Pythons
This album has been out for a little over a week and it's jumped near the top of my 2013 list. It's top quality indie rock with the perfect pop sensibilities. At this point, I'm not sure it will beat out Ghostface for my favorite of 2013. It will probably get a strong second place, but only time will tell.
The Last Days of World War II
It's been a cold and rainy Memorial Day weekend. I had recently came across this 2005 History Channel documentary series, so I ended up watching most of it. Week by week it tells the story of the last months of World War II with incredible detail. It is absolutely mind-blowing.
The Silent
This release is new and not new at the same time. Prior to now, this album had only been bundled with early vinyl copies of The Silent Surf from 2010. It's a short one but it's really chill.
Brookwood Farms Carolina Pit BBQ
I found something I didn't know existed: incredible airport food. If you ever travel through Chatlotte/Douglas International Airport, be sure to leave a little extra time and stop in the food court for some delicious BBQ. Seriously. I'm not joking.
Now
Italian composer Fabrizio Paterlini first crossed my path in 2012. He ended up becoming my second most listened to artist for the year. I was excited to see a new album released in late April. Paterlini's ambient, contemporary classical works center on his piano work. It's beautiful.

Grange Hall Burger Bar
This place has an amazing breakfast. It's farm fresh goodness, right in my West Loop neighborhood.
Aurora Gory Alice
Well, it's about time I get back to my 20 years gone campaign. Letters to Cleo was one of my favorite bands in the 1990s and it all started with this record. Some of the stuff I listened to back then didn't age so well. That isn't the case with these guys. I can still listen to them today and love it just as much.
Coming off the end of my last update, I started working on a way for users to recommend their favorite lunch picks to others. Just like ...

Twelve Reasons to Die
Ghostface really outdid himself on this new concept album. Twelve Reasons to Die sets the backdrop with the vibe of a 1960s film soundtrack, telling the story of Tony Starks and his demise at the hands of the DeLuca crime family. It's a refreshing twist by one of my favorite artists.
