I just bought a few new records and want to mention a particularly great one. Elvis Perkins' (Anthony Perkins of Psycho fame's son) album Ash Wednesday is terrific. If you forgive that he kind of sounds like Jeff Mangum (it seems natural, not forced) and therefore don't force a comparison to Neutral Milk Hotel--which is unfair to anyone--then you'll find a beautiful album of fragility and sadness. I highly recommend it.
It's in my "Save for Later" on emusic. I'll snag it as soon as my downloads refresh here in a few days.
