WPA Album Available; Raleigh Show Next Week
Very excited to announce that the debut album from Works Progress Administration is now available for purchase/download at their Bandcamp site. You can also stream it in its entirety on that site or even via the widget here to the left. The CD version (if that’s your thing) will hit stores on Tuesday, the 15th.
Some of you may remember that I recently wrote about WPA and my interest in them. Basically, they are led by Glen Phillips, former lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket, who is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. One week from today (i.e. the 17th), they will be playing Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh which is exciting. Read that previous post for more information about the show.
I’ll see you there!

Upon logging into Lala.com today, I was happy to see that they have assembled playlists, 50 tracks each, which cover the entire top 500. As always on Lala, you can listen to each track once for free. They are also running a $0.50 MP3 special on many of the tracks if you’d like to buy any of them to listen more than once.
