		<title>Bigfoot Discovered&#8230;to be a Hoax</title>

Major news orgs didn&#8217;t pick up on the Edwards affair until after it had left the Enquirer building, but yesterday&#8217;s Bigfoot story (the article given the #1 spot on CNN [and top two videos], remember?) has unexpectedly proven to be a hoax.
Maybe CNN was just giving the Enquirer belated props by running the absurd story [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Powerchords - &#8230;Think I&#8217;m Gonna</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
2008, Single Screen Records
The debut record from power-pop band The Powerchords has been a long time coming.
The band released their demo back in 2005, a seven song EP of finely crafted songs that immediately brought them to the forefront of San Diego’s music scene. But despite a rabid following and a reputation for excellent, charming [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zach Hill - Astrological Straits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
For a second, Hella drummer Zach Hill&#8217;s album Astrological Straits almost sounds like Pink Floyd. 

Then that second is gone and the listener is embroiled in the dense and schizophrenic-percussive opening track &#8220;Iambic Strays.&#8221;
A lot of the disc follows the same M.O.&#8211;that is, Mr. Hill showcasing his formidable drumming, along with also-percussive accompaniment that provides [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fear Falls Burning - Frenzy of the Absolute</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Don&#8217;t be too quick to judge Fear Falls Burning (or their album Frenzy of the Absolute). 

Judging from the band&#8217;s name, one might think that a quick listen will bring to mind typical hardcore, typical emo, or typical&#8211;well anything typical&#8211;but despite their moniker, Fear Falls Burning make music that is far from what&#8217;s expected.

On one hand, Baltimore-based songstress Elise Major&#8217;s self-titled release may feel a little derivative; on the other hand, it&#8217;s hard to imagine her live show leaving anyone disappointed.

One thing&#8217;s for sure: it&#8217;s a rocking, rollicking, reboot of 90s alternative rock. The album jumps right into the rock, and the trend continues throughout. Major and her [...]]]></description>

		<title>Transitional - Nothing Real Nothing Absent</title>

Nothing Real Nothing Absent, Transitional&#8217;s latest release on Conspiracy Records, is comprised of the kind of dark instrumentals that grew out of punk and hardcore. 

Albums like this are always interesting because they&#8217;re essentially the sound of people making music that comes to them naturally (after they&#8217;ve grown tired of making punk music), and it [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Avett Brothers - The Gleam II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If The Gleam II is an attempt to reinforce The Avett Brothers&#8217; cred as their popularity grows, it should do the trick.

The Second Gleam (as it&#8217;s more commonly called) is downright beautiful, and pretty much every song stands up to fan favorites like &#8220;The Ballad of Love and Hate.&#8221; The EP&#8217;s single, &#8220;Murder in the [...]]]></description>
