Miners Unlikely To Be Found


Sad news out of Utah as the owner of the mine where the miners have been trapped for nearly two weeks says it is unlikely that the six trapped miners will ever be recovered. Three rescue workers were killed trying to recover the 6 miners this past week. For more on the story go here.

New Music From Rilo Kiley

Indie band Rilo Kiley comes out with Under the Blacklight, their first major label release, this week. I'm in love with their last CD More Adventurous so I was super excited to hear about this new one. Rilo Kiley is known for their mixture of rock, disco, country, folk and pop, as well as lead singer Jenny Lewis. Critics are calling the new CD glossy and poppy, but still full of substance for their more devoted fans. I'm not exactly a regular on the indie music scene but I think Under the Blacklight is fantastic, and I think you'll like it too. Especially check out songs Silver Lining, The Moneymaker, and Under the Blacklight. Stream the entire album on their myspace, or buy it on iTunes this week.
