Ready to Rock Out
Face Melt: Rodrigo y Gabriela
This video pretty much says it all. Once again, my face is a pile of goo, melted by these Latino classical guitaristas, Rodrigo y Gabriela. The last time I did this to a guitar, I broke 18 knuckles, ripped of 33 fingernails, and tore the strings straight in half.
Thanks to Steph for this suggestion.

Redesigning My Blog to Go Big Casino
Hello. Forgive me for not updating in a few days, my extra time has been taken up redesigning the blog. In the meantime, I thought I’d share with you what keeps me motivated. I have been listening to a lot of Explosions in the Sky and Amiina; but I thought I’d share this.
This is a really old side project of Jim…
Stars New Video – Bitches in Tokyo
You may already know that Stars is in my top three favorite bands. I love these guys. Every disc they put out just keeps getting better.
Last year they put out “Up In Our Bedroom After The War” which represented a slightly different sound for them. A sound, that I love. Well, one of my favorite songs off that disc, “Bitches in Tokyo” has just been…
Listen to Coldplay – Viva La Vida Full Album
For all you Coldplay haters, eat it. Their new disc, “Viva La Vida and Death to All His Friends” just released today. This album is really, really good. Heads and shoulders above X&Y. I’m honestly not a Coldplay…
Bloc Party – A Weekend In the City
For those of you who are like, “Bloc Party is so yesterday” you can eat it. I’m just now getting turned on to these guys, and really enjoying it. Their only song I had of theirs was “Hellicopter” — which I love — so I finally decided to go out and buy their most recent disc.

The Red Album (Guess Who…)
First, the Blue Album–which half changed my life.
Then, Pinkerton–which definitely changed my life.
Then, years later…the Green Album–which I liked…but no life changing.
Then, came Maladroit. Which kind of sucked.
Then, came Make Believe–which I’m pretty sure sucked bad.
Now, they bring you the Red Album–which, from the reviews so far, sucks pretty bad.
In case you haven’t figured this out…
Listen to Coldplay – Violet Hill | The New Single
So, awhile ago I blogged about the upcoming Coldplay disc, which I am excited about. They’ve just given us a sneak peak into their new album with the single, Violet Hill.
It starts out with some calm intro space keyboard…
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…
Mew – Frengers – Snow Brigade
No way. How did I miss these guys?! I’m way late in the game; but I love it.
My coworker Steph just told me about a band that I’m absolutely stoked about: Mew. These guys are from Denmark and rock it. So, there music wasn’t released in the US until much later; but the CD I just purchased (not on iTunes) is…
