Listen to Mew – No More Stories…

Mew is one of those bands that make your brain turn into one, giant, pile of musical note mush. They’re sort of on another level. The kind of level you get to by eating guitars raw.

Mew’s new album (slightly annoying, but they are forgiven), No More Stories Are Told Today I’m Sorry They Washed Away, has to be in the top three of the year for me. It’s…

Muse – The Resistance – Listen to Uprising

Muse, has arrived. Their new album has been gaining steam for awhile now, and I thought I’d share the few tracks that have been released.

First, the details. Muse, The Resistance, will arrive September 15. So far, from what I can tell – the lyrics are full of piss and vinegar towards the banks, and the general establishment. Very Muse. The tracking listing is as follows:

Mew’s New Album Due in June

Many of you have been waiting in eager anticipation for the new Mew album. Finally, the new Mew record is ready to go. It’s been recorded and produced, and in June it will be listened to en masse.

Hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark, Mew first broke onto the scene in 2003 with their album, Frengers which won the “Album of the Year” and “Band of the…

Some More Imogen Heap Remixes

I recently wrote about Twistival.fm – a music + twitter method for raising money. Imogen Heap handed out her tracks, and let anyone and everyone create some remixes — all you had to do is tweet about it and donate $5.00 through Twitter. Anyhow, here are those remixes…a lot of them just blow, but I really liked the @blkrblt remix:

And…Imogen just posted 12…

Mat Kearney – New Album, New Single

Matt Kearney has a new single out “Closer to Love” off his upcoming album “City of Black and White” which is due out May 19th. Damn is it good! Have a listen. Who else is just really, really excited for this album? Mat’s lyrics are inspiring…at times a bit cheesey; but, over all, inspiring. I dig the new track.

It actually won the USA Today Pick of the

Joe Satriani vs. Coldplay or Guitar vs. Piano

If I put these two into a vicious cock-fight cage, Chris Martin would clearly get his ass beat by Joe Satriani. There is no doubt in my mind he would be begging for Gwyneth. I mean look at that photo–Satriani could crush him just by standing there long enough. That being said, however, these Satriani and Coldplay aren’t in a fist fight…it’s much worse.

More Christmas! 25 Free Mp3′s

I just wrote a post called 11 Great Indie Music Tunes, and right on the heals of that a friend found a gold mine. A literal, gold mine. Amazon MP3 continues to amaze me. Thanks to Owen, I just saw Amazon’s 25 days of free Christmas music.

Neko Case – Middle Cyclone – Making of Video

Neko Case of The New Pornographers has a new album coming out this spring entitled “Middle Cyclone.” It’s slated to arrive on March 3, 2009. I’ve been meaning to write about the New Porno’s “Challengers” for awhile. Even though that album is old news for many of us, I know quite a few people who don’t know that disc. If you don’t know it, let me know and I’ll blog it. If you don’t own it, buy it from Amazon for $6.99 or but it here from my Amazon powered music store.

Amazon Mp3 Deals of the Weekend

Short and sweet.

Amazon is running “50 for $5″ – 50 albums, all of them $5.00. I’ve added a few of the albums I think would be worth the $5 in the store — including

New Aqualung – Words and Music – Listen

It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long since Aqualung’s latest album, “Memory Man” which you can hear a track from in my latest Aqualung post, or on the mixtape.

Aqualung’s new disc arrives on October 7, and is a compilation of new songs, old songs…
