Frightened Rabbit – The Modern Leper
Glasgow’s Frightened Rabbit have a new record coming out on April 1 called The Midnight Organ Fight. After hearing the two songs they have on their myspace that will be on it and taking into account how good Sing the Greys is, I have to say that this is [...]

Sorry that I haven’t been updating this. I started a new blog a few days ago. I’ll be updating it at least once a day. I’m not sure why I wasn’t as active as I had planned on being with this one. I may start this one up again, but for now, here’s the other [...]


Okkervil River – Golden Opportunities Mixtape

04 Do What You Gotta Do (Jimmy Webb)
05 I Can [...]


I saw Black Moth Super Rainbow, Blockhead, And Aesop Rock last week.
Things I learned:
1] Blockhead is a less-cool Girl Talk. The addition of DJ Skinhead was cool, but it kind of made the music sound sloppy.
2] People smoke marijuana when listening to Aesop Rock and Blockhead more than they do when listening to Black Moth [...]


 Lil Wayne – Da Drought Is Over 4
One of the more recent mixtapes by Lil Wayne, Da Drought Is Over 4, is up on datpiff. Looking through the crazy, hard-to-read comments about the mixtape, my favorite has to be this: “ask them hoes.” I’m not sure how it’s really relevant, but yeah, it’s full of [...]


Update

I’ve been busy moving. I’m finally all settled in and recently got my internet back. I’ll be posting again soon (probably tonight).

Menomena – Wet And Rusting
In the next couple months, you’ll be seeing a ton of top albums of 2007 lists. Well, this band’s 2007 album, Friend and Foe, which was released back in January, has been on the top of my list since it’s release and doesn’t seem to be moving from that spot. I [...]


My Mourning Jacket – It Beats For You (KCRW)
Guster – Two Of Us (KCRW)
Iron & Wine – Carousel
*** I&W’s new album is finally out in two days (25th) after being leaked many months ago. I haven’t listened to the whole thing yet (I don’t like listening to leaked albums all that much), but I [...]


We Are Wolves – Fight & Kiss
Found out about these guys on Montreal’s Dare To Care Records MySpace. They’re super sweet. I had heard of them before, but hadn’t really checked much of their stuff out until now. I like how they describe themselves on their myspace, so instead of trying to explain by [...]


Bangers & Cash – B-O-O-T-A-Y
Bangers & Cash – Loose (featuring Amanda Blank)
The second track from Spank Rock and Benny Blanco’s upcoming release, Bangers & Cash EP, was released a few days ago. I like it.
And the newest (and third) one was released today! It’s called Loose and features Amanda Blank. Seriously excited for this [...]
