In the midst of a long day of watching the beginning of the Major League Baseball playoffs, I kinda forgot all about putting this week’s Graboid up today. After a devastating grand slam during the Cubs/Dodgers game, I decided I needed a break and sat down to get this week’s releases up before the night ends.
To be honest, I haven’t given a full listen to hardly any of this week’s albums, so I can’t really suggest anything in particular. Though, most of the sample songs I skimmed through have been pretty good (Ani DiFranco, Dungen, Populous & Short Stories, Mercury Rev and Chairlift just to name a few) so hopefully you’ll discover something interesting this week. Feel free to recommend anything that we should check out!

My Cubs got thumped tonight. Ah, the joys of rooting for the North Siders. Sigh.
I actually have the Cubs penciled in for the World Series, so i’m definitely rooting for them. I couldn’t watch anymore of that game after that grand slam, though, but i happened to come back just in time to watch Manny hit that homerun.
Is anyone else surprised that Mercury Rev are still going at it?
let’s go dodgers clap clap clapclapclap
The Tigers Can Bite You track is doing it for me. Thanks for posting this. Might not have heard of them otherwise. Remind me a lot of the Black Kites…maybe less so of someone like West Indian Girl. Good stuff.
