Stream the new Twilight Sad album and check out their new video

I'm starting to feel like the official Twilight Sad No One Can Ever Know news outlet, but what the hell, I'm looking forward to the new release.  Here's the video for "Another Bed"



And you can stream the whole album at Spin.  I'm doing that right now.

New Brendan Benson song "Bad For Me"

I posted about Brendan Benson's upcoming album What Kind of World coming out April 21.  Now Stereogum's got a first track to listen to.  You can trade your email address for a copy of the track over at Brendan's site, too.

And thanks to Brendan for tweeting about my previous post! Muchos gracias!

Chillin' on a Sunday evening

Here's a track by a new band called Sleep Party People that's getting some buzz.  The track's called "I'm Not Human at All".  If you liked Donny Darko you might dig the bunny masks.



This one's pretty intense.  It's called "A Dark God Heart" and it's NSFW.

Ruminations on a Friday

Today I worked late and as I took the subway home I saw so many people heading to places with happy liquor store bags. They were off to a friend's or a party or just home with a bag of a bottle of something to help them get through, or put a smile on their face. I had some lovely tunes to put a smile on my face until I got home. 

New Sleigh Bells track, just like everyone else

One of my favourite old silly sayings is, "You're an individual, just like everyone else".  And being a blogger can mean that you post unique things that no one else is posting about or you follow the crowd and post the coolest new thing that everyone else is posting about.  Hopefully I end up somewhere in between.

Sleigh Bells is certainly a band that lots of bloggers post about.  I posted about them a long time ago about them when I first heard "Rill Rill".  I liked it so much, it ended up at number 8 on my best songs list.  I'm sure I'm late out of the gate with posting about this, but I've got to tell you that they've got a new album coming out called Reign of Terror on February 14.  So Happy Valentine's Day.

Here's the first track they've put out from the album.  It's called "Comeback Kid".  I wish them lots of success with this second album.  Looking forward to it!
