Someone at work told me they thought I’d love this band. I already had them in my notebook, but hadn’t checked them out yet. So I sped up the process and gave them a listen. My co-worker was right. TONS of nostalgia in this band and it’s just such a great record to listen to. […]

So, my roommate and I are both home sick today. She was watching the first season of Grey’s in her room and I heard this song coming out of it. I LOVED this album a few years ago. The entire album is stellar. It’s so sad that she never made it. I hope to death […]

I don’t care if it makes me cliche, I love the Shins. And I didn’t used to. I totally passed on their first album. But their second album clicked with me. Then I went back and really got into it all. Then they blew up with Garden State and I think that’s awesome. Whatever gets […]

I’m listening to this band’s MySpace right now and drinking tea. Which is weird because I don’t drink tea, but it’s all working and I’m having a moment. This album comes out on February 6th, but has already been making it’s mark on the CMJ charts (currently #7). Such good music for a lazy Sunday. […]

New CWK vid!! Yay! and it’s super cool. But I wish it were for “We Used to Vacation” or “Hospital Beds,” my 2 favorite songs off the album. And I’m also kicking myself for not buying tix to their upcoming string of shows here in LA. I’ve seen them once, but would like to see […]

This album came out yesterday and I’m a little in love with it. I heard this song before Christmas on XM when my brother and I were driving around in my mom’s new car. We hadn’t learned how to use the XM controls yet and were sooooo mad when this song came on and […]

So apparently Timbaland, the hottest producer right now and originator of one of my very first CDs ever, has been stealing some beats. This could get ugly folks.
First this:

Then this:

I FINALLY picked up the new Koop album last weekend and instantly popped it into my CD player. It’s not out in the US yet, but of course Amoeba had it and it was one of their top 10 selling electronic albums. I looooove Koop. Their last CD is one of my all time favorites. […]

This band has had a lot of people talking. They were on Conan last night, but I missed them. This song, “Brothers,” is cool b/c it’s all chill and dreamy for the first half, then rocks out a little bit during the second half. They released a video for the track today and I really […]

This band came and played for my boss and the VP of Creative today. I got to sit in on the meeting and I think we all fell in love with them. Kind of like an updated version of the Eagles in some instances, but they have so many facets. They only have an […]
