TORTOISE!!!

So, I'm going to see Tortoise at the end of the month and I couldn't be more excited. I highly recommend picking up their rarities box set entitled, "A Lazarus Taxon". Got some great stuff on there including a 4th disc which is a live DVD. Really great.

Their collaboration with Will Oldham ("Bonnie Prince Billy") called "The Brave and the Bold" is one of my favorite releases from Tortoise AND Will Oldham. Although all the songs are covers, they are some amazing versions. One song that stands out in particular is Bruce Springsteen's "Thunder Road". Definitely check it out.

Also, Bonnie's got a new single out called "Cursed Sleep". I heard he recorded his entire new album in Iceland...this new song is some great stuff. Check it out. The B-Sides of the single are great as well. The new album "The Letting Go" comes out this Tuesday...pumped!
