Nada Surf - Lucky.

Excellent album, through and through. These folks are compared to Rogue Wave quite often... I don't thoroughly understand, there is a significant difference. However, just as brilliant in their own way.



"See These Bones" (album: Lucky) (artist: Nada Surf)

Wild Sweet Orange.

I love wild, sweet oranges. I also love Wild Sweet Orange. So do you.
Here's a slightly folkish punk-rock tune for you all to enjoy (somewhere along the lines, in my mind, of a modern Violent Femmes).

"Wrestle With God" (album: The Whale EP)

The 11th Commandment... Loving The Epochs.

It's pretty simple. Enjoy.



"Mouths to Feed" (album: The Epochs) (artist: The Epochs)


"Opposite Sides" (album: The Epochs) (artist: The Epochs)

I'm a believer.

I've found yet another artist that has heightened the sound of their tunes with string instruments... The Choir of Young Believers. Jannis Noya Makrigiannis emerged out of Denmark and graced the rest of this Earth with his presence when grabbing a couple of his friends and releasing his first EP, "Burn The Flag".

This one may be the first full length album as of now, but I haven't found a track on it that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. I'm ready for another release. Cheers. :)

"Hollow Talk" (album: This is For the White in Your Eyes)

The Academy Is...

All right, I know I have always enjoyed The Academy Is. But, have they always sounded like this? It's been an eye-opening experience for me. Anyway, here's my toast to "Fast Times at Barrington High".


"Rumored Nights" (album: Fast Times at Barrington High)

The Apples In Stereo - New Magnetic Wonder discs.

The Apples in Stereo are the artists of choice for my day, today. Here's an American indie rock band you can really drive to, if you get what I mean. A new album is currently in creation somewhere deep within the city limits of Lexington, Kentucky... And has a release date set for April 20, 2010.
As for New Magnetic Wonder; duo discs of glory! This album has two compact discs of mind chokingly excellent tunes. Take 'em for a spin, sometime.

This one in particular has been sending me into even further Summer heat withdrawals...
"The Sun Is Out" (album: New Magnetic Wonder CD 1)



"7 Stars" (album: New Magnetic Wonder CD 2)

Rarely are remixes as successful as the original.

So, this one is defying everything I believe in. Categorized in my mind along with "You Will Find A Way" Switch and Graeme Sinden Remix by Santigold.



I'm LOVING Yeasayer, lately. Bearing in mind that this is a REMIX, if you like the style you hear... Look them up.
Anyway, here it is.

"Ambling Alps Remix" by Alan Wilkis (album: Odd Blood) (artist: Yeasayer/Alan Wilkis)
