"The Underdog" by Spoon

I got a last minute invite to a private Spoon concert last night thanks to my brother and it was awesome. I’ve never been the hugest Spoon fan. I have the old albums, but didn’t really delve deeper than the singles. When they played this song last night, I could have sworn it was an [...]

"Rest My Chemistry" by Interpol

I know, I was an Interpol hater… So much can change with one little album though! I’ve had it cemented in my car’s CD player (I’m so old school) for a few weeks now and have falled head over heels for this song as well as “Pioneer to the Falls”. They better release this as [...]

"Human Racing" by St. Vincent

This is one of those rare albums that comes along and makes you realize that some artists nowadays are just flat out slacking. Annie Clark nails it with her debut album, Marry Me. You can read my previous musings here, here, and here, but you don’t even need to. Just go get the album. You [...]

"LoveStoned (Justice Remix)" by Justin Timberlake

I could say some really funny pun about how with this remix, they’re really doing some justice… but I’ll spare you. Justice is a French electronic duo who occasionally bless us with a lovely remix. Their sure to be summer smash “D.A.N.C.E.” is featured on the debut album they just released this week. I haven’t [...]

"The Fly Butter" by The GodBody

I am shameless. Yes, this is my boyfriend’s group that he manages, but they’re frickin’ good. I mean, Dawaun works for Dre and wrote on one of my favorite hip hop songs of last year: T.I.’s “Why You Wanna”. Trev is hilarious and SO talented. They put a new song up on their MySpace today [...]

"Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" by Mika & Beth Ditto

I want to go to a fest in the UK so frickin’ bad. People really get into their music there. At least it looks like it from the various videos I’ve watched.
Here’s Mika and Beth Ditto of The Gossip performing a fabulous cover at the T in the Park festival in Scotland. She is pretty [...]

I knew I never liked that Avril chick…


"The Get Go" by New Young Pony Club

It’s a little sad that I was more excited for all the great new music being released today than the fact that it’s my birthday. Whatever, it’s a chill birthday this year (gotta save it up for the big 2-5) and the releases today are a refreshing burst of life into the dull CD market [...]

"Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova

This song is GORGEOUS. I have a feeling it would be even more so had I seen the movie. Maybe I’ll make that a to-do for this week… however, I still haven’t seen Pirates and that is a travesty. Anyhow, Glen and Marketa make up a band/duo called The Swell Season. They made a movie [...]

"Song For The Fields" by Fields

It’s too bad I only heard the tail end of this band’s set at Coachella while waiting to get my bag searched for drugs (they made me open my lip gloss to make sure it wasn’t a ruse for heroin). This song is flows along in a manner that is haunting, beautiful and rocking all [...]
