Music on a Monday

I know I post about the same artists over and over again and, if you don't like my music, this may get old... sorry.

This song from Elvis Perkins (this video was only posted 11 hours ago) is really good. Michal and I had the opportunity to see Perkins live in concert a couple months ago. Great show.

Unfortunately the only show he has listed in his tour section on MySpace is the New Orleans Jazz Fest in April --- I don't think we'll be making it down for that one.

New Music Monday - USoE

I know, this track has been out for a while, but the album is still a day away.

Matt sent me a link the other day to the Muse site where they were offering a free listen to the new album in it's entirety (for logged-in members, which I quickly became). In my opinion (and I know I will get a lot of flack for this), United States of Euroasia (+Collateral Damage) is the best track on this new album. I have always liked Muse for including classical piano interludes in their songs. Chopin's Nocturne in E-Flat Major works so well here that it almost sounds as if it were written for this song (I might also get shot for saying that too).

Anyhow, take a listen, compare it to Queen, and tell me what you think. Also, enjoy the album here } http://muse.mu/media-player/albums/47/the-resistance/# (once again, thanks Matt).

New Music Monday - Drakkar Sauna

Something New, Something Old.

This is one odd video. The sound is like 'Brother Where Art Thou" but the look is, well, you just have to see it.

Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks

Tomorrow night Michal and I are going to see this band. They just hit No. 8 on the Billboard charts for their new album. There sound is an odd combination of old-school Beach Boys, Beruit, and Fleet Foxes. I am real excited.

Music Monday - May 04

There's a station in town that plays 'new music' on Monday. I hate when they say 'here's the new one from...' and it's from an album that's been out for a year. So here's one from Sam Roberts from last year (not new, but still good...)
