Some New Music (That's Awesome Like The Pope's Speech)

All right, sports fans, April has been, and continues to be, an excellent month. The Jayhawks won the NCAA Championship, the Cubbies are in first place, and - better yet - we have upcoming releases from the likes of The Black Angels, Tokyo Police Club, The Roots, Portishead, Langhorne Slim, and Santogold.
