Even though it’s only February, I’ve already accumulated a nice little stack of records from 2008 that I’m really enjoying; near the top of that pile is Some Racing, Some Stopping by the Champaign band Headlights. It’s a lovely, shimmery album full of sweet melodies and bits of bliss, and one of my favorite songs on it is the lilting “Cherry Tulips,” which is capped by a sparkling slide-guitar solo and which never fails to put a smile on my face. The video places the band on a platform that could double as the stage at an olde tyme school dance; perhaps unsurprisingly, it was inspired by a dream that lead vocalist Erin Fein had one night.

Amazon recently sent out a, “If you like Vampire Weekend, you’ll like these guys …” e-mail blast. I don’t know what, if anything, that means.
You guys don’t like Feist, right? Just checking.
Female singers making albums of different quality/boringness levels shocker!!!!
Holy crap. I’m going to see them next week and didn’t even realize they put out a new album, albeit yesterday. Boo me.
I saw them a few nights ago and thought they were excellent. Much better than the recorded songs I had heard, and better than headliners The Evangelicals.
