New album from Brendan Benson coming out in April

Brendan Benson, sometimes known as the co-founder of The Raconteurs, has been putting out some great music on his own for many years.  He's just announced that he's got a new album coming out on April 21 and it's called What Kind of World.

If you're not familiar with his easy going power pop, check some out here!

"A Whole Lot Better",


"Eyes on the Horizon", and


"Don't Wanna Talk" from 2009's My Old, Familiar Friend.


And "Spit it Out", and


"Cold Hands Warm Heart" from his 2005 album Alternative to Love.


Great songs!  Looking forward to this release.

And while I'm at it, here's some Raconteurs with "Steady as She Goes",


"Hands", and


"Level" from 2006's Broken Boy Soldiers.


Great tunes!

Favourites: Eames Era song Little Brother

I heard this song many moons ago in a year end broadcast on muchly missed internet radio station WOXY.  It's a catchy little pop ditty called "Little Brother" by Eames Era.  They've broken up now, and the founding members formed Generationals.  Hope you enjoy this tune as much as I do.

Awesome cover of Immigrant Song by Trent Reznor, Karen O and Atticus Ross

Check out Trent Reznor. Karen O and Atticus Ross doing Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song".  Heavy.  Love Karen O.

Foo Fighters and Joan Jett don't give a damn about their bad reputation

Here's a cool vid of Foo Fighters with Joan Jett on David Letterman.  They beat the hell out of "Bad Reputation".  Joan still sounds awesome!
