The IHT playlist, 7/16-7/22

Ten songs you would hear if you could receive WIHT, a low, low wattage station broadcasting from scenic Lanier Drive in Statesboro, Georgia. We'll be trying to bring you a regular listing of songs we're enjoying in heavy rotation each week. Our challenge is to have everyone look into at least one new song and provide some feedback. Suggestions are also welcome.

"I Don't Care What You Call Me," by David Ford from I Sincerely Apologize For All the Trouble I've Caused
"Brain Washers," by Blackalicious featuring Ben Harper from Blazing Arrow
"Scent of a Mule," by Phish from Hoist
"Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye," by the Black Crowes from Southern Harmony and Musical Companion
"Windfall," by Son Volt from Trace
"Wolves at Night," by Manchester Orchestra (above) from Like A Virgin Losing A Child
"I Think I Love You," by Guggenheim Grotto from Waltzing Alone
"Talk On Indolence," by the Avett Brothers from Four Thieves Gone
"Callin' Out" by Lyrics Born from Later That Night
"The Stranger's Lament" by King Straggler from King Straggler

New albums and tracks at the Institute:
Cracker, Greenland
Polyphonic Spree, selections from The Beginning Stages of the Polyphonic Spree
The Decembrists, Castaways and Cutouts

Recommendation of the week:
Paulo Nutini, These Streets (four-star recommendation suggested by Paste and Joe)

What we're gonna get once the funding comes through:
Mandy Moore, Wild Hope—because we've heard good things from unlikely sources (plus, Mandy (right, and hubba!) lived in my parents' neighborhood for a while)
Spoon, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga—because we're just plain curious
Maroon 5, It Won't Be Soon Before Long—because we like M5 (even if they are overexposed)

PS: we decided to keep the Cracker entry as is following a report by Quality Control advising that the entry was "acceptable quality."
