This week, Christopher Long once again gets hoodwinked by his principal “dealer.” As a result, he scores a fabulous fix —an original vinyl pressing of Nancy’s Greatest Hits, the 1970 compilation LP from Nancy Sinatra — for just six bucks!

Blood (American Laundromat). Review by Julius C. Lacking.

Christmas Party. (Columbia) Review by Joe Frietze.

Hop Along and Speedy Ortiz bring an evening of indie rock to a packed Orlando house. Jen Cray patiently waits for it to boil over.

Jenny Lewis never fails to make Orlando, and Jen Cray, feel like giddy little school kids… especially when she brings Speedy Ortiz along for the ride.

Central Florida has got itself a proper music festival in the way of the BIG GUAVA. Save your gas money, cause with a lineup this good there’s no reason to drive 500 miles north to get your festival fix.

Jenny Lewis overcomes being the opening band, and sound and lighting issues, to overwhelm an Orlando audience, as Jen Cray knew she would.

Tomorrow Is Alright (Fat Possum). Review by Jen Cray.

Jenny Lewis drenches Orlando with her sweet and soulful country tinged folk music. Jen Cray is amongst the adoring, sold-out crowd.

Fire Songs (Vanguard Records). Review by Tim Wardyn.

Made of Bricks (Fictions/Geffen). Review by Jen Cray.

The Execution of All Things (Saddle Creek). Review by Aaron Shaul.
