Be honest, how many of you have already listened to Pride and/or MLK today?
It's National Cory Hart Appreciation Day in Canada.
I will wear my sunglasses tonight in a show of solidarity.
Camper Van Beethoven has a new album out tomorrow?
Who knew they still existed?
So.....the new Local Natives album is streaming. I only had time to catch the 1st 4 songs, but it's pretty good so far.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra II is streaming on NPR. Pretty nice guitar driven psychedelic pop.
Good stuff indeed. They were fun live as well.So I've heard all three of the Jezabels' EPs and their LP. I think it's absolutely criminal that they aren't among the most popular bands in indie rock. Hayley Mary has one of the sexiest voices I've ever heard (a bit like Karen O meets Kate Bush) and their sound is, for lack of a better word, stirring. Endless Summer and Hurt Me are fucking astounding songs.
I am listening to Edge's Picks. And, you know what, I still love Stuck in a Moment. That vocal interplay between Bono and Edge in the last verse is one of my favorite U2 moments of the 2000s.
Hey Laz,
Universal Music emailed me a marketing survey, and one of the bands on the list of "Are you interested in music from..." was Deap Vally. I ticked the box.
For answering the survey, I got a download link for a Universal Music sampler, and one of the tracks is from Deap Vally as well.
Looks like they're going to be getting some marketing push this year.
