New Islands album is out today! And despite what Pitchfork says, I really like it. At some point in the near future I'm actually going to follow up my Unicorns retrospective with a post about Islands. In the meantime, anybody who doesn't have it should at least pick up their first CD, Return to the Sea.
And what better way to do that with an eMusic account? I'm assuming most of the people that read this blog have one, but if by some strange coincidence you don't, you should acquire one post-haste. As an extra incentive, for a limited time Circuit City is selling 65 download cards (that's cards worth 65 downloads) for $5. In case the math escapes you, that's about 8 cents a download. They're going fast, and in some locations the cards are still ringing up at their original $15 price, but the raw value of this deal makes it worth checking a Circuit City near you.

Don't forget you can get a few live tracks of Islands over at Daytrotter.com. If you guys haven't heard of Daytrotter yet, you've been missing out, thanks to them I learned about Two Gallants, Sea Wolf, Langhorne Slim and a host of other great indie rock. Over all, great quality mp3s. The site/project concept is great. Can't say that I'm a fan of 80% of the bands that cruise through there, but there have been some great sessions posted, and with more frequency the last few months.
