		<description><![CDATA[For an album titled The Way Out, NYC-founded The Books latest is an incredibly welcoming record. Samples from self-help audio cassettes greet the listener right from the get-go; you don&#8217;t need to know what &#8220;autogenics&#8221; are in order to grasp the soothing vibe. Throughout its course, however, the album is just as disorienting in its [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps the greatest misunderstanding about the music of John Ringhofer &#8212; aka one-man Berkeley-based band/troubadour Half-handed Cloud &#8212; is that his albums are composed entirely by song fragments. Most critics would have you believe that because Ringhofer&#8217;s tunes often clock in under the two-minute mark, they fail to qualify as &#8220;proper&#8221; songs. But according to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I first encountered Brooklyn band Woods via last year&#8217;s Songs of Shame, I didn&#8217;t want to like what I was listening to. The reasons for my resistance to the music, however, had more to do with my own personal, snobbish hang-ups than anything I was hearing on the record. Woods appeared to be, in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was fortunate enough to witness one of Alice Coltrane&#8217;s final interviews in 2006 — an event that took place before her concert in Ann Arbor, MI and only months before her death. As she sat, sage-like, between jazz legends Charlie Haden and Roy Haynes, she discussed what she believed to be her husband John&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few years, there&#8217;s been a lot of talk about Baltimore duo Beach House — none of which has been unwarranted. After all, it&#8217;s hard to keep quiet about a band that continues to create such enveloping and enchanted pop that delights as well as demands thoughtful consideration.
On their previous two albums, Beach [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie Stewart went on a solo tour selling homemade chocolates. Why? Well, besides the fact that everyone loves chocolate — every sane, non-allergic person, that is — one might argue the juxtaposition factor. Taking eight years, numerous member changes (recently long-time collaborator Caralee McElroy left to join synth-poppers Cold Cave) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a time where buzz bands come and go like indie hotcakes, it&#8217;s been a pretty long ride for Ray Raposa&#8217;s Castanets. While forging a name and identity throughout the early decade&#8217;s indie folk/blues movement, Castanets always played things a little darker — a little more boozed-up than its peers.

Bombastic, rude and ugly at moments while serene and enchanting at others, this record was nothing short of the jam. Needless to say, I blasted it to nearly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the last 10 years, rock and roll has increasingly become something of a novelty act. Do marketing campaigns like Apple&#8217;s Garageband, Guitar Hero and Beatles Rock Band suggest the chapter of great rock albums has already closed? I&#8217;ve been thinking about this question quite a bit lately. But along comes a San Francisco upstart [...]]]></description>
