Free Album Streaming: New CDs from New Pornographers, Josh Ritter, Jesse Malin, The Fall, More

Some new albums start streaming at NPR Music today from artists who have gotten great acclaim in the past: The New Pornographers and Josh Ritter (both of whom have come on the scene in the last decade) and two veteran artists: The Fall (didn't know they were still around, or had reformed) and Kris Kristofferson (a set of late 1960s - early 1970s demos). And there are a bunch of new albums being previewed on Spinner.com as well.
