You could say May has brought an embarrassment of riches for music fans, what with so many good new records to give your time to. Those include the anxiously awaited (The National) as well as the pleasant surprises (Swedish duo Club 8). And the most-played record on opbmusic for the past week is The New Pornographers' release Together. Among local acts, once again Nick Jaina's record A Bird in the Opera House and Typhoon's Hunger & Thirst were at the top.
