"Marathon" - Tennis
"XXXO on the Dock of the Bay (M.I.A. vs. Otis Redding)" - ToToM

Some nice picks. That new Tennis album is a lot of lightweight fun, and the new Iron & Wine is really great (love the first and last tracks, especially, but it's all pretty solid). The new Destroyer is intriguing as hell, but I don't know what to make of it, really. It's delicately balanced between cheesy/awful and cheesy/awesome, and I keep going back and forth between those two poles. It's certainly the most interested I've been in a Destroyer album for a while: he was really starting to repeat himself otherwise.
