Road Trip=New (To Me) Music

One of the many things I like about road trips with friends I haven't seen in a while is it's a great time to catch up on what they've been listening to. I got to go on a real nice trip with some buds this past weekend, and that's how I found out about We Were Promised Jetpacks.

Also, I know their debut is totally old meme by now, but I just got into Tapes 'N Tapes! Dyn-O-Mite. I need to pay better attention. How did I miss out on them for so long? (If you're going to ask me what happened to the other apostrophy, that's how they spell it. Grammarians should be score-keepers, not rule-makers.)

In other awesomeness, I just came across The Meters and have really been enjoying their stuff. To hear them tell it, "Despite a reputation as the finest New Orleans funk band ever, the Meters didn't get their full due in the first go-round back in the 1960s and '70s."
