OK, so this isn't really political in any sense. But if you're reading this now maybe you don't care. And Bright Eyes is in rotation, fresh after Conor Oberst's brilliant rendition of
When the President talks to God on the Tonight Show on 5/2. Right now its Built to Spill and
Ancient Melodies of the Future. They're coming to town next week and put on one of the best live shows I've ever seen last year. Also in the player right now are the Shins,
Gallowsbird Bark by the Fiery Furnaces, and
Something about Airplanes by Death Cab for Cutie (another fervently anti-Bush band). All 5 are highly recommended for what that's worth.
I'm always up for suggestions on anyone else's favorite bands.
