Firstly, thanks to Em for the warm welcome. It's an honor and a pleasure to be contributing to a paragon of music journalism such as GFP, and I look forward to titillating the ears of its readers on a (roughly) weekly basis.
Speaking of paragons of music journalism, while many are content to wallow in their 2009 year-end round-ups and get distracted by holiday shopping and revelry, Sasha Frere-Jones of the New Yorker is getting a jump on 2010 by diligently keeping track of his anticipated favorite songs and albums of the year to come. While I'm similarly excited about the new Lindstrøm record, I had never heard of Miracle Condition, so I decided to check them out. I was not disappointed by their slightly spacey indie rock and have decided to share it with you. No words could be more convincing than that beard, so listen away.

As a side note, I would also like to thank Matt for his illuminating exposé on the various links between the Promise Ring and Jimmy Eat World's "A Praise Chorus." I chose lyrics from "A Praise Chorus" as my high-school senior yearbook quote (seriously), and as a Promise Ring fan as well, I am very pleased to be aware of the connection. I like them Gala apples just fine.
