[MP3] Mew – “Repeaterbeater”
I was going to post something really meaningful about this song, “Repeaterbeater,” the newest from Mew, but I figured it would be more meaningful to just write out the forthcoming album’s title. So: No More Stories Are Told Today I’m Sorry They Washed Away No More Stories The World Is Grey I’m Tired Let’s Wash… Continue reading [MP3] Mew – “Repeaterbeater”

It’s that time again. Big review Tuesday. Though not quite as much of an anticipated release as say, Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest or Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Regina Spektor’s new effort, Far, still arrives with great excitement and fervor.
