New year, new music:
The Walkmen’s You & Me; Josh Ritter’s The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter; Little Joy; Ray LaMontagne
“Oh bring me the love that can sweeten a sword
A boat that can love the rocks or the shore
The love of the iceberg reaching out for a wreck
Can you love me like the crosses love the nape of the neck?”
–from ‘To the Dogs or Whoever’
