Skrillex

Okay, so dub step is usually more hilarious than music, but I dare you to try getting the melody from this one out of your head:



Also, a sweet Gaga remix by the same:

Up to Something Again

Hot Water Music is back after like a decade off from writing new music! Get excited:

Oh Hey

Ratatat Remix!

The Shout Out Louds - The Comeback (Ratatat Remix)

I'm With You

Who doesn't love new Chili Peppers?? Most of the album is just okay (by their lofty standards). If Rob reviewed it, he would say there were lots of Lines but not many Hooks or Sinkers. But some songs definitely completely rock, and this is one of them:

Weezer and Muppets

Get this album, that is all

Album: Muppets: The Green Album

You can listen to the whole album here:
http://www.npr.org/2011/08/14/138984517/first-listen-muppets-the-green-album

There isn't a video for Weezer's cover "Rainbow Connection" so instead I'll put up Weezer's "Keep Fishing", the last time they played with the Muppets.

Med School...

Obviously I have to have my priorities and this blog is not high on the list. That said music is still important to me so I will try to make an effort to post once a week instead of 5. We'll see how it goes...

On to the Music...

One of my favorite things in life is this little quote following any artist "(feat. Ratatat)"

Artist: CSS
Album: La Liberacion

Hook: Hits me like a rock
Line: City Grrrl
Sinker: Red Alert (feat. Ratatat) (had to use this video, it was taken at the Glass House!)

New Blink!!

Cool mix of old and new. Check it out:

H.A.M.

This particular song is a little harder than I am into, but I'll be surprised if this album is anything less than awesome:

Alkaline Trio Unplugged?

This album is awesome, all of their hits with a new take!

Hook, Line and Sinker: All of it

Sorry For The MIA

Here is a quick one to get back into the flow of things.

AM is back!!!

Their first song free of their major label obligation happens to rock. Enjoy!!

Ratatatish...

Artist: Little People
Albums: (multiple)



Hook: Gravitas

Country music from the lead of Tiger Army (he's in AFI too). It's kind of fun in that Neko Case alt country way. Sweet pedal guitar too!



Artist: Nick 13

Hook: Nighttime Sky
Line: All Alone (I want to get drunk and sing along to this)
Sinker: Nashville Winter

Quick One

Thanks to VB for this.

Jimmy Eat World

I feel obligated to post this after going to the concert last week. So, I hate to say this, but it may have been the worst concert I have ever been to. I say this for not the normal reasons... Did they play their singles? Yes. Did they sound good? Yes.

Normally this would mean a pretty rockin' concert, but Jimmy played a few mean tricks on me.

1. They made me well aware they are in their 16th year as a band and were frankly kind of bored. I never want to go to a concert and realize that this is just 4 dudes job even though I know its true. I am paying you to put up a facade of enthusiasm and love of your music and tell me that this is the best audience on this tour yet. Or even better, actually like what you are doing.

2. The set list SUCKED! You are supposed to play a bunch of fun fast songs and then let us up for air with a slow emo one, not play 4 slow emo ones in a row. I wanted to go to sleep half way through the show.

Well on to the music, their "new" album is standard Jimmy fair. Some clasics and some where they explore a little. The one that stood out for me in the show and on the album is Action Needs An Audience where their lead guitarist is actually singing the vocals. I hope Jimmy finds their way again because it is going to take a lot of convincing to go to another show.



Artist: Jimmy Eat World
Album: Invented

Hook: Action Needs An Audience
Line: Coffee And Cigarettes (decent live version, also check out the bangs)
Sinker: My Best Theory

Do you like Sleigh Bells?

Then you will like The Cults. Same general concept, but Cults are Sunday's hazy hangover to Bells' all-night rager.

Music to Read By

New Danger Mouse (feat. Norah Jones/Jack White) is awesome reading music.

Check it out:

Working For a Nuclear Free City

Stumbled upon this catchy album from 2007, two disks with a ton of diversity. From the mellow instrumental ballads, to the 1:37 long "Get a fucking haircut", to the cali-pop "Sarah Dreams of Summer".

