First up, Australia's Treetops did their single "Gospel" from the EP by the same name (Amazon). Next was Albany's The Gazetteers doing "Bedroom Community" from their debut album Territory Songs (iTunes, Amazon). (Note: you can download this song for free from their label's site.) Then Minnesota's indie pop/folk band The Owls did "Air" from their album Our Hopes and Dreams (iTunes, Amazon). Next Portland's Boy Crazy did "Stark Street" from their 2001 album Foreign Words (iTunes, Amazon). And finally, since I have a soft-spot in my heart for the Muppets, I thought I should let you know about something pretty amazing that my friend Jodi alerted me to. An online Muppet music archive! They have TONS of Muppet music which has been out of print for decades, that has never been released on CD at all, and more. And all of it is just free to download, for as long as they don't get shut down I guess. Much of it is cheesy and doesn't really hold up to the test of time, but other stuff is pure genius. We heard a favorite of mine, a cover of Billy Joel's classic "New York State of Mind" performed by Rolf the Dog on Ol' Brown Ears is Back (go to download).
