I was planning on writing about Ra Ra Riot a week or so ago (it never happened); 2 days ago I go on Pitchfork to find out their drummer is dead. Surreal.
Ra Ra Riot - Each Year
The EP is still being released July 10 - so, you know, buy it.
On a less sobering note, let me introduce you to Fugitive Kind, whose Give In EP came out just recently. I know they're from Boston, but they're good enough enough to pass as a DC band, the standard by which all indie rock bands should be tested. I'm not biased.
Seriously though, they have the whole garage band thing going on, and their female vocalist is pretty tight. They have say 3 different ways you can buy their EP on their myspace, including iTunes, so DO IT.
Fugitive Kind - Colder
I only ran across this story recently, but the Oberlin City Council voted to ask the House to impeach Bush. On a totally unrelated note, Daniel Gardner, the chairman, rocks my world.
Bonus: Edwin Starr - War
