The Old Becomes New Again: Simon & Garfunkel

My love for Simon & Garfunkel runs deep, so I was happy to hear that their 1970 album Bridge Over Troubled Water was being reissued by Sony. The new edition includes a DVD of a 1969 television special and a making of feature. Their final studio album together, Bridge Over Troubled Water is a great album, chock full of some of my favorite Simon & Garfunkel songs. I decided to choose just one to stream for you here:
"Song for the Asking"

The Family Sign

Atmosphere released their newest album today, "The Family Sign". Known for their intense, hard-hitting lyrics and upbeat melodies, "The Family Sign" breaks away from this characteristic style a little bit. The original Atmosphere duo, Slug and Ant, has expanded for this album adding a keyboardist and guitarist and the melodies are more laid back and a little solemn. Though this album is very different from the masterpiece that was "When Life Gives You Lemons, Then Paint That Shit Gold," my loyalty to Atmosphere runs deep and I feel like this album still has serious potential.

Roadtrip Music

Jayne and I went to her house this weekend and ended up spending a few hours en route on a bus either way. Before the trip, I loaded up my iPod with some roadtrip music. Here are a few of the songs I was listening to as we traveled all the way across the state of NY.
