Doves - New Album This Summer
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…
Bacilo - Baxter, You Know I Don’t Speak Spanish
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…
Imogen Heap’s New Album via her Video Blog
I have loved her music, and I love her. My wife and I saw her at the 9:30 club, and not only was the music great — she was absolutely hilarious. She was possible the most endearing person I’ve ever seen — and the lady wife agreed.
Well…
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…

Listen To Coldplay Viva La Vida - Full Album
I Heart Music has Coldplay’s entire new album streaming–the entire thing. Big thanks to Jer for the heads up. I really like it.
My Web Host Literally Blew Up
Wow.
I’ve had some crappy luck with web hosts. I just recently ditched Dreamhost because of how often my site would go down. I switched to Webfaction. Anyhow, those poor dudes at Webfaction had something explode recently, and my site was down for the entire weekend. It literally set fire and blew up…
Coldplay Viva la Vida and Lost - Fantistico!
Viva La Vida:
[audio:vivalavida.mp3]
So, the aforementioned iTunes commercial inspired me to buy the new Coldplay single Viva La Vida.
It’s a bit new for Coldplay…I mean when have we heard a string’s based song from them? And church bells? But, it’s…
Oh Dear LORD This is so GOOD!! Jump, Little Children!
LISTEN. DO IT.

Big, hard thanks to Nick for exposing me to this band. Man, they are just really, really good! It’s just so sad when you come across a band that makes your life better, and then you find…
A Beach Weekend Playlist
My wife and I are going to hang out at the beach this weekend. I’ve chosen our playlist for the ride very carefully:
Leading Off: Jack Johnson - Sleep Through the Static
Next: Angels and Airwaves - We Don’t Have to Whisper
Closing: Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs
I care deeply for each and…
