		<title>The Comeback</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back.  After an extended hiatus, the Tunatunes is back in action, with a slight caveat:  Five days a week, every week, is clearly too much for my busy and lazy self.  So therefore, updating whenever I can, first up is The Comeback (get it? get it?  I&#8217;m coming back&#8230;Yeah, it&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tunatunes.wordpress.com&blog=2756921&post=23&subd=tunatunes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Genre: Indie Rock, Alternative Rock
Mood: fiery, feisty, infectious
Description:  On Gold Lion, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs simply rock out.

Artist: The Decemberists
Album: Castaways and Cutouts
Link: July, July!
Genre: Indie-pop, Indie Rock
Mood: anthemic, cheery  
Description:  Between the sophisticated lyrics and the brash indie rock,  July, July! really rocks out.  But not in that hard rock kind of sense; they are more the thinking person&#8217;s troubadours than anything else, and by [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tunatunes.wordpress.com&blog=2756921&post=19&subd=tunatunes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>California</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Song: California
Artist: Rogue Wave
Album: Descended Like Vultures
Link: California
Genre: Indie-pop, Indie Rock, Acoustic Rock
Mood: rainy, drowsy, moody

Description:  On a very different tempo than recent songs, California is a pretty (but sad) acoustic ballad that integrates the singer&#8217;s drowsy voice and acoustic guitar vey well.  It&#8217;s a fairly bare-bones song, even when it&#8217;s not, as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tunatunes.wordpress.com&blog=2756921&post=16&subd=tunatunes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Artist: The Who
Album: Who&#8217;s Next
Link: Baba O&#8217;Riley
Genre: Classic Rock
 Mood: triumphant, bold, anthemic  
Description:  Simply put, this is the definitive Who song.  By the way, this song&#8217;s name is not &#8220;Teenage Wasteland,&#8221; as is commonly believed, and in fact never will be.  This song has one of the most [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tunatunes.wordpress.com&blog=2756921&post=14&subd=tunatunes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
