The rest of you may also be interested:
Ted Leo's new CD will be released March 20. (Via Atrios, who is not normally a source for music news, but Ted Leo is appropriate.) There's also a freely downloadable mp3 at the link.
Iron & Wine are planning a release in the fall (via Pitchfork).
If you don't know these bands, you need to listen to more of my mix CDs. Speaking of which, I should mail out copies of the 2006 CD to those who didn't get one...

The Ted Leo bit sounds intriguing, if I've heard any of his work before I can't remember it. How indicative is that track of the rest of his work?

Posted by: Mason | February 13, 2007 1:53 PMTed Leo's "Me and Mia" was on my Coachella mix CD. That and "Sons of Cain" are both fairly indicative of his style ("Me and Mia" of course being one I particularly like).
I do need to visit LA, but my usual strategy of "wait for a good weekend and then just go" has failed, since this is turning out to be the second-busiest semester of my grad school career. There's an outside chance I might be able to visit the weekend of the 23-25th, and another outside chance I might find something in March (the weekend of the 16-18th), and otherwise it may be a while. :(
