Audio Emerges of Obama’s Kanye West Remark. Public Opinion Rises!

Category : Audio, News

obama-kanye

We all know what happened at the VMAs.  Kanye West had to make some sort of scene and get attention.  Seriously, did the dude not get attention as a child?

That made news and blah blah blah.

What is awesome, is that Obama echoed the sentiments of millions of people by calling Kanye a *gasp!!* “Jackass”, and all the sudden that’s news.

Here’s the audio.  It’s awesome, and my opinion of him has risen.  Health Care, Schmealth Care, just trash Kanye and you’re good in my book!

Bands You Should Know: Shark Speed

Category : Audio, Music

shark

These past couple weeks some really great bands have been drifting by my radar.  This week, I discovered Provo, Utah’s Shark Speed.

Overflowing with wonderfully tangled chords, summersaulting rhythms and vocals that easily hit all the highs without sacrificing the lows, Sea Sick Music keeps you intrigued with unexpected electronic flourishes and subtle touches of brass. Still, the unforgettable melodies and hook-filled choruses are the real show stoppers. For a debut album – for any album – Sea Sick Music is incredibly accomplished and varied, not to mention fun and completely entertaining. [Beartrap PR]

David Bazan Unleashes a New Song: Bless This Mess

Category : Audio, Music, News

bazan

In order to promote his first full length without the Pedro the Lion moniker, David Bazan has released a track off of his upcoming album Curse Your Branches.  The track is called Bless the Mess and according to Bazan is a kind of autobiographical song.  Something he’s never really done.

According to Bazan:

The song is largely autobiographical. So any narrative in the song reflects actual events. Though I may have embellished a bit. But the main lyrical gimmick is sort of a self-conscious and hopeful interpretation of the Beatitudes, which I have an uneasy relationship with as the narrative tends to illustrate.

Curse Your Branches is available for pre-order! You’ll get access to a free stream of the record if you order before Sept 1.

I’m going to start up a little weekly post or bi-weekly post called Bands You Should Know.  I’ve been trying to keep up with music, but have been falling behind.  Not a lot floats my boat anymore.

That’s changed with this week’s discovery of Raleigh, North Carolina’s Gray Young.

Check out a tune:

New Video for Underoath is Band-less

Category : Audio, Music, Random Videos

This video from Underoath is for the song Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear off of my favorite album of 2008, Lost in the Sound of Separation. Really cool video, no band but some creative and beautiful imagery. The song’s not to shabby either!

Oceans Release Nothing Collapses

Category : Audio, Music, News

oceans-cover-small

Chicago based Oceans have released their debut full length album, Nothing Collapses on Copper Lung Records (Portland, OR).  Go here to grab  your copy for only $6! I’ve heard it, and it’s well worth a measly $6.

Oceans’ debut is a sprawling masterpiece that flexes a magnificent scope. After two self-released demos, the Chicago instrumental juggernaut has thrown down a massive gauntlet with an enthralling and monumental piece of post rock. Filtered through the influences of Midwestern indie / emo and indebted to DIY / punk rock values, Oceans are playing instrumental music with a deliberate, yet dynamic purpose. Most importantly, Nothing Collapses fuels an unmistakable heart and soul that takes your breath away, reminding you of why you fell in love with instrumental music in the first place. Sometimes it takes a band like Ocenas to come along and make other bands look themselves in the mirror. Nothing Collapses simply sets the bar higher. [Bear Trappr PR]