Artist: Working For a Nuclear Free City
Album: Buisnessmen & Ghosts



Hook: Je suis le Vent
Line: Asleep at the Wheel
Sinker: Sarah Dreams of Summer

Ronald Jenkees

I know right... who?

Artist: Ronald Jenkees
Album: Disorganized Fun

Hook: Stay Crunchy (just the song, not the live version posted below)
Line: Throwing Fire
Sinker: Disorganized Fun

One Song Two Versions

Interesting to see how different a song can feel...

Early version of "You Only Live Once" was called "I'll Try Anything Once"

Step 1: Get This Album

Step 2: Dance to it in your car with the windows down all summer.

Empire of the Sun

Artist: Empire of the Sun
Album: Walking On a Dream

Hook: Walking On a Dream
Line: We Are the People
Sinker: Standing On the Shore

Thieves

I wanted this whole album to be good so badly. "Queen of Hearts" meets all the requirements of a female lead, angsty, belting pop-punk song. I just wish there was more of it.

(sorry about the crappy video, there is just nothing out there) Preview it on amazon or iTunes.

Artist: Company of Thieves
Album: Running from a Gamble

Hook: Queen of Hearts
Line: Modern Waste
Sinker: Death of Communication

10 Days 'Till SF...

This is going to be the theme song for the trip...
(the rest of the album is amazing as well)

Sunny Day In Boston...

Here is a fun band to head into the weekend with...

Artist: Bombay Bicycle Club
Album: The Boy I Used To Be - EP

Hook: Open House
Line: Always Like This
Sinker: Ivy & Gold

Ravishers

Artist: Ravishers
Album: Ravishers

Only one good one off this album: Keep you Around

Standoff

Harkens back to high school..

Artist: This Is A Standoff
Album: Be Disappointed

Hook: Go With Me
Line: Trails of White
Sinker: Can't Take Them All

New Sublime! Sort Of.

Sublime w/ Rome posted their first new song as a group! And it sounds good, but, well, because the hook is exactly like "Lay Me Down" by Rome/Dirty Heads. We will see if they can do a whole album.

It Takes Two

Listens, that is, to sort out this song, but once you do, you realize it rocks.

Silent Disco

Roommate went to this cool thing last weekend called Silent Disco, a dance party where they hand you headphones on the way in; there are no speakers in the room. So everyone looks like they are grooving to nothing...until you throw the headphones on. Awesome concept. No, the story is not related to the posted song.

B Boys

Yeah, everyone is talking about it. So why not post it, I mean it is solid and it is noise. Normally I like it when artists don't stray too far from their normal equation (see Alkaline Trio, Jimmy Eat World, etc.). However, I feel like this album is a bit of a departure then they previous efforts and it works, really well, case and point their colab with Santigold

Artist: Beastie Boys
Album: Hot Sauce Committee Part Two

Hook: Dont Play No Game That I Cant Win
Line: Lee Majors Come Again
Sinker: Make Some Noise

Red Wire Black Wire

Not much to say about this one other than good evening driving music (and from 2008).

Artist: Red Wire Black Water
Album: Compass EP

Hook: Locked Out
Line: I Agree
Sinker: Compass

Sleigh Bells

A good one to crank it up to 11...

I usually don't like the postings on youtube, but this one rings true (see what I did there). In reference to "Kids":

"I have 2 12 inch Kicker subs in my car and a 1500 Watt amp......THIS SONG BANGS LIKE HELL"

Artist: Sleigh Bells
Album: Treats

Hook: Kids
Line: A/B Machines
Sinker: Riot Rhythm



Nod to EB for this one.

CTE

I know it's popular, but just had to make sure you had this one. Plus it's good to chronicle what I'm liking regardless of "radio play rating" (see: avril). Besides the whole album rocks.

Artist: Cage the Elephant
Album: Thank You Happy Birthday

Hook: Shake Me Down
Line: Aberdeen
Sinker: Rught Before Your Eyes (listen to this one for sure)

Low-fi Love

Rob's back!!

