Lonely Twin, the second album from Hospital Ships, is out next week, June 7. But you can stream it right now over at Spinner, so you know what it sounds like before you buy it with your money. And will you look at this? The Pitch has a story on bandleader Jordan Geiger (above) out today in the print edition. You can read it right here on the Internet!

The headline says it all. Check out Ra Ra Riot -- the orchestral pop band, who recently released its long-awaited album, The Orchard -- at the Granada on Saturday night. Now, you can do it for just ten bucks. Bonus: all the members of the band are extremely attractive.
Leon Russell is collaborating with Elton John on a new album produced by T Bone Burnett called The Union, which will be released on October 19. Catch the star on this Thursday at Knuckleheads, before he plays a bunch of dates with other super-famous people (like John Mellencamp, Elvis Costello, Gregg Allman, Ralph Stanley, Jeff Bridges, Neko Case and Jim James, for example.)
