It's a busy week here at C&T HQ, but I thought I'd share with you guys some of the interesting new stuff that's come across my desk. Away we go...

The New Rags - Your Room [barroom rock for the new century -- bring it!]
Peel - Navy Waves [synth-heavy pop/rock from Austin]
YACHT - See a Penny (Pick It Up) [typical Marriage Records triumph]
The Modlins - For Goodness' Sake [San Diego indie pop]
Georgie James - Grizzly Jive [repeat-worthy kids song from PLAY comp]
Louis - My Own Good [the good kind of singer/songwriter]
The Marlboro Chorus - Love is in Love [nifty, melodic indie rock]
Thrushes - Aidan Quinn [Baltimore dream pop/shoegaze]
Golden Bear - Galaxy Queen [fuzzy jangle pop]
Scissors for Lefty - Lay Down Your Weapons [dance-rock]
Tigers and Monkeys - You Know [soulful goodness led by ATL export]
Kristoffer Ragnstam - Breakfast by the Mattress [think Swedish Spoon...]
Limbeck - Big Drag [country-tinged pop]
The Dead Bodies [Michigan] - Pink Muff Dance Party... [electro-acid pop]

And the cherry on top (er... at the bottom)...
Patti Smith - Gimme Shelter [Rn'R HoFer cover goodness]

Whatcha think folks? We dealing with a bunch of heroes, or zeroes?

The Catbird Seat has a new track from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. High five!

And from the viral video department.... Kermit covers "Hurt" and Alanis tackles "My Humps." Scientists seen adjusting Doomsday Clock in response.
