One morning last week, when my alarm clock sounded and XPN kicked on—my standard start to the day—I was greeted by a catchy folk melody sung in three-part harmony. It was upbeat but relaxed, exactly the kind of thing I needed to get from asleep to groggy to somewhat coherent. When the song was over, Michaela Majoun said that the catchy song was called "Coney Island," and that it was by a group named Good Old War (MySpace). The name sounded familiar, but I couldn't quite place where from. So I checked my pile of promo CDs, an ever-growing backlog of music that I need to listen to to decide what to write up and recommend on this website, and sure enough, Good Old War's album, was sitting there, unwrapped and unheard. But "Coney Island" was catchy enough, so I figured I would bump it to the top of the list and give it a listen.
