I’m really digging this new Joost service for OS X. It’s a little buggy and I know I could probably watch a few of these on either a torrent, abc.com, cbs.com et al.

Bury The Sound - Autumn Magnets
More friendly to the ear than My Bloody Valentine and perhaps quieter than Explosions in the Sky, Bury The Sound achieve a special niche in the instrumental shoegaze spectrum—one that will surely be gobbled up by music fans waiting for just such a conglomerate. “What Would One Become” settles the matter by achieving that sort of multi-emotional musical composition that Explosions in the Sky does...
