Bravery giveaway, Cribs preview

This Thursday at GT's, we'll be giving away a bunch copies of The Bravery's new album, 'The Sun And The Moon'. Their last one had a handful of cool tunes, and hopefully this one does too. I'll give it a listen before then, and play a bunch of songs from it tomorrow night.

On this Friday's radio show, the 5:00 new album preview will be The Cribs' new one, titled 'Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever'. It was produced by Alex Kapranos (of Franz Ferdinand), and was released in the UK on Monday. No word yet on a North American release date, but hopefully it's soon, 'cause the album is outstanding.
