Pitchfork on the Figurines song "The wonder": http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/tracks/06-03-20.shtml
I talked about that song not too long ago and have the song posted in my current playlist if you want to hear it.

No new mp3 today, but y'know what? We got the amazingly brilliant Marit Bergman to play Tack! Tack! Tack! in May with Firefox AK. How awesome is that? She'll be performing brand new material from her forthcoming album and you know it's gonna be an astounding show. I might even have to fly out - def not be missed. Presale tickets will be made available next month.

I'm still on vacation through Monday, so bear with me as I try to catch up on things.
