Jimmy Eat World’s Story & New Release

Jimmy is coming out with a new disc. It’s a deluxe edition of their previous release, “Bleed American.”

It’s a pretty cool story that brought forth Bleed American. Their previous disc, “Clarity” — which is my favorite album ever — had gotten them dropped from their record label, Capital Records. Rather than hanging it up, they bought up their remaining CD’s from their old label and then went…

My friend told me about these guys the other day, and I’m on board. I can’t speak for the whole album; but I can…

Radio 4 – Quit Hiding Rules

At first, I wasn’t sure if I could dig this song because of the first five seconds of the song. Normally, guys with this style voices aren’t my thing. A bit too indie. Although, I will say his voice does sound a bit like Spoon and I dig Spoon.

But, I’m thinking this song rules. Anyone ever heard these guys? It’s a really cool mix between some…

Built to Spill – Else

I’ve tried getting into their newer stuff, and while it’s not bad, I just can’t love it yet. I think it’s growing on me; but I had first heard their newest single and still don’t like it. The other parts of that disc (You In Reverse), I think I’m digging. Songs like “Goin’ Against Your Mind.”

However, while listening to my…

Weather Matching Music – Stars

Today was a gorgeous day in DC. If I could’ve had a theme song that matched the feeling this weather gives you, it would probably be Stars’ Bitches in Tokyo.

This is off my favorite CD of 2007, Up In Our Bedroom After the War.

Have a listen:

Madeleine Peyroux

She’s been around for awhile; but it seems not many of my friends have heard Madeline Peyroux. Her 2004 disc (which is my favorite) entitled Careless Love is what got me hooked on her. Her newer disc, entitled Half the Perfect World, is also a really solid option.

She’s not the type of music you listen to everyday; but every…

I Hate James Blunt

Twice I’ve walked into the grocery store recently.
Twice I’ve heard James Blunt.
Twice I’ve beat the store manager…

Face Melt

So, I’m starting a new series…with absolutely no promises on how often I’ll update it. It’s called “Face Melt” and it will just be my guilty pleasure of ridiculous guitar players who may or may not grace my iPod; but are certainly worth the “holy balls” factor.

To start it off: Eric Mongrain (thanks to Chris for this one)…

Radiohead’s New Idea

I love In Rainbows. I think it’s an amazing album…and I love what they did with it. For those of you who don’t know, they decided to allow us listeners to download it form their website, DRM free, for whatever price we wanted. Anywhere from free to trillions of dollars.

It got a lot of buzz, and it deserved it–both for the idea and how solid the disc was.

Their…

Blog Unbroken

My old blog broke. I’ve been unable to publish to my old blog for awhile now. So, I hope you’re getting this in your reader. We shall see. Anyhow, I’ve uploaded and redesigned my blog into Wordpress 2.5. The redesign took awhile, as I’m learning as I go. Thanks to Doug for his help. Anyhow, I’ve been staying up way too late to finish this, and I’m happy it’s…
