Alright alright, I know I’ve been basically pointing you to stuff on Stereogum.com lately, but look at this gem composed over there last week. Go ahead, click on that link.

I already recorded this week’s, so wait till next-next time & we’ll hear something from Moon Pix along with the Calexico song I was talking about earlier. Deal? Deal.
Welcome to The Playlist.
