4th of July celebration

I haven't posted in awhile because I've been on the road and I've been finishing up school stuff. I'm leaving again Friday, but here's some songs I've been listening to!

Rilo Kiley - Moneymaker
Interpol - No I in Threesome
mc chris - fallyn
Paul McCartney - Dance Tonight
Muscles - Ice
The Rentals - Little Bit of You in Everything
Belaire - Madison
Zibra Zibra - Cat and Mouse

yeah buddy

sorry for not updating lately. I'm going to be leaving for tour on Saturday, soooooooooo I probably won't be updating then either. Maybe, I don't know. I'll be gone for a little over a week so yeah. I'll be back sometime soon, in the meantime...

-Kanye West "Stronger" is really great.

-The new Transformers theme sounds like Linkin Park did it, but it's actually some band called Mute Math, it's sooooo god awful

-The new White Stripes leaked. If you listen to the first 2 tracks you would think it was going to be a great album, but actually the rest of the album is absolutely terrible!

-Belaire has some new tunes posted on their myspace. I'll post them eventually.

Planet of Suck

The new Minus The Bear album leaked the other day. It continues their journey into being absolutely terrible. Seriously. My friend Jordan argued with me yesterday telling me how Highly Refined Pirates was terrible and how their newer stuff is great. Whaaaaaaat? He likes The Hold Steady and Dan Deacon though. So he obviously has no idea what he's talking about.

The Vanilla Beans

So I'm in The Vanilla Beans, but I don't write any of the songs or play anything on them currently, so I figured it would be not a douche move at all to post about it. My roommate Andy is the master brain of it and I really dig it. Yeah baby. He recently did a song with our pal Jessica Hutson that I really enjoy.

So yeah, head over to myspace and check em out. "Really Really" is the song with J. Hutson and "Hugs" is my favorite non J. Hutson collabo. I couldn't get copy link location thing to work and I didn't want to upload them somewhere else and yeeeeah. That's why I didn't post direct links.

new Tegan and Sara

So wow. I never really listened to Tegan and Sara much. I heard "Walking With A Ghost" and some remixes and covers of it and was into that, but never took the time to listen to much else. Their new album The Con leaked so I decided to give it a listen and it's pretty much great. I've been listening to it all day yesterday and all this morning. I haven't even listened to "The Ping Pong Song" for a day because of it. That's saying something. Here are some sweet jams from Tegan and Sara.

Tegan and Sara - Hop A Plane
Tegan and Sara - Back In Your Head

more Muscles

Shit son, I've been slacking. Here are two more Muscles songs.

Muscles - One Inch Badge Pin
Muscles - We Can Use Magic

new Belaire

Belaire has a new album coming out in July called Exploding, Impacting. This is a sweet jam from it. It used to be called RIP, but now it's not. Yeah!

Belaire - Don't Delay, Participate!

Muscles

I stumbled across Muscles yesterday. I had never heard of Muscles, but I guess he's a big deal. Maybe not a huge deal, but he's a deal of some sort. It's electro music, but it's not shitty. I don't really know how to explain it. I really like his voice as well. He's played some shows with Architecture In Helsinki recently if that helps at all. Yeeep.

Muscles - Ice Cream
Muscles - Chocolate Raspberry Lemon and Lime

new R Kelly

R Kelly's new album Double Up leaked and I'm disappointed. With titles like Sex Planet, Havin' a Baby, and Freaky in the Club, I was really hoping for some good times, but not so much. Sex Planet is a slow jam, so that let me down. I thought there was no way Havin' a Baby could not be hilarious, but it's about being happy about having a baby instead of Ooooooh shit she's having a baby. I did find one song I really enjoy though and that's Rock Star featuring the talents of Ludacris and Kid Rock. Kid Rock! Kid Rock doesn't do enough in this song I think, but oh well. He doesn't even get his own verse. Luda's line about poking a girl to death is gold though.

I apologize for not using a bunch of quotes around song titles. That would have been a lot of quotes.
