New and Exciting This Week
Tons of stuff impacting on radio this week (ysi links for some of them if you want to take a listen):
Against Me! - Stop
This isn’t as catchy as “Thrash Unreal”, but I think it will still do okay on the radio.
Armor For Sleep - Hold The Door
I totally love this song.
Black Crowes - Goodbye Daughters Of The Revolution
I’m not that excited about a reunited Black Crowes.
Gnarls Barkley - Run
It’s definitely not “Crazy”. But that could be a good thing.
Mountain Goats - Sax Rohmer #1
Really? Mountain Goats on the radio?
Nada Surf - Whose Authority
I’m still warming up to the album. I don’t think there is a standout single quite yet.
Silversun Pickups - Little Lover’s So Polite
Funny that this is hitting radio now. This was actually what Indie 103.1 was playing on the radio before “Lazy Eye” caught on.
After “Well Thought Out Twinkles” made an appearance in the alt rock top 10, I didn’t really think anything else off the album would hit the airwaves. I’m not complaining though. I heart SSPU on my radio. And of course, KBZT is all over this shit already. Hooray.
Theory Of A Deadman - So Happy
Tiger Army - Pain
I didn’t track these two down....if I find them later, I’ll re-post.
Vampire Weekend - A-Punk
All the rage for indie blogger nation. Their Casbah show is already sold out. I.don’t.get.it.
One new release of note:
British Sea Power Do You Like Rock Music?
The stream is supposed to be up on their myspace, but as of me writing this post, it is not up yet. They’ve been getting a lot of love on college radio ("Waving Flags” won song of the day honors on KEXP last week.)
A couple of new releases that I missed last week:
Say Hi The Wishes and the Glitch
Formerly known as “Say Hi To Your Mom”. I’m liking the latest incarnation of this indie pop goodness. You can listen to the entire album here.
Sons and Daughters This Gift
Totally am digging on this band...of course, discovered by hitting Slacker’s Indie Hits station. Also available on Spinner.
