		<title>Polar Bear Added  To Endangered Species List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
	Seeing as how this is my namesake, I must say - it&#8217;s about fricken time! Now if we could just get music reviewers added to the list, we&#8217;d be in bu$ine$$.

	Sorry for the two &#8220;science&#8221; posts in a row. Music reviews will resume, er, shortly.

		<title>Colony Collapse Disorder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	No, Colony Collapse Disorder is not the title of the latest Apples In Stereo album. If you&#8217;ve read this blog for any length of time, you&#8217;ll know that I like to throw in occasional &#8220;science-y&#8221; stuff into the mix. Because I like to annoy everyone who comes here thinking this is a pure music review [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sudden Ensemble - Life In A Birdcage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Initial Thoughts on Sudden Ensemble&#8217;s album &#8220;Life In A Birdcage&#8221;:
	1. Slightly atonal indie rock is &#8220;interesting&#8221; at 8:30am in the morning.
2. &#8220;Beautiful Shape&#8221; is a shambling beautiful shape.
3. &#8220;Combustion Blues&#8221; is an earful!
4. Robert Pollard vs. Sudden Ensemble in a barfight: not sure who would win yet.
5. I bet this album could get good airplay [...]]]></description>

		<title>Annabella - Say Goodnight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I lost the sheet that came with this CD, but decided to give it a review anyhow.  The Texas based husband / wife duo Annabella makes lovely indie pop that really reminds me of Innocence Mission, Mojave 3, maybe Sarah McLaughlin a little. Later into the CD, on &#8220;Just So You Know&#8221;, I realized [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Was In A Cave All Winter Long</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Dear Bands Who Sent Me Stuff This Year,
	Sorries, I&#8217;ve been very slow to get to yer music - you see, like normal polar bears I usually hibernate through the winter. Seeing as it was a very long and cold winter, I haven&#8217;t really gotten my paws under me yet. Thusly, there are a million and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sera Cahoone - Only As The Day Is Long</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;d actually been looking forward to this album for a really long time. Funny, the first time I heard Sera Cahoone I had no idea she also sprang forth from the (now seminal) band Carissa&#8217;s Wierd. I just knew she was somehow related to Band of Horses and I really liked the songs from her [...]]]></description>

		<title>RIP Gary Gygax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
	We used to have Dungeons and Dragons campaigns going in the 70s and 80s. Good times. Dungeon Master: &#8220;You can&#8217;t carry a 10 foot pole in a backpack&#8230;&#8221; Me: &#8220;But I have this backpack of Infinite Holding&#8230;&#8221;  Encumberance? What Encumberance. Most games ended up getting involved in a 9th level Wish spell somehow&#8230;
	In honor [...]]]></description>

		<title>Citified - The Meeting After The Meeting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Lately, I have been really digging the album from Citified. Listening to &#8220;The Meeting After The Meeting&#8221; is like being in a shoegazer timewarp. Definitely channeling some good old Cure, Echo and the Bunnyman and The Church, this is one the best albums I&#8217;ve heard lately in this genre. Hey, the neu 80s are back [...]]]></description>

		<title>NO MORE HOLD STEADY PLEASE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	OK am I the only one who is really, really, really tired of the band Hold Steady? I suspect I am, because I continue to hear this completely annoying band being played 24/7 on indie radio. I don&#8217;t normally come out and post negative stuff, but hey, I was in a funk the other day.
	Here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death To Anders - Fictitious Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;ve been trying to figure out this CD from Death to Anders. From the opening track, I thought at first it was going to be standard indie pop /rock with vocals that reminded me of Sugarplastic, Silver Scooter or maybe Oranger. But then &#8220;Ghost Rock&#8221; comes smashing in with distortion and strange chords - kinda [...]]]></description>
