Broken Social Scene
From a recent Broken Social Scene review at Newsday:
“Ibi Dreams of Pavement (A Better Day)” sounds like a ’90s alternative retrospective with Dinosaur Jr., Afghan Whigs and Pavement smashed into each other.

Klein’s Perfect 10
Jeff Klein picks his “Perfect 10″ tracks at TuneTribe.com, including a Twilight number.
Teenage Wristband - The Twilight Singers
“Ok. So maybe I’m biased, but put this song on while you’re driving in your car and tell me you don’t feel more alive than ever before. Greg Dulli can set a mood and a scene better than Martin Scorsese can, my friends. This is dark, soulful rock & roll. Not to mention Apollonia sprinkling her spine tingling voice all over it.”
