you threw the key away.

There's not really a whole lot of bad things happening over at Hush Records. You'll recall I brought up several acts in an Esperanza Spalding write-up in July. Most importantly is Hush founder Chad Crouch and his band, Blanket Music. This year, they released a two CD package of earnest love songs just oozing with poppy goodness. Over thirty-three songs, Crouch and company play twelve eclectic originals and eleven interpretive covers. Covered artists include M Ward, Kind of Like Spitting, Norfolk & Western, and The Decemberists. The Love / Love Translation is available for a reasonable double-disc album price of $15 at the Hush store. You should be there already. You can learn more at the Blanket Music MySpace, but that should only be a pit stop before ordering their music.
