Surprise!

For whatever reason, I did not expect Frog Eyes to be good. But they are!

Meanwhile, Catherine points us to Le Loup, who is also quite good. Am I the last one to realize that there's a new Interpol album coming out?

Update: And this video for "Mistaken For Strangers" by The National is pretty good too, though I might be biased because it makes me feel a little more comfortable about my own thoroughly under-decorated Brooklyn apartment (the video was shot in the BRK pad of the director/singer's brother).
