Bruce Springsteen Vs. Wipers

First off, if you have not checked out Christoper Weingarten's (ex-ptw, ex-Parts & Labor) new mini-review project Poisson D’Avril make with the clicking. Plus, you can twitter the reviews @1000TimesYes. His #44 review for the new Bruce Springsteen record: "The anti-808s And Heartbreak. Hard work pays off in life and love and DC. Dream, baby, dream.=8" But then I saw this tweet yesterday: "Bruce Springsteen's super-posi, sorta Wipers-esque Working On A Dream is out today!" I thought "sorta Wipers-esque", whaa?

Upon re-listening to "My Lucky Day" I could kinda/sorta hear some Greg Sage, but I'm still kinda skeptical. What do you all think?

Streamable: "My Lucky Day" (myspace) or stream the whole of Working On A Dream @ NPR

What’cha Gonna Do About It? By Condo Fucks

So, are Yo La Tengo moonlighting as lofi garagerockers the Condo Fucks? Yeah, that's what it looks like. I mean THIS pretty much nails it. Right? The album proper (named Fuckbook) doesn't hit for a while... Feb 2009 methinks. This here track was on the Matador Intended Play Sampler for Fall 2008. I meant to post it earlier, but I was trying to get my blog declared a bank so I could get some of that sweet sweet bailout money.

Hey Sec. Paulson, GIMME GIMME!
