Nada Surf has a new album called “Lucky” out–and from the sounds of it it’s pretty rad. You can download a free track entitled “See These Bones” from their label Barsuk’s (Death Cab’s old label) site. Just right click the above link, and choose “Save As.”

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…
Matt Harding decided to quit his job and travel the world where he began shooting videos of himself doing a little dance in front of monuments. He started a website called “Where the Hell is Matt” and became famous thanks to his videos–so…
Noisetrade was an initiative started by Derek Webb. It’s slogan is “Faretrade music” and I believe that it was started in conjunction with Webb’s new album, “The Ringing Bell.”

I just recently began listening to Doves (not, the Doves, just “Doves”). Not as poppy as Snow Patrol (but similar enough to remind me of them), more melodic that The National (deeper voice), and they’ve got a slight Elvis Costello thing going on. Sometimes I want to snap my fingers with their music…then…
My friend Brooks introduced me awhile ago to Carlos Vives — a Columbian musician who has tried his hand at acting, and still has a knack for some of the most toolish photos I’ve ever seen on artists website (on par with Creed). Anyhow, in that mix was a song by a…
