Songs that remind me of being younger 2

As per the title here is a batch of songs that remind me of being quite a bit younger than I currently am.







Go Sailor - Ray of Sunshine

Archers of Loaf - Wrong

Diesel Boy - Lime Green

Far - I Like It

The Blue Meanies - Smother Me

On The Might Of Princes - 13 Cheers for Beer and Bullshit

The Thermals - Now We Can See

I was worried when I first heard that The Thermals were no longer on Subpop. I wasn't worried because I thought they would make anything less than a spectacular album, but more because any change could possibly mean a new direction. Luckily enough for me this is DEFINITELY a Thermals album. That isn't saying that they are just remaking the same album over and over again, but it is just saying that it lives up to and exceeds the expectations set for it.

The track I Let It Go is very uplifting

Earth Crisis - To The Death

I am not sure exactly what to think about Earth Crisis getting back together. I have listened to the new tracks a handful of times now and although the songs aren't bad they will never write another Firestorm. I would go see them again, but I do not think I can endorse this album fully. It is middle of the road at best, but I would listen to it over all the newer hatebreed'esqe stuff out there.

Something about Security Threat #1 reminds me of Pantera

Art Brut - Vs Satan

For some reason or another I really enjoyed the last Art Brut album. It was catchy, witty, and rather enjoyable. The same can not be said for this release. I was hoping for something I could tell you to rush out and buy when it comes out next month, but save your money and go see fischerspooner on tour instead.

Never listen to The Replacements

The Riot Before - We Are Wild Stallions

The Riot Before - "We Are Wild Stallions!" from Dave O'Dell on Vimeo.

Things that I am looking forward to

Songs from albums that really should be out now, but I am waiting semi patiently for them to drop.




Fischerspooner - Supply and Demand

The Thermals - When We Were Alive

Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks

Kid Sister - Get Fresh

Rye Rye - Bang (feat MIA)

Royksopp - Miss it So Much (feat Lykke Li)

More reviews coming soon

SXSW sampler

I am not a fan of torrents in general and I buy everything when it comes to music, but this sampler is only available through torrents and it is 6gb of mostly good music. Thanks to the lovely people over at some unofficial SXSW site I can offer you these torrent files for your collection.

Scott Reynolds

Scott Reynolds put out an amazing solo cd last year that everyone seemingly slept on. I can be included in the everyone that I was referencing, but now that I have it I have no clue what I was thinking. Scott is most known for his work with All, but what people missed over the years were his other two great bands Goodbye Harry and the Pavers. His music is essential and you really should own it all.

Check out

Scott Reynolds - None of This is Funny

The Pavers - Mr. Shepherd's Bandage

Goodbye Harry - They

Fantastical (attempt 3)
