NPR Hearts Me

We finally got around to becoming members of our local NPR affiliate this year and if I had known that they were going to cater to my musical tastes so well I would have done so much sooner.  There was a nice interview with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver on NPR this afternoon discussing their new EP, Blood Bank, due out on January 20th - they've also got some nice live performance audio up as well.  Even better they've just started streaming Andrew Bird's new album, Noble Beast, also due out January 20th.  

Both mentioned previously here.
