Mid-day Music

Some cool stuff has been popping up over the last day or so..

Raven Sings the Blues has two more songs off the new Silversun Pickups album, Carnavas. Seriously, how long before an album comes out can you declare it the best album of the year? Go listen.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, how long before an album comes out can you declare it the most boring, unnecessary "solo" album of the year? Kill Your Coworkers posts something from the new Thom Yorke (of Radiohead, duh) album. The whole album is floating around out there in the internet ether, and, I gotta say, it's awful.

You Ain't No Picasso posts something from the most recent "month EP" by Bishop Allen, May. I keep linking these songs, but don't think I've ever really listened to them. Maybe I should start.

And, if none of the above interests you, maybe you should spend your time getting caught up on the ABCs of shoegazer. Mars Needs Guitars has a cool shoegazer retrospective, and Mooka Motel has two.
