Sunday Hymn for January 16, 2011

Angus and Julia Stone - Paper Aeroplane

Nova Mob - The Last Days of Pompeii (Reissue)

I am very excited about the recent reissue of Nova Mob's album The Last Days of Pompeii.  Grant Hart's debut album with Nova Mob is a great one and it's been getting harder and harder to find.


The Former Husker Du drummer, songwriter, and co-vocalist, Grant Hart will embark on a short tour of the mid-Atlantic and southeastern regions of the U.S. in December and January to support of the reissue of the long-out-of-print 1991 album.
