We Need More Parties

1/12 Show
January is typically a slow time for new releases, so I made my work easy this week by playing two songs from each artist (or a related act). The new Handsome Furs album is a pleasure (as expected), so pick up Face Control when its released 2/3/09.

Only a couple links this week, but they're all worthwhile.
