If you're unfamiliar with Bishop Allen, the Brooklyn-via-New-England indie-pop act, then you probably don't make too many rounds in the blogosphere because, in the words of Zoolander's Mugatu, these guys are "so hot right now." They garnered notoriety in '06 by releasing one EP per month, in the process churning out an eye-popping 58 songs in a year. Ryan Adams thinks that's crazy. Not only that, but I believe songwriters, and collective brain-trust, Justin Rice and Christian Rudder also attended Harvard, where, judging from what I've heard off of their new album The Broken String, it's possible they both majored in being awesome. That's a bit of hyperbole, but the songs do sound pretty good. Either way, I think it's safe to say that if this whole music thing doesn't pan out, you won't see these guys on the corner begging you for change any time soon.
