I Should Be In Austin

Well, not for another day or two, but still.. arg. And I don't even get the consolation prize of watching Michigan in the NCAA Tournament because, as folks at MGoBlog like to point out, that team is a bunch of vaginas. That said, I might get to see the Turtleneck Monster himself if they make it to the semis of the NIT. Yip. pee.

Some music to ease the pain:

A few great songs from Eef Barzelay, the lead singer of the incredibly underrated (and virtually unknown) Clem Snide. Do yourself a favor and go pick up either his solo disc or a Clem Snide album. You won't be sorry.

False 45th links to a live cut of Belle and Sebastian performing "Another Sunny Day" off their new album.

A few notable albums are streaming around the web right now:

The new Essex Green album is streaming at Merge Records' site.

The new Guillemots and Hard Fi discs are streaming at AOL Music. (Link via Brooklyn Vegan.)

And, finally, a duet from Damien Rice and Christy Moore, "Lonely Soldier". (Link via Scatter o' Light.
