My conscience got the best of me, so I took down the link to Rabbit Furcoat (google "Jenny Lewis leak" if you really really want it). Jenny deserves your money.
On that note, it's ladies of country night at Father to a Sister of Thought! Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!
Neko Case-Deep Red Bells
Rabbit Furcoat is garnering all sorts of comparisons to the ringing voice of the New Pornographers. Both Neko and Jenny's voices are nicely complemented by honky tonk slap echo, but whereas Lewis usually employs a growl to get her point across, Case ups the helium and soars to another altitude. How else could she ring so much just out of the words "deep", "red" and "bells"?

Loretta Lynn-Fist City
During an apartment-wide music swap last night, my roommate Carrie couldn't decide on which Loretta Lynn songs she wanted from our friend Mike. Her solution: take the ones with the funniest titles. Now I can't do anything without the threat of being taken to Fist City being hung over my head. For those of you who, like myself, don't have much non-Jack-White-mediated exposure to the Coal Miner's Daughter, Fist City's as good a place to start as any (sorry I don't have the whole song).

Bonus Canadian MP3: Broken Social Scene-Major Label Debut (Fast)
As David Newfeld told Pitchfork last week, "Yeah, it's a nice tune, but we don't want to be the Gin Blossoms." I can see his point, but this is way better than "Hey Jealousy".
