We heard a cover of Blondie's "In the Flesh". Then Sweden's The Concretes (who incidentally, 5 hours after this show went live announced the departure of key Concrete and lead singer Victoria Bergsman, what horrible news...) they also have a new awesome album of course, but did you catch the singles that have come with it? We heard "The First Time" a B-Side from their On the Radio single (iTunes, Amazon), but there are other quality previously unreleased tracks on their Chosen One single (iTunes, Amazon) too. Next Scotland's Camera Obscura have seen the release of their new album Let's Get Out of This Country (iTunes, Amazon) I mentioned was coming out a little while back, and it is of course glorious.

And finally the quality bluegrass band Iron Horse did an awesome version of Modest Mouse' "Polar Opposites" from an equally awesome album comprised entire of humble rodent covers, Pickin' on Modest Mouse: A Bluegrass Tribute (Amazon). An above average contribution to the long-running, prolific Pickin' on... series.

First up, an old favorite from Dallas' The Old 97's, we heard "Oppenheimer" from their 1999 album Fight Songs (iTunes, Amazon), a song which is conspicuously absent from their soon-to-be released Best of The Old 97's album (Amazon), perhaps because it wasn't technically a "hit," but whatever.
