Weekend Edition: The soundtrack to the new film The Internet’s Own Boy and everything else that’s not-to-be-missed this week from NoiseTrade

This Week's Featured Music Sufjan Stevens Enjoy Your Rabbit PS I LOVE YOU For Those Who Stay Remix EP This Week's Featured eBooks The Author's DIY Modern Marketing Workbook Jenn & Marcus dePaula Your NoiseTrade Books Strategy Jenn & Marcus dePaula Will's Weekend Wrap-Up Happy Saturday to you and yours! From working on a retrospective album project with one of my favorite bands on Tuesday to getting four root canals done on Wednesday, my week has been a bit of a mixed bag. However, it's the freakin' weekend baby and I'm about to have me some fun! It's been a super exciting week on the NoiseTrade front as we helped to celebrate the first vinyl pressing of Sufjan Stevens' Enjoy Your Rabbit with a limited-time digital download of the entire album. This electronic instrumental concept album is equal parts weird and wonderful, with Sufjan's untouchable mix of orchestration and chaos on full, indulgent display. While it may be the dark horse of his catalog, it's certainly worth the ride. While you're downloading the goodness, here are a few more selections that are worth your time and attention.–WILL HODGE, NoiseTrade Music Editor The 77's 2014 Summer Tour Mix As a 90s-era YGK (youth group kid), the 77's Drowning with Land in Sight album garnered a lot of spins from me thanks to their killer cover of Led Zeppelin's cover of Blind Willie Johnson's "Nobody's Fault But Mine". That song, along with 13 other catalog nuggets, comprises The Late Greats, a career-spanning compilation celebrating their upcoming summer tour. The 77's got their start all the way back in the early 80s, so there's a lot of rock and roll real estate covered here. If you're not already a fan, the aforementioned "Nobody's Fault but Mine," their cover of Wilco's "The Late Greats," and their original "Frames Without Photographs" are fantastic entry points. Roadkill Ghost Choir A Blow To The Head Roadkill Ghost Choir is an imaginative indie-folk quintet that made quite an impression with their two sets at Bonnaroo a couple weeks ago. Take a listen to "A Blow to the Head" – the first single from their upcoming debut full length In Tongues (August 19) – and you'll set what the buzz is about. Combining alt-folk ambiance with psych-rock flourishes, "A Blow to the Head" moves through a few different sonic spaces in its 6-plus minutes and closes out in bombastic fashion. If you like what you hear – and I'm thinking you will – be sure to pick up their debut EP Quiet Light, available here on NoiseTrade as well. Propaganda & Odd Thomas Art Ambidextrous Another week, another pick from the indefatigable Humble Beast collective. There's a lot to love about this 2011 collaboration featuring Propaganda's pen and Odd Thomas' production, two great tastes that always taste great together. Tracks like "Como Se Dice," "So Help Me," and "I Hate It" carry a lot of weight and showcase both of their immense talents. They even bring a few friends like Braille and Alert312 along for the ride. Poetic rhymes, slick production, and real world themes make Art Ambidextrous a must have for any fan of conscientious hip-hop. GHumming House Live At The Red Clay Theatre With a unique mixture of all manner of traditional folk music genres (bluegrass, Americana, soul), Humming House brings the best parts of the past forward and adds their own modern spin to create a nostalgic freshness of sound. This live 6-song EP showcases their proclivity for energetic performances and their cover of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" is not to be missed. As a special bonus for Humming House fans, this is also the only release to feature "Breakfast," a non-album, fan favorite at their live shows. When writer Will Hodge can't go for that, you can find him running off at the keyboard about music, concerts, and vinyl at My So-Called Soundtrack.
