And finally we heard Portland's Reclinerland and their song "Alphabet, An" which will presumably be put on a record at some point in the future, but for now can be found on the best deal in the iTunes music store, the Hush Records 50 track sampler Mile - A Hush Compilation which costs a mere $9.99 (iTunes (better deal), Amazon).

First up, the one, the only, the irrepressible Stereolab are back with a new, totally good, album called Fab Four Suture (iTunes, Amazon) which comes out tomorrow and is just as good as anything they've done.

Next was California's Kevin Blechdom (who is really Kristen Erickson) doing "Interspecies Love" from both her I Love Presets EP (iTunes, Amazon) and also a later album, but c'mon, it's not THAT good, so just stick with the EP. And finally we finished up this episode with Blanket Music (which is also basically the same band as Toothfairy, who has been on The Sounds in My Head before) doing a great Nouvelle Vague-esque cover of Bjork's "Hyper-Ballad" from the Read - Interpreting Bjork album (iTunes, Amazon).