Listen to this through twice and you will never get the main riff out of your head:

Ashamed To Post This

Alex, you can burn me at the stake for this one. Yes, it's Ben Folds. Yes, it's a cappella. But whatever it's awesome. I was drawing a blank for my post today and this came on shuffle (yeah, I have been hiding it). You just kind of have to stop and listen to it, especially when the girl cuts in at 2:52.

Artist: Ben Folds (University of Chicago Cover)
Song: Magic

The Blow

Here are some typical "is Rob straight?" tracks... take it or leave it, I like them.

Artist: The Blow
Album: Paper Television

Hook: Parentheses (ignore the video)
Sinker: Fists Up

It Has Been A While

Sorry, my work computer was down. For some reason I only like blogging from it. I guess I'll have to get over that habit eventually. Anyway, I think this is one of the best songs I have heard in a while... It's off of the Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World soundtrack. While watching the movie, one of the bands plays this and I thought it sounded a lot like Metric. Sure enough is it Canadian Emily Haines belting out those OOooooOOOooooos.

Metric - Black Sheep

Dear Rosemary

Sweet new track from the Foos. Rosemary is a perfect "rock song girl" name because nobody actually knows one; your song can never be to anyone specific! Must be awkward playing the drums in a suit...

I think I am a little late to this party, but whatever...

Bad Religion on Kimmel

One awesome new and one awesome old song from Kimmel last week; check them out!! P.S. Mr. Brett showed up to play!

Some Synchronized Sauna Swimming...

...and a sweet beat to get you up Monday morning:

WTF, UMG

Why does Universal Music Group keep removing YouTube videos. Don't they realize that YouTube is the #1 way people hear new music now? No wonder all of these big companies are going under.

More Lupe

I know some Fiasco was posted a while ago, but I think this song is too good not to mention. Pretty rad that Lupe sampled Modest Mouse - Float On for this song...

Artist: Lupe Fiasco
Album: Lasers
Song: The Show Goes On

Magic Wands

A little Wednesday diddy...

Artist: Magic Wands
Song: Black Magic

Oldies/Goodies

So I haven't been listening to as much new music because my mom gifted me a couple of her old records. The gem of the two was the Beatles hits from 67-70; I had no idea all these awesome songs were written in 3 years. Below is one of my favorites I wasn't familiar with previously. A music snob may think, Alex, how could you not know every song on that album, and then laugh at me. But like the fool on the hill, I will laugh back, because I still get to hear them all with new ears.

Here is another favorite from one of the ones she gave me. This is one of those songs that somehow only has the same effect on an old record, with all the pops and crackles:

This song pissed me off twice

First it made me mad that I liked it and that I was forced to post it. Which then meant that you would make fun of me.

THEN, I go and look for a video of it and see that iPod used it in a commercial FML.

Whatever, listen and like it.

Right Side of the Bed

Pleasantly uplifting for this band. Check it out:

Solid Noise

After a while with the new RA album, I think the blog title says it all; a really solid album. It got a lot of bad reviews, but I think it is great because there are a lot fewer singles and the songs sit with you longer in my opinion.

Does Danger Mouse Sleep???

Laugh Now, Laugh Later

Woo-Hoo, new Face to Face after almost a decade!

Okay, so there's nothing actually new about the new song, but why mess around? Check the link after the picture to listen.

Something To Die For

So The Sounds totally upstaged The Strokes in terms of March new record releases. The Sounds once again did what they rock at, making fun synth pop music with a pounding female lead. Shame on your Julian Casablancas for straying...

Artist: The Sounds
Album: Something To Die For

Hook: The Best of Me
Line: Yeah Yeah Yeah
Sinker: Better Off Dead

Snowing In Boston (in late March)

Looking at my old iPod it turns out I had a few of these guy's songs, but it wasn't until I downloaded their discography that I really came to appreciate them. Awesome for this weather.

