I love music, you love music
If we didn’t listen to music, we’d be lame.
Wednesday
Princeton- Calypso Gold
I love that a band named Princeton plays Vampire Weekend like jams titled “Calypso gold” the irony kills me.
Ra Ra Riot- Each Year
I’ve tried very hard to get into Ra Ra Riot over the last year, but I’ve always found their sound to be very paint by numbers indie rock.
Maps and Atlases- Every Place Is A House
Man this show is going to be SMU student heavy.
Thursday
Montonix- Set Me Free
This is the calmest Monotonix gets, and it’s a 1000times harsher then anything you’d get from Wednesday’s bands.
The Pains of Being Pure of Heart- This Love is Fucking Right
Tweest name ever? Tweest name ever. Not so guilty pleasure? Not so guilty pleasure, because it’s absolutely perfect pop music.
Bob Schneider- Come With Me Tonight
Man girls in their mid to late 20’s love this guy, and I’ve never got it.
The Polyphonic Spree- Light & Day
This feels like it was ages ago.
Friday
Crocodiles- Neon Jesus
I find this boring, it’s straightforward, and unimaginative, the hype isn’t warranted.
Happy Mondays- Hallelujah
Every time I think of this band I can’t help but think of the part in 24 Hour Party People when god tells Tony that he’s right in thinking that Shaun Ryder is “the greatest poet since Yeats.”
Amusement Parks On Fire- Young Fight
This subtlety builds to something quite beautiful as the track progresses, going from a soft bit of exposition to blaring wall of disaffection.
Saturday
Datarock- True Stories
Birds of Avalon- Your Downtime is Up
Mount Righteous- Circle Yes or No(removed by request)
You can easily win me over by playing mariachi esq horns in your intro, the catchyness of the track is just icing from there. I can’t wait till we post our review of this EP.
Sunday
Asobi Seksu- Suzanne (Leonard Cohen cover)
One of Cohen’s most heart wrenching songs becomes even more so in this rendition that reimagines it as something delicate and airy.
You can find most of these artist on emusic, itunes, Amazon and at your local record shop.
