Happy Wear-Green-And-Drink-Beer Day! (SotD)

March 15, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Don’t judge me. Ska is cool. Wait. Ska is KOOL. Yeah, that’s better. That’s more…anti-the-man. Spelling my words incorrectly and in all caps.
This is from Streetlight Manifesto’s new album of cover songs which includes Radiohead, Postal Service, and others. Out tomorrow.

Yeah, This Is All I Need…Another Great Album in 2010 To Obsess Over…(Song of the Day)
March 4, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Take a listen to the first track, “Scissor”, off of Liars’ new album:
Liars’ sports a unique brand of meltdown indie post-punk, mashed up with Tom Waits-ian (if that’s not too sacrilegious to boast) vocals and a smooth instrumental finish. I’ve enjoyed some of their old work before, but this new album excites like nothing they’ve done before. It’s coming next Tuesday, and if you can’t wait that long you can download the mp3s (legally) here.
