Weekend Mix: 03.25.11

Daisy - Fang Island - This infectious bit of indie prog-rock is just a damn good time.

Young Pros - Bass Drum of Death - This Mississippi band is loud and I like it.

Don't Break The Needle - J. Roddy Walston and the Business - Close to what I wish Kings of Leon sounded like today.  There is more to come on the blog about these guys.

Gratisfaction - The Strokes - This one has some Billy Joel vibes on the verses.  Good new stuff from The Strokes.

Album Release of the Week: The Strokes, Angles

This one was easy.  The Strokes return tomorrow with their third album Angles, their first in 5 years.  It has its ups ("Under Cover of Darkness", "Gratisfaction", and "Taken For A Fool") and downs, but I enjoy it more than First Impressions of Earth.  No downloads this time, but you can stream the album in its entirety by clicking the link below.

The Strokes' SNL Performances - 03.05.2011

Check out The Strokes from SNL.  I am a bigger fan of "Under Cover of Darkness", but I am glad that these guys are back.  And that is a sweet sleeveless shirt that the bassist is wearing -- good look for him...

Weekend Mix: 03.04.11

Here is a little mix to take you into the weekend.  This one should get you pumped for the weekend's festivities.

Under Cover of Darkness - The Strokes - The first single from their upcoming album, Angles, is a return to form for the band.  Don't forget to catch The Strokes on SNL tomorrow night!

I Was Thinking - Gauntlet Hair - The name of the band is pretty ridiculous (it makes me think of Caleb Followill's old HAIRCUT), but this song is solid.

Come Home - Chappo - A fun little rocker here.

Landline - Oberhofer - Been digging Tacoma/NYC's Brad Oberhofer's tunes, especially this demo.