Artist: Pinback

Hook: Loro
Line: Fortress
Sinker: Bouquet

Strokes - Angles

So I got a leaked copy of the album a few days ago and bought the real thing today (I try to support artists I like) and while I wanted this post to be full of ALL CAPS and tons of exclamation points!!!! It is sadly not. Hoping the album in its entirety would grow on me, I listened to it straight through a half dozen times. Bottom line, Angles is true to its name with some being awesome and obtuse while many are a little acute.

Artist: The Strokes
Album: Angles

Hook: Gratisfaction

Sinker: Taken For A Fool

Honey Claws

"Middle Brother" by Middle Brother on Middle Brother

Let's Go Play

Lots of these bands popping up...trend!

Imma Let It Shine

Love the OG version, but never got around to posting it. Remix is mostly awesome; the end kind of tapers off. Definitely worth a listen though:

INF

Feels a little like RJD2

Artist: INF
Album: The Go Around

Hook: Power Moves Baby
Line: Bangin' On Porcelain
Sinker: Band On the Run

Some songs are better because the Singer is a Babe...

...this is one of them:

Both are Good

OG:



Acoustic (sorry about the video, it is what I could find!):

Super pop, but...

...I like the chick's part:

Not new, but...

...just caught it on a snowboard movie soundtrack. Thank you SoundHound (like Shazam, but you can whistle and sing into it!)

Funky Fire

My Computer Broke =/

At least this whole album is awesome:

I'm Sorry

I kind of have to post this. I mean it's Avril and today is release of her new album.

**The product placement in the video makes me want to puke.**

Just Two

...that's how many tracks you get on this album (it's called a single, but with two songs, weird).

Artist: Mister Heavenly
Album: Mister Heavenly - Single

Hook: Mister Heavenly

STARFUCKER

I mean, how CAN'T that be the post title...

Finally, a Good One from TB

I got really excited about Travis Barker's album, but all the songs he posted were kind of lame. This one, though, is pretty good. It features the Transplants (remember that Fructis commercial?) and Slash. Check it out below:

And now for something a little different...

Post Titles are a Pain

SUPPORT!!!

Breathes awesome new life into "float on!!!"

Heading into the Wknd

So my favorite band of 2010 was by far Two Door Cinema Club. I was checking up on them and found this pretty great remix album. That all said I want the sophomore effort already. Hopefully next week will offer up some better music. Maybe some support from Burrito.

Artist: Two Door Cinema Club
Album: Tourist History Remix

A Sad Wednesday

Listened to 20 new releases yesterday and not one was worthy of listing three tracks. Not one even had an awesome single that I felt like posting. Here is an old one to help me get through this week.

Artist: Middle Class Rut
Song: New Low

NEW STROKES SINGLE (kinda forgot to post this last week...)

Artist: The Strokes
Album: Under Cover of Darkness

Song: Under Cover of Darkness

Nice to meet you, Minnesota

The new Atmosphere song sounds more like West-Coast early 90's than Atmosphere, but I'm not complaining.

Not the Department of Medicine

I got turned on to DOM last December so when they released their EP on Tuesday it sounded oddly familiar. Catchy easy to listen to stuff, I'm excited to see what they do for their sophomore effort.

Artist: DOM
Album: Sun Bronzed Greek Gods

Hook: Burn Bridges
Line: Living in America
Sinker: Rude as Jude

Oh hey, High School (in a good way)

Remember high school when every time you turned the corner there would be a good new melodic-skatepunk band on Epitaph? Well, that hasn't happened for a long time...until Heartsounds! See below for a song from their first album. They are currently working on their second, produced by none other than Mr. Brett Religion...Win!

Some Blades dig Other Blades

New Rise Against!

They kind of tried combining "Savior" with every song from "Siren Song" for this one; while it doesn't win any awards, it certainly isn't losing, either.

Birght Eyes

New album dropped today, about 50% of it is good...

Artist: Bright Eyes
Album: The People's Key

Hook: Jejune Stars
Line: Triple Spiral
Sinker: One for you, One for me

My Roommate Likes Cool Music

Happy Valentines Day!

