Greetings my fellow NoiseTraders and a happy holiday weekend to you all! When I think of Independence Day, a few things immediately spring to mind. I think of Harry Connick, Jr. as a fighter pilot, Jeff Goldblum saving the world from an all-out alien attack with nothing more than a simple computer virus, and Will Smith teaching us all the best way to introduce yourself to new visitors (punching them directly in the face and saying "Welcome to Earth", of course). Oh, and I think of apple pie and fireworks as well. Yes, a feeling of hoopla will be in the air this weekend and to join in the spirit of celebration, I thought I'd use this particular Weekend Wrap-Up to revisit some of our most recent (and most celebrated) features and interviews from the last couple of months. We also have an incredible WAYHOME Festival compilation that's perfect to play during a day out on the lake or a day in on the couch. Alrighty, get into all the things! – WILL HODGE, NoiseTrade Music Editor/Community Manager Jon Foreman Old Seasons, New Day When he's not the guitar-slinging melodic madman leading Switchfoot, Jon Foreman has taken the opportunity to craft an impressive catalog of solo acoustic material. Old Seasons, New Day  eloquently captures Foreman's solo side by compiling his new song "Terminal" with a mixture of older songs from his Seasons EPs. The cinematic "Terminal" is from Sunlight, the first EP in Foreman's brand new The Wonderlands multi-EP project that will feature 24 songs – one representing each hour of a day. Read Interview Ingrid Michaelson A Summer Night Out Tour Sampler Even though Ingrid Michaelson just wrapped up her A Summer Night Out Tour earlier this week, you can still revel in the festivities with her A Summer Night Out Tour Sampler here on our site. Not only does the sampler features Michaelson's "Time Machine", "Warpath", and "Wonderful Unknown" from her recent Lights Out album, she's included a wonderfully laid back live version of "The Way I Am" as well. Tour openers Greg Holden and Oh Honey each contribute a tasty track as well. Read Interview Nate Ruess A Nate Ruess Retrospective With his Grammy award-winning band currently on hiatus, fun. frontman Nate Ruess just released his sonically expansive debut solo album, Grand Romantic. A Nate Ruess Retrospective is a 4-track career-spanning sampler featuring a new track from Grand Romantic ("Take It Back" featuring Jeff Tweedy of Wilco), two fun. tracks ("Carry On" and "The Gambler"), and even a track from Ruess's pre-fun. band The Format ("Oceans"). Even in just four songs, Ruess's uniquely creative arc is unquestionably evident. Read Interview Laura Vanderkam The Cortlandt Boys (eBook) While author Laura Vanderkam is mostly known for writing books on time management and improved productivity, she's also an accomplished fiction writer, as evidenced by her enthralling debut novel The Cortlandt Boys. Telling the story of a small town high school basketball team and the impact their youth had over the next few decades of their lives, The Cortlandt Boys is an engaging read that combines sports, mystery, and romance into one sprawling-yet-cohesive adventure. Read Interview When writer Will Hodge (@will_hodge) isn't found with his head in the curtains and a heart like the Fourth of July, you can find him running off at the keyboard about music, concerts, and vinyl at My So-Called Soundtrack .
