Amazing cover.

Does it seem strange to you?
The confetti, the balloons, the mile-wide grins?
The victory dance to welcome in the heir
To a state of disrepair?
Cause it sure seems strange to me
They're acting like they won the lottery
But shouldn't they feel terror at the task that lies ahead?
Of feeding, housing people the system's left for dead?
Could I have hit the nail much harder on the head?
It's profits before lives; they are motivated by greed:
First they taught us to depend
On their nation-states to mend
Our tired minds, our broken bones, our failing limbs,
And now they've sold off all the splints and contracted out
the tourniquets
And if we jump through hoops, then we might just survive.
Is this what we deserve?
To scrub the palace floors?
To fight amongst ourselves?
As we scramble for the crumbs they spit out
Frothing at the mouth about the
Scapegoats that they've chosen for us
With every racist pointing finger
I hear the goose-steps getting closer
They no longer represent us.
Is it not our obligation to confront this tyranny?

Back to Black.

The December Sound.


I can't stop listening to this band. Top notch psych music from Boston. It reminds me of Trail of the Dead in the sonic capacity of the guitar but with much better songs underneath. Great melody, almost haunting, but very powerful rock. Must have.

The December Sound - No Heaven like Hell.

The Whitsundays.

These fellows from california should be on a nuggets comp. Poppy garage with some very airy production value. The vocals are really fab and smooth over the crispy drums. Everything is well played and sticks in your head.

The Whitsundays -- It must be me.

Propagandhi.

Always a big favorite of mine.

"I guess life is just a popularity contest
Success, the ability to perform within a framework of obedience
Just ask the candy-coated Joy-Cam rock-bands
selling shoes for venture-capitalists,
silencing competing messages,
Rounding off the jagged edges"

Wed already.

The Depreciation Guild.



If you enjoyed Slowdive but wish they had some smart drums, or remember how great Medicine was, this band will make you happy. The aptly titled Depreciation Guild is Shoegaze with programmed drums. Sounds great. Not only that but you can download the entire album for free.

The Cinematics.


I Really love this track. It has a bit of an 80's big pop sound in the production. The Cinematics have had an album out for almost a year, but that doesn't mean you can't jump in and love them too. If you like the editors and want something less Joy Division.

The Flirtations.


Such a great song. Three girls from South Carolina belting out the soul in England.
The way her voice drops during "he's got me all won, Can I get him?" gets me every time.
