the antlers - burst apart

i was a big fan of Hospice, but this is a different album.  No Widows is such a cinematic, atmospheric, badass song.
i recommend it immensely, especially to people who get all analytical about what they hear (or see, or eat ) like JB or GT .

Yeah, it took a few listens, but I really like Burst Apart.  I saw them a week or so ago and they are such a great live act.

Hospice made me want to kill myself. In a good way, but it was just too dayum much and I can't really revisit that album very often.

Looking forward to hearing the new one.

And lets start calling The King of Limbs "The  Disappointment" instead.

Man i grew up listening to buddy holly and there've been a ton of "tribute" albums and i wouldn't say this one is the best but there's some gold on here. Julian Casablanca's version of "Rave On" doesn't really hold a candle to M. Ward's but whatevs.
Lou Reed's version of "Peggy Sue" sounds like he woke up from a heroin coma in a bathtub and just decided to record a song.
Kid rock......yeah......

but!

Modest Mouse's version of "That'll Be the Day" is fucking incredible.
My Morning Jacket's "True Love Ways" The Black Keys "Dearest" She & Him's "Oh Boy!" are all fantastic.
But, of course, the real gem here is Fiona and Jon's "Everyday" so so so so so good.

Kid Rock was a definite inspiration for his rap group Shitzu, with such tracks as "I'm A Man" and "Muff Divin."

Spent the morning listening to the Gillian Welch album followed by the new Fucked Up album.

It's been a very good morning.
Maybe every day is Saturday morning.

I saw Fiona Apple do an entire set of Buddy Holly and Patsy Cline covers, jazzed up.

The New Young Pony Club - Ice Cream

I almost posted this in the "this is a really good song" thread, but it's not really good.  It's a fun pop tune, I'm sure I'll forget it in time, but it's really catchy and I like her voice enough to enjoy it and who knows, maybe it'll grow into something more to me.  But after listening to their other music, I can't really get into them enough.  Point being, the guys in the band are cheesy enough to make me feel like I'd have a chance with the girls, who are very pretty.

Also worth noting, a friend showed it to me, I didn't mind it.  Looking it up, I recognize that it's a new pop act, though he told me they'd been around for a while.  I guess 2007 is a while?  I liked the song and lack the capacity to watch cable, but after talking to him later about where he heard of this band, he said "It was in a car commercial!  It was so good, I love that commercial!"  So somehow, even not having cable, I am connected to this world.  One way or another.  

I apologize for how lame the video tries to be and is but not in the way it wants to be kitschy.
