		<title>Sam&#8217;s 25 Favorites of the Aughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This being the end of the decade and all that, I, like many people, am in a retrospective mood. As such, I&#8217;ve put together a list of my favorite songs from the &#8217;00s, which I thought I&#8217;d share with you.
This is a purely idiosyncratic list; I make no claim that these are the &#8220;best&#8221; songs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[the musical treasure i am about to wax eloquent about is actually only a secret here in the usa. formed in 1996, augie march (named after the saul bellow novel) is a quite justifiably popular band in their native australia, as well as britain, which continues to have collectively better taste in music than we [...]]]></description>

Joie: doug
Doug: JOIE
i am getting chills
straight up chills
The Temper Trap
Joie: well let me check them out then
Doug: the aussies are at it again, making me dance in my chair like crazy.
it&#8217;s like airborne toxic event for the more dance conscious
but his voice is a zillion times better and, at times, like that buckley duder&#8230;

		<title>Busta Rhymes, Back On My B.S.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s a coincedence or not that Eminem and Busta Rhymes both released an album during the same week but there are definitely similarities between the two.
Both are veterans of the the late 90&#8217;s/early 2000&#8217;s hip hop scene getting a bit long in the tooth who have been on lengthy hiatuses from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wilco - Wilco (The Album)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wilco is not a rock &#8216;n roll band - Wilco is rock &#8217;n roll.  Aside from the fact that none of their members have died (that&#8217;s true, right?), they&#8217;ve pretty much covered the archetypal gamut: personal crises, line-up changes and drama (thanks, Jay).  But that sounds like a Spinal Tap review, and would belie the fact [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Fight Dragons - Video Games and Rock Can Actually Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chicago band &#8220;I Fight Dragons&#8221; proves that having a gimmick isn&#8217;t necessarily a bad thing. It&#8217;s easy to be initially skeptical considering the band uses the old school Nintendo video game system&#8217;s low-fi MIDI sounds to provide some of its music and they use old NES accessories like the Power Pad and the Power Glove [...]]]></description>

		<title>Camera Obscura, My Maudlin Career</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to Dictionary.com, a the definition of the word Maudlin is: &#8220;Tearfully or weakly emotional; foolishly sentimental.&#8221; In other words, the title of Camera Obscura&#8217;s fourth album My Maudlin Career is a self-conscious nod.
Sure, in the title track My Maudlin Career, Tracyanne Campbell sings, &#8220;This maudlin career has come to an end/ I don&#8217;t want [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s not by The Killers, or The Bravery, or The Faint, or Interpol, or (insert the name of a trendy or once-trendy band here). [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thankfully, I Just Found My &#8220;Medications.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Has this ever happened to you?
There&#8217;s this band you really, really like but they break up after only releasing a couple albums or EP&#8217;s and so you sort of lose track of them. But then years later you discover that some members of that band started a new one and have put out some amazing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lollapalooza &#8216;09 Lineup Unveiled</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The 2009 Lollapalooza Festival&#8217;s lineup, though partially leaked weeks ago, was announced earlier this week. Every year this causes a lot of predictable complaining and hand wringing on the Internet about how so-and-so headliners are old and how bloated and corporate Perry Ferrell&#8217;s festival is. Some of these complaints are valid - but it&#8217;s hard [...]]]></description>

		<title>April A La Mode (Depeche, That Is)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
For a British synth pop band that&#8217;s been around for nearly three decades, it&#8217;s interesting that suddenly people Just Can&#8217;t Get Enough (Sorry, couldn&#8217;t help myself) of Depeche Mode.
Earlier this month, the Mode was announced as a headliner for Lollapalooza &#8216;09, a move that delighted many of the fans of the trio&#8217;s moody and atmospheric [...]]]></description>

		<title>Silversun Pickups, Swoon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Confession: I had heard the Silversun Pickups&#8217; 2006 hit &#8220;Lazy Eye&#8221; at least a dozen times before I realized that the main vocalist was of the male gender. I suppose I wasn&#8217;t alone in assuming the breathy vocals for this band that sounded vaguely like a throwback from the early 90&#8217;s alt-rock era was from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Warped Tour &#8216;09 (Remember that?) Tickets Go On Sale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bring me your tired, your poor punk rockers, your huddled Chuck Taylor wearing masses and send them to the Warped Tour. Tickets went on sale yesterday.
In my mind I kind of associate the Warped Tour with Hot Topic, a relic of the mall-punk 90&#8217;s but here it is still going in 2009 - its 15th [...]]]></description>
