mewithoutYou - "Fox's Dream of the Log Flume"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S046KlS1rmE[/youtube]

mewithoutYou’s new album “Ten Stories” was released today, and as expected, is wonderful. It’s a solid mix of the “old” and “new” mwY sound, complete with all the lyrical creativity that one might expect from Aaron Weiss & crew. If you’re curious about the overall lyrical theme, well, it’s about a traveling circus & a [keep on readin', baby...]

7 Horns 7 Eyes - 'Divine Amnesty'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuFmrAw1evc[/youtube]

Oh hey there. It’s been a minute. Does anyone still actually visit this site anymore? No? K, cool. So I haven’t been terribly impressed with much of the music that I’ve heard in 2012. Maybe it’s because I simply haven’t listened to all that much new music ORRR maybe it’s because a lot of the [keep on readin', baby...]

I saw this video a few days in a row while watching music channels pre-work last week. It’s not something I’d typically find myself enjoying, but there’s a first time for everything! Gary Clark, Jr. – ‘Bright Lights’

M. Ward has a new record coming out this April called ‘A Wasteland Companion’ and the video below is said record’s first single. It’s called ‘The First Time I Ran Away’ and, in typical M. Ward fashion, a really nice little tune. Check it out!

Calling Jesse Leach!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkm-PtK07Fo[/youtube]

So, word is Howard Jones is out of Killswitch Engage.  That’s a pity, but maybe it’ll mean that Jesse Leach, the original singer dude from back in Alive or Just Breathing days, will come back for good. Thaaat would be neato! Let’s compare, shall we? Jesse (‘My Last Serenade’): Howard (‘Rose Of Sharyn’): Or, maybe [keep on readin', baby...]

If you’re as into the band Every Time I Die as I am, then you too might be excited about their new album Ex Lives due out March 6th. Also, if you’re into this band as much as I am, you too might be interested in hearing the first single (called ‘Underwater Bimbos From Outer Space’) [keep on readin', baby...]

#1 Bon Iver - 'Bon Iver'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjxA25Tj1Ks[/youtube]

If you had told me before this year began that I would end up having the same favorite album as Paste & Pitchfork, there is a zero percent chance that I would have believed you. Serrrusly, ZERO percent. But BEP universe, it has happened. Bon Iver has done it. He has managed to bring the [keep on readin', baby...]

#2 James Vincent McMorrow - 'Early In The Morning'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2XPDP6KkkE[/youtube]

Sometimes I hear music and think ‘why on earth don’t more people know about this artist?’. Or better yet ‘how have I not heard of this guy before now?’ When I first came across James Vincent McMorrow waaaaay back at the start of the year, I absolutely loved it immediately. Maybe it’s to be expected [keep on readin', baby...]
