		<title>Take it to The Streets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I speak in communication, in bold type

I once told a friend that I enjoyed British Hip-Hop/UK Garage and he made a face at me.
&#8220;Gross! You listen to Lady Sovereign? She&#8217;s terrible,&#8221; he said, about to disown me, or at least pretend to do so.
&#8220;No,&#8221; I replied. &#8220;You&#8217;re ridiculous. A) I hate that song she sings [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=umbilicalchord.wordpress.com&blog=3948384&post=375&subd=umbilicalchord&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Let&#8217;s Pretend [They] Don&#8217;t Exist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I obviously don&#8217;t hold a grudge against Kevin Barnes for selling out&#8230;

Okay I lied. I am mad at K. Barnes for saying those things on youtube about what is and isn&#8217;t selling out and how doing a commerical for outback isn&#8217;t yada yada. Still, I did see them in concert last fall and the ticket [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=umbilicalchord.wordpress.com&blog=3948384&post=410&subd=umbilicalchord&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Lollapalooza 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really want to hear someone say Lollapalooza with a Japanese accent.

I&#8217;ve wanted to hear that said ever since I learned that Japanese doesn&#8217;t have an &#8220;l&#8221; sound. I&#8217;m hoping some of our friends in Chicago are going to Lollapalooza. It ought to be a blast. Look forward to performances from awesome acts including:

		<title>Canning goes Solo!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two down&#8230;. 17 to go

After seven years and four albums, one of Broken Social Scene&#8217;s founding members, Brendan Canning, decided to break from his buddies and go solo, sort-of.  BSS Presents Brendan Canning is the second in the series of solo albums produced by BSS members for BSS members. . Last year we heard from Kevin [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=umbilicalchord.wordpress.com&blog=3948384&post=355&subd=umbilicalchord&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Lazy Days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometime in the past week or so there&#8217;s been an music explosion resulting in far too many new albums for Vivek and I to possibly review.  Each review takes time to write as well as time to listen to the artist&#8217;s music.  I&#8217;d charted out a huge list but I seriously doubt we can get [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=umbilicalchord.wordpress.com&blog=3948384&post=359&subd=umbilicalchord&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Black Affair: Pleasure Pressure Point</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Steve Mason’s journey as a musician has been fraught with ups and downs.  He had success with both the Beta Band and King Biscuit Time, though neither was able to make a commercial impact outside of Britain. Nevertheless his music has garnered somewhat of a cult following here in the states.  On his [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=umbilicalchord.wordpress.com&blog=3948384&post=356&subd=umbilicalchord&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>XX Teens &#8211; Welcome to Goon Island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The only SFW image of this band&#8230; okay well one of few

With a name like XX Teens, I wasn&#8217;t sure what to expect of the British post-punk band who released their debut album just a couple of days ago. I couldn&#8217;t remember if Safe Search was still enabled, and I certainly didn&#8217;t want any h4wt [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=umbilicalchord.wordpress.com&blog=3948384&post=347&subd=umbilicalchord&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I stumbled across ¡Forward, Russia! on a list of bands with recently released CDs, however their latest album, Life Processes came out in mid-April in the UK. Nonetheless, ¡Forward, Russia! could use with some more exposure (I certainly had never [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=umbilicalchord.wordpress.com&blog=3948384&post=342&subd=umbilicalchord&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
