This Week in Great Music: 9/26 – 10/2

Apparently in addition to last week being Andrew Bird week, last week was also “Sarah’s Too Busy to Blog” week.  No worries, friends, I have a review of the (thoroughly amazing) Hideout Block Party coming up.  Let’s just pretend that last week didn’t happen, otherwise.
