Weekend on Corinthian
I rediscovered Weekend on Corinthian, by Nick's band Love is Chemicals.
It's good. It's better than good — maybe the best songwriting debut I've ever heard.
Maybe you can call it emo-pop... but I don't really need to describe it, because you can get the mp3 and listen yourself. (You can show the mp3 to your friends in the future when they're famous.)
We are all bored, and this makes us bad people...

Things We Lost In the Fire
Low's Things We Lost In The Fire, on Kranky, is great. If you like Kranky records, you'll like this.

Listening to
Sonic Youth, a thousand leaves
A great all-day-breakfast of an album. The distortion sections can be hard to take if you're not in the right mood, but provide an interesting crunchiness against the gentle feelings elsewhere:
If Huck Finn was an LSD distributor on the Mississippi, circa 1968, this is the song he'd listen to as he dangled his naked feet in the water, sitting on the edge of his raft that he constructed from VW Bus tires.