So happy to be done with solo-posting on this blog, took you long enough to get your internet up and running.

Guess I kind of have to post some singer/songwriter today. So here is some good music to put on while sitting on a couch in front of a fireplace (or something rugged/romantic like that...). Early Dylan ish, but enough unique touches to make him interesting.

Nod to CMS for this one.

Artist: The Tallest Man On Earth

Hook: The Drying Of The Lawns
Line: The Sparrow And The Medicine
Sinker: The Dreamer

New DKM

WAY more poppy, don't know how I feel about that...we will see how the rest of the album shapes up. Vocals sound really different also; like Larry Arms kind of.

LINK

Grammy Winners!

In honor of their album of the year award. My attention span is keeping me from regarding this album as highly as everyone else, but I think the title track is awesome:

Everything is better with Snoop

You know what it is. The remix.

INTERNET AGAIN!!! FUCK YEAH

You know you missed me.

To make up for the last two days... Singles to go into the weeked

Some Alt, some Indy, some Hip-Hop

Artist: Oh Land
Album: Oh Land - EP
Song: White Nights



Artist: Ra Ra Riot
Album: Boy - EP
Song: Boy



Artist: Slim Thug
Album: Already Platinum
Song: Like A Boss

Single Number 2

Artist: Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse
Song: Little Girl

Week of Singles: 1

Tired from a weekend of cold hiking, I'm too lazy to look for new.. or more accurately... new music that has more than just one or two good songs. So I am going to dip into my queue of singles and just blog one a day. Hopefully you'll get internet soon Alex and rejuvenate my lackluster blogging.

Artist: Wild Nothing
Album: Gemini
Song: Chinatown

Ray LaMontagne

Haven't posted any alt-country stuff lately, and while I am impartial to female singers (see Neko Case) this guy has the same unimpeded voice. As as a little icing there is some sweet pedal guitar in his latest album, specifically "New York City's Killing Me".

Artist: Ray LaMontagne

Hook: New York City's Killing Me
Line: Trouble
Sinker: For The Summer

Dragonette

Along the lines of Metric, The Sounds, Early No Doubt...

Kind of have to wade through a lot of iffy tracks, but the good ones have rocking synth and sweet lead female.

Artist: Dragonette
Album: Galore and Fixin To Thrill

Hook: Pick Up The Phone
Line: I Get Around
Sinker: True Believer

Boston = Pond

So here is a band from across the pond...

Artist: Johnny Foreigner
Album: Waited Up 'Til It Was Light

Hook: Eyes Wide Terrified
Line: Salt, Peppa and Spinderella
Sinker: Suicide Pact Yeh

Snow Day (At Work)

The worst (or one of the) part(s) of working for a cancer institute is their "commitment to their patients". Which means every morning that there is a snow storm you get a nice email from the president of the hospital saying, "You are an essential employee and as part of your commitment to patients you are required to come into work". While I don't mind coming into work, it is the fact that they remind us that we HAVE to every time it snows. I want an email that says, "HEY!!!! Thanks for being awesome and coming in on this snow day. At lunch the cafeteria will have free hot chocolate for all the employees". That would be a much better email...

Tuesday means new albums, here is a four-star-er. Kind of airy, kind of like a lot of other bands (see: interpol), kind of not bad.

Artist: Young The Giant
Album: Young The Giant

Hook: I Got
Line: My Body
Sinker: Strings

New(ish)

Getting off of my rap kick, I thought some Alkaline Trio would be appropriate to head into the weekend. Sure these are their 2008 and 2010 albums, and sure they sound the same as their first album in 1998, buts that's what we like about this Illinois band.

I love the rif in "Kick Rocks" but the middle gets a little washed out with the chorus.

Artist: Alkaline Trio
Album(s): This Addiction and Agony And Irony

Hook: Kick Rocks
Line: Calling All Skeletons
Sinker: I Found A Way (give this one a chance to get going)

Going To Space

It's starting to look like a week of rap and hip-hop posts for me, I guess my music chi is rebounding from all the girl pop I subjected you to last week.

