Jon Miller Presents!

While nothing earth-shattering, AOL plays host this week to a bunch of albums that are, at minimum, worth checking out. Go listen to something and pretend you're stealing from AOL.

The Dresden Dolls, Yes, Virginia [if Vietnam flashbacks had a soundtrack, this might be it]

Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs, Under the Covers, Vol. 1

Ladytron, Extended Play

Drive-By Truckers, A Blessing and a Curse [Highly recommended!]

Richard Butler, Richard Butler

Elefant, Black Magic Show [go find out why Pitchfork gave it a whopping 3.6]

Maritime, We the Vehicles

Cities, Cities [no idea who they are, but their description as "moody epics... melancholic, yet delightfully catchy, indie-rock ... throwback to mid-90's organic guitar rock" has so many words that I'm mesmerized.. and.. must.. listen.. now]

Calexico, Garden Ruin [why don't you own this yet?]

Various, Exit Music [i.e., the Radiohead covers album]
