Well, I’m pleased. D.C.’s No Second Troy have offered up two new mp3s in anticipation of their new album, Colors, which drops April 27, 2010.

Knox Road Radio show and playlist for 3.28.10

This week Lee and Jamie were absent, so me and my partner-in-crime (PIC) Steven played some awesome tunes for you all. And talked about concerts, notably Shearwater and The Antlers (which were both good! Go see them!). Also, there was really loud music in the background while we were talking, and you can kind of… Continue reading Knox Road Radio show and playlist for 3.28.10

In Case You Missed It: Week In Review

Unfortunately, it looks like Broadway does want to be an American Idiot, considering the above commercial for the upcoming Broadway “adaptation” of the album. It’s pretty… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review

Phenomenal Video Saturday: The Antlers

We’re back with a good ol’ The Antlers track, because who doesn’t love The Antlers? The answer is no one doesn’t love The Antlers. The Antlers.

Here’s how it goes: I play iTunes on shuffle -> tell you which song comes up -> provide the mp3 and a tidbit -> continue until five songs and embarrassment are complete.

[MP3] The Dirty Diamonds – “The Right Direction”

I started off the day in a VERY sleepy way, so I’ve been listening to some upbeat dance-ish pop in the form of The Dirty Diamonds.

Cults unveil the mystery in cute video for “Go Outside”

The mysterious, under-two-minute song “Go Outside” by the equally mysterious and brief Cults now has a not-so-mysterious video! Phew! Some light is finally shed! For one, we know that whoever filmed the Cults video lives near an ocean with rocky shores and caves (narrowing it down!). We ALSO know that whoever filmed the video has… Continue reading Cults unveil the mystery in cute video for “Go Outside”

[MP3] The National – “Bloodbuzz Ohio” (high quality, non-rip)

AWESOMENESS. The National debuted “Bloodbuzz Ohio” this morning on BBC radio and while several blogs jumped at the radio rip (we were quick to hear it as well), we finally have been given a high quality version courtesy of their label 4AD. By the way, it’s really good. Mix of Alligator and Boxer and the… Continue reading [MP3] The National – “Bloodbuzz Ohio” (high quality, non-rip)
