A few more tracks from The Early Years, the upcoming Sparrow (Jason Zumpano)
album:

If you missed it the first time around, here’s the so-excellent title track.

The Lame Drivers.

The new Oranges Band record, The World & Everything In It is out June 14th. You can
check out a new song, “Ride The Nuclear Wave”, over at the Lookout site.

At SXSW this year, I managed to catch the oddball pop stylings of John Ringhofer, aka Half-Handed Cloud.
The new record is called Thy Is A Word And Feet Need Lamps.

News from 3gut:

Royal City is putting together
a B-sides album that’ll be out later this year.

The new Constantines record will be out
in October.

Oneida’s got a freshly redesigned site,
and the Three Gut (Canadian) release of The Wedding will be May 3rd, the
same day as the Jagjaguwar (American) release. Here are mp3s, and note that the “Did I Die”
track is especially good in a sludgy 70’s kind of way.
