Monday Music Junkie: Kanye, Beirut, Aesop Rock & more

The Wayward Blog is proud to present … the Monday Music Junkie! Download column author Andy Vihstadt trolls the Internet for new music like a junkie with a $200-a-day habit, so we figured since he’s doing it anyway, we’ll try and convince him to share his findings. He agreed. The man’s a true public servant. Enjoy.
