What a crazy few days. I feel like I just started this blog and then immediately abandoned it. But, I have decided to move past the chaos of this week and take a moment to post about a few new CD's that are out.
Hot Chip - In Our Heads. I don't mind Hot Chip and I was actually looking forward to listening to the new music. Now it's not terrible by any stretch, but I just wasn't aware that Erasure put out a new album. Some of this music actually became predictable, and not in a fun sing-a-long kind of way. http://hotchip.co.uk/
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals - The Lion The Beast and The Beat. This is okay. It reminds my of Joan Osbourne and Sheryl Crow but with a vocal that is a bit more country. I could see this artist at festivals and really doing well, but there is something about it that makes me think it might disappear as quickly as it has appeared. I will say I totally dig how the opening track builds. Great opening track. http://www.gracepotter.com/
Bouncing Souls - Comet. This is simply FUN. It's a lot less punk than their previous efforts, but I can see this blasting from cars all summer especially track 6 We Love Fun http://onesheet.com/bouncingsouls/
Motion City Soundtrack - Go. Each CD, they get better in my opinion. This is a solid effort and they are once again capturing my attention through good writing and super catchy hooks. I have gone back to it a few times over the past few days to listen. http://motioncitysoundtrack.com/
That's all for now, I am at work and have to get back at it. Just wanted to take a few minutes to catch you all up on what I've been listening to and what I think of it.
