The Tallest Man On Earth - Shallow Graves

The next Dylan? Probably not, but this is the closest I'm convinced since heard Bright Eyes. Seriously, this might be a top 5 release of 2008.

Secret Lives! of the Freemasons - Weekend Warriors

Weekend Warriors by Secret Lives! is my new drinking CD. With lines like "Where were you last Friday night?/We were drinking and staying up all night" and "Well sure, it's Sunday night/And my beer is open wide", the CD just puts you in a great mood to party.

Father Time - Married to the Sea

Married to the Sea by Ann Arbor's Father Time is a solid effort towards their post-rock dreams. Engineered and Mastered by band member Alex Hug, the production really makes the album fantastic. The guitars are full and spacey and the saxophone really brings the songs together very well. Father Time is going to record their next album at Sentient Studios in Chicago next month, and I'm very excited to hear it.
