Live Ledge #261: New Releases

Over the course of the time I've hosted this monthly rundown of new music, there are obviously months better than others. There are months where it's almost impossible to create a two hour playlist.

This isn't one of those months. There's a deluge of great music to check out. There are celebrated comebacks (Pixies, Green Day), reissues of former glories (Ramones, Dow Jones & the Industrials), and even surprisingly fabulous tributes to Elliott Smith, Teenage Fanclub, and Husker Du. There's also the return of Todd Snider, who just today put out what could be the album of his career.

That doesn't even include all of the new bands that surprised me with interesting debuts. Milk LInes, High Waisted, The Lasters, and many others are new bands on my radar that I'll have to further investigate.

As always, grab this from your favorite podcast source, including iTunes and Stitcher, or...
