So many artists, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

MARCIA BALL – “ARE WE THERE YET MOMMA”

Mighty Fine: An Austin City Limits Tribute to Walter Hyatt will be out on Omnivore Recordings on October 1 and here's Marcia Ball's contribution. “You think his songs are simple when you listen to them, you start humming the melody and working out the chords and you realize they are crafted," says Maria.

Very few people write songs like that, that appeal to you on several levels.”
