Music Mondays - Carl Athey of Sundials

Superchunk's ninth studio release is a power-pop gem, and a contender for record of the year. You can stream it for free on their website if you need convincing, but I think you'll have a hard time listening and not buying it.

Here's a more extensive review that I wrote earlier this week:

Hold Tight's first full length is up for download as of this week. A little harder than the EPs, but just as poppy - this is a great record. Donate some money and show these guys some love. They are easily one of Richmond's best bands right now.

Learn how to play the drums like this man - then start a band and take this show on the road. Wedding parties around the country will love you for it.

Is there anything that I missed this week? Let me know in the comments.
