a lot, lately.
