Weekly Tracks – Jan 10, 2010
It feels like we hit a treasure trove of music recently, so much that we briefly entertained making this a daily post – but we’re all about the shirts! Doesn’t mean we can’t still rock out though with these dandies:

yeasayer’s album does look pretty promising….
also i wonder if rjd2 would be so “indie” popular if it weren’t for the mad men theme
I actually just saw Mad Men for the first time last year. Though I also wasn’t much of an RJD2 fan until recently either. I’d like to think the success of one is independent of the other.
Related case study: Alabama 3 and The Sopranos. But I think RJD2 was successful well before Mad Men. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabama_3
yeah i’m not really sure when he started becoming popular, i’ve just heard a lot about him recently
