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

Kings of Leon

Does anyone else think that the Kings of Leon are pretty much the modern day genesis?

Kings of Leon - Sex On Fire (Richard Sharkey & Peter Sar Remix)

GDP - Realistic Expectations (rough mixes)

So it is no surprise to anyone that knows me that I love this guy's music. I love it so much that I will be putting out his cd/dvd in a couple months... With that being said check out some of the new songs (these are not the finished versions but they are still amazing enough for you to hear).

Them Verse Us

Succumb (Hot Box Remix)

Mickey Avalon

This may be OFN, but I played the remix of My Dick last week and it went over well.

Mickey Avalon - My Dick (Dr. Girlfriend Trashy Vocal Remix)

Gwen Stefani

So I just found this interesting remix of Hollaback Girl and thought you may need to hear it too.

Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl (Algeronics Remix)

William Elliott Whitmore - Animals In The Dark

This guy reminds me of my friend Camille even though they look nothing alike. She is not so secretly in love with him (it is probably a secret to him though, but knowing her I doubt it). She and I do not always agree on music, but in this case I would say she is pretty spot on.

Check out Old Devils

Dex Romweber Duo - Ruins of Berlin

Dex Romweber played in Norfolk, VA at a small bar called 'The Blue Plate'. Dex and Crash ruled. He is now in a different duo, and the new album was one of the best rockabilly/country releases I have heard in awhile. If you like the genre and/or Johnny Cash then check it out.

The song Picture is probably my favorite, so I think you need to hear it.

POS - Never Better

POS is like Atmosphere's better big brother. People seem to love the packaging (which is really swell), but I think the best part of this album would have to be the lyrics.

I can't pick a favorite track off this album, so I will just go with the first one Let It Rattle