Not sure what to call this album, a mix tape/compilation/experiment. The tracks are as varied as the artists in them; from E-40 to George Clinton or Method Man to Lykke Li. You name it, it's probably in there.

Artist: N.A.S.A
Album: Spirit

Hook: N.A.S.A Music
Line: Gifted
Sinker: Samba Soul

If MGMT & Gorillaz made babies...

...you'd get this real chill sound:

Tech N9ne

Tech N9ne was kind enough to drop a new album/mixtape yesterday to help us get through the week. The new album isn't quite as hard as his old stuff, but still supports my assertion that he is one of the best rappers out there right now.

Artist: Tech N9ne
Album: Various

Hook: Dysfunctional (Sickology 101)
Line: All Day All Night (Bad Season) *New Album
Sinker: Losin My Mind (Bad Season)

Follow Up

Today Bad Raiders released their first full length LP!!! I know I posted a single of theirs earlier, but this album kicks ass.

Artist: Bag Raiders
Album: Bag Raiders

Hook: Shooting Stars (already posted this one)

One For The Weekend

I'm a little hungover... this song is old but perfect for Sunday morning errands; mellow with a little Del to get you going.

Artist: Amp Live
Album: RAINYDAYZ REMIXES

The French Kings

While looking through the blog archives I stumbled upon a comment made back in September. It was from Martin Bonventre... he was the Ratatat keyboard player that I thought was so awesome, it was a quick note to inform me of his new project. Thinking this was spam, I was warry of following the link. Finally after doing my own research and ending up at the link through my own route I accepted it was legit. The result was a free album of some pretty solid stuff. You can definitely feel the influence of touring with Ratatat (couldn't figure out if in fact it was either Mike or Evan shredding). It also has elements of Mars Volta, but without the 11 minute long songs and 8 minute breakdowns. Enjoy (link for the album is at the bottom)

(PS Sorry about the crappy youtube quality, I am still new to putting music on youtube, DL the album)

December in January

While like some of their earlier stuff (maybe 4 stars in iTunes), I'm excited to report there are a few 5 stars on this new album. I think they are finally mainstreaming a little, which is not a bad thing. Sure they may lose a little bit of their hipster cred, but it works.

Artist: The Decemberists
Album: The King Is Dead

Hook: Down By The Water

Ratatat Recap

Looking back I noticed that I only posted on LP3 and Remixes. I wont go back to pre LP3 stuff, but a lot has happened since. I know these are probably familiar by now, but I'm throwing them up to make sure they haven't been missed. The LP4 songs are a little less accessible than LP3, but listen to it a few times and it's so much better. The two songs I listed aren't the singles, but have amazing crescendos and are the ones I come back to when I listed to it.

Artist: Ratatat
Album: LP4 and Collaborations

Hook: Sunblocks (1:19 in...)
Line: Grape Juice City

Sinker: Homecoming (off "Hold on Tight")

Props to Tyler

One day I came across a CD at the record store that had Tyler Parkford's name on it...yeah, the Tyler from High School! Fun Fact: his band features the 'Queens of the Stoneage' bassist. Check out this sweet song from Mini Mansions' debut album:

Amazing

This song is sweet; my roommate likes it, and it is easy to see why. Watch the video! Even if the song sucked, it would be worth it just to see Ronald McDonald walking out of In N Out 2/3 of the way through it; check it out for sure. Finally, gotta love the girl's tat with the CA outline and the Bear...it is in you whether you like it or not, Rob. Happy Friday!

Friday is for singles

Here are two from one of my favorite bands The Action Desgin. Both are singles off of their own albums. Hopefully this is indicative of a full length LP soon...

Some Bass From The Ammo Box

I'm kinda fried and am too lazy to find something super fresh and I don't think I have posted this before. Its kinda a shot out to Webb dance techno days. Its pretty good stuff to work out. The Swedish versions are always better. The songs suck when they are in English.
