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…

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…

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…

The Red Album (Guess Who…)

First, the Blue Album–which half changed my life.
Then, Pinkerton–which definitely changed my life.

Listen to Coldplay - Violet Hill | The New Single

But, I’m thinking this…

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…

Ratatat

These guys are amazing. My friend Phil accurately described Ratatat when he said they have a way that “makes you feel like you’re in your own secret world, and you know something no one else knows.”

Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light

December’s review goes to Jimmy Eat World’s new disc, “Chase This Light.”

Check out my favorite track, “Here It Goes.”

It has taken them three years and building their own studio to finally produce another album. This isn’t their best; but it’s still a really
