Neko Case - Middle Cyclone

I would marry Neko Case for her voice alone (her song writing abilities may help a little too). This album is just the next step in the progression of goodness that she started over ten years ago. I really can't say much without sounding like a total fanboy, but this album is genius and will be on my essential of 09 list for sure.

People Got A Lotta Nerve is fantastic

Beep Beep - Enchanted Islands

Gone are the frantic vocals and songs that remind me of Black Eyes. It is much slower and more melodic than the first album which at first really threw me off. Now after a handful of listens I believe I get it. This is not the album I will be working out to, but I can definitely listen to this album the next time I am feeling slightly intellectual and want to stimulate my cerebral cortex.

Goodbye Sunshine reminds me of the last !!! album with a Brainiac like vocal thing (it rules)

RIP VMS Records

I put about 6 years of my life into doing this small label and I still stand by the releases I put out back then.

Check out

Something About Vampires and Sluts - Can't Be Wrong

The Vote - Overpass

The Gadjits - Waffle House is not a Home

The Shakedowns - I Just Met My Match

Brett from The Riot Before covering Lucero

Ok so this has been online for awhile now and I just found it the other day. Check it out.

Say Hi - Oohs & Aahs

Say Hi (formerly Say Hi To Your Mom) changed their name on their last album and it really bummed me out. The music has stayed consistent throughout, but the old name was just much more fun. This album should be a favorite for anyone that is into the Postal Service or other such indie pop. Go see Eric and crew on tour!

Dramatic Irony is the quintessential Say Hi song

New Found Glory - Not Without A Fight

I really wanted to hate this album, but it was too damned catchy.

Listen To Your Friends is exactly what you would expect from NFG.

Songs that remind me of being younger

Nofx - Soul Doubt

Jawbreaker - Bad Scene, Everyone's Fault

Sunny Day Real Estate - 47

Smoking Popes - Need You Around

Gorilla Biscuits - No Reason Why

Crucial

The idea of this blog was to make new music accessible to everyone. To make it easy for you to find out about new bands and/or to just see what else is out there. To make up for the lack of posts here are a handful of songs for you.


DJ Milenko - The Satisfied Way I Push It (thanks to whitefolksgetcrunk.com )

Electrofish - Sweet Child of Mine (gnr cover)

Sportsday Megaphone - Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't Have) (buzzcocks cover)

Dj Doc Rock vs the Temptations - Smiling Faces

Lykke Li / Drake - A Little Bit

Meterhead - Newness

Victims - Killer

Straight-forward angry d beat. It is great that bands still play this stuff. 16 songs 24 minutes long. The album is like my reviews as short as possible and with as much substance as you can fit in.

No Reason is one of the longer (and better) songs on the album. Check it out.

Cursive - Mama, I'm Swollen

There is no doubt that Tim Kasher is a great songwriter. Cursive's "Ugly Organ" and The Good Life's "Album of the Year" are two of my favorite indie albums EVER. With that being said this album just doesn't reach my expectations. I am not saying this is a turd, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but the fans.

Caveman is probably my favorite track on this, BUT I would strongly suggest starting with something like A Gentleman Caller or Album of the Year
