The Monthly Music Wrap-Up: April 2011

The Music Wrap-Up is a monthly summary of my favorite and other notable new releases. Having trouble keeping up with all the new music? Need some music suggestions? Then the Music Wrap-Up is for you. And please support these musicians as that's the reason I'm featuring them in the first place.

As the weather gets warmer, the amount of album releases ramps up drastically. Spring time is the music world's holidays, and there were no shortage of great releases to accompany the sun last month. We've got music from long-running acts like Foo Fighters and Explosions in the Sky, some dance beats from brand new bands like Holy Ghost!, and plenty more. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy the longest edition of The Monthly Music Wrap-Up yet.

Is there anybody else that can't download this or is it just me?
The flash player doesn't work either.

Hmm, both work fine for me. You have to actually click the MP3 link and it'll take you to the podbean site with a link to download the episode. What browser are you using? The flash player worked fine in both Chrome and Internet Explorer for me.
