Finally, something worth blogging about...

Pretty sure you guys have all been eagerly awaiting the return of the Indie Anna Blog, right? Well, your wait is finally over, at least until the end of this post. It's been a rough couple of months, seeing how just about every indie release has sucked mad ass. Hard to write a music blog when everything being released is garbage.

Luckily for us it looks like the drought might soon be coming to an end. The new year will be bringing with it Mine Is Yours, the third album from Indie Anna Blog favorite Cold War Kids. Get your first taste of Mine is Yours (courtesy of TheMusicNinja.com) below. Enjoy!

I dunno, Monday would be better for the alliteration, but whatever.

So you say you like ambient rock? Mellow voices and tunes to serenade you to sleep? Well my friends, The Album Leaf sounds like your cup of tea. The melodic tones of "Falling from the Sun" gives a interesting background to Jimmy LaValle's vocals. I am a sucker for Sub-Pop Artists and they do not fail.
