- Gorilla vs Bear has some nice things to say about young folkster Benoit Pioulard, and a nice live track from Sufjan Stevens, who I think Pioulard sort of sounds like.
- Speaking of soundalikes, Rewritable Content has an entire post’s worth of songs that resemble one another, including tracks by The Decemberists, The Spinto Band and Jens Lekman.
- If you’re wondering what a live version of a brand new Modest Mouse track sounds like, head on over to Stereogum and find out.
- If you want some more of that new Ghostface we love so much, roll on down to Notes From a Different Kitchen and get some more fish.
- Instrumental Analysis has a few tracks from one of my favorite new rock & roller groups, Middle Distance Runner.
