Stuff worth checking out you've likely missed
Damien Shingleton - The Great Advantage Of Being Alive (Benbecula) (2007-02-19)
Anahata - The Unmade Sound (Entheogenetic Label Group)

Boring as all hell
Explosions in the Sky - All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone (Temporary Residence) (2007-02-20)

I think I lost all ability to enjoy this band's music after paying to see them live a few years ago, having them play for 45 minutes, then coming back on stage after 5 minutes of the crowd stomping and clapping for more, only to announce, "Sorry, that's all we've got. Really."

What's worse is the crowd was full of hipster assholes who completely ruined Lazarus' set just before by talking through the whole thing—mostly whining and complaining for EITS to go on, and outrightly making fun of the music.

Eminently forgettable
Air - Pocket Symphony (Virgin) (2007-03-05)
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Some Loud Thunder (Wichita) (2007-01-30)
Hella - There's No 666 In Outer Space (Ipecac) (2007-01-30)

Expected better
