I am digging this band! The Poison Control Center is an Iowa band that make some lively indie-rock. Their debut album is filled with psych-pop rhythms and energetic lyrics, which come together to make a solid sound that I am enjoying indeed.
Other than that the days don’t seem to be getting any shorter but I’m keeping myself entertained by playing a little Halo 3, which is proving to be harder than I thought but addictive.

This Beautiful Weekend
Filed Under Music Mix Up | 10 Comments
It rained on Friday and it continued on into Saturday! It was glorious! But I noticed something…The people of California really can’t handle rain. It is a hard adjustment to make and within the first rain drops the city kind of starts to break down, things stop functioning, people stop driving and I wouldn’t be surprised if some people melted.
The rain cleaned out the smog from the air and for the last day and half the sky has been bright blue with big beautiful fluffy clouds floating in the cool breeze. Glorious indeed.
A mix for you to enjoy!

P.S. The new Beirut album, The Flying Club Cup was released on emusic as an advance. Of course I downloaded it, I can’t wait to share my thoughts on the new album and give you a taste. Stay tuned.

New Buffalo Plays
Filed Under Album Picks | 6 Comments
New Buffalo helped take my Monday blues away…This Monday was not like most Monday’s as instead of waking up at the crack of dawn to go to work I had to wake up at the crack of dawn and serve Jury Duty…Oh my dear friends this was my first experience and oh how I wish it was my last. No one wanted to be there, I didn’t want to be there but alas all of us were summoned to the courts of hell to serve justice! Thank goodness it is over…Now I can rest assured I won’t get another Jury Summons for at least 12 months but after that I am fair game…Bastards.

Film School, Hideout
Filed Under Album Picks | Leave a Comment
Film School is a five member band from San Francisco that have survived troublesome times after the bands main man Greg Bertens was jumped outside a Columbus, Ohio club last year and their van was stolen in Philadelphia, which contained all their equipment and to shake things up a little more they lost a few of their band members as well.
But Film School has prevailed and this past Tuesday they released their second full length album, Hideout. An album filled with soaring guitars and driving rhythms which manage to take you away to far off places.

Caribou, Andorra
Filed Under Album Picks | 5 Comments
Caribou just makes you feel good…I just want to say, “Weeee!” They kind of have a 60’s pop sound mixed in with a little psych rock. If Belle and Sebastian tickle your fancy then I would certainly recommend this 4 piece band from Canada (Another band I recommend that hails from Canada…How many is that now Mentok?) I love their soaring energetic rock, it’s like a drug…You just want it to take you as high as it possibly can…Not that I know from experience. ;-)
