Didn't Brau love hip hop though?
Has Lucius been mentioned around here? The local indie station has been playing them quite a bit. They just released their first album a week ago, here's Amazon's blurb:
Lucius is a triple-threat of vocal harmonies, infectious hooks, and dance-inducing percussion. Pair those traits with the band’s irresistible live show and it’s easy to see why NPR Music calls Lucius "a fabulous band playing such infectious pop songs” and Paste hails the group as "blissful.” Charismatic co-founders and lead vocalists Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig sing in unison – two voices as one – uniquely delivering songs with stories told from the same perspective. Multi-instrumentalists Andrew Burri, Peter Lalish, and Dan Molad round out the stylish, Brooklyn-based quintet. Lucius release their debut album Wildewoman, October 15 in North America on Mom+Pop.
I haven't listened to the entire album, but I really like these two songs (Turn It Around especially). They seem like they might be up some of youz guyz'z alleys as well (not IWB and Martha).

If it's an alt, my money would be on Crashed Car Driver, mainly because he disappeared right as Schloop began posting, and also because they both have a penchant for posting a bevy of random songs with little explanation.
Damn, Lou Reed died.

his solo stuff.
What would you recommend there? I've heard Transformer, Berlin, and Coney Island Baby. Not sure where to go next.
Her album (mix of her two latest EPs) is quite good. I didn't even know the Argus was open.
If you look at the way they both write, with those annoying staccato sentences separated by one empty row, the similarities are uncanny.

Tour, you crazy bastard. Tour already.
As to why Waits decided to make his live return at the Bridge School Benefit, he said in an issued statement, “I had every good intention to stay home and work on my JD Salinger Halloween mask, but when Neil told me yesterday he was serving burnt cow’s eyes on a flat tire and it’s all gluten free, I invited myself!”
I've always wanted to be in The Guardian.
