Gogol Bodello has a new album - it's fun and energetic as expected. Side One Dummy has a stupid flash player with 2 free tracks. Edit: If you are in DC, Philly, NYC, Detroit, Chicago - GO TO THE SHOW. It's fun.

Tim Armstrong has a new album out. It's pretty good. here is a track. There are more at Epitaph.

There is a new one from Tiger Army. Try listening to Afterworld. More info at HellCat.

Hell, I might as well admit that I was looking forward to Reggae Gold 2007. That's out too. Don't laugh.

What are you listening to this summer?

• Words that I love to hear when they are said with a thick Boston accent: "Martha", "heart".
• 3 cool word sites: Wordie, Online Etymology Dictionary, OneLook search.
• What do you read, my lord? Words
• I'm the lyrical gangsta (word'em up)

I just put up a *ton* of screenshots of Ravelry. For all of you who have been wondering what Jess and I have been working on for the past few months...
