June/July Music Rotation

For me the best thing in music right now is a few leaked tracks from Iron and Wine’s new album, The Shepherd’s Dog, which comes out in September. I don’t know how people find the entire leaked album, but hypemachine has delivered a few gems. Here are some of the other things I have been listening to lately:

We Can Create, by Maps
This is a pretty great album by a band called Maps. Check out the track I posted a copule months ago if you are curious.

The Mix-Up, by the Beastie Boys
The second instrumental album by the Beastie Boys, the first being The In Sounds from Way Out. If you liked In Sounds then you will like this one. Pretty decent, but can get monotonous.

Icky Thump, by the White Stripes
It seems like the same thing happens when I get a White Stripes album. For the first week it is the greatest thing. Then it starts getting annoying and except for a few tracks I don’t listen to it again. Hopefully this one will have some staying power.

Other recommendations:

New Moon, by Elliott Smith

Boxer, by The National

The Boy With No Name, by Travis
