Big thanks to YourMomFanClub for providing this list of 406 Bands who Twitter. Out of morbid curiosity, I checked Miley Cyrus' account, and it has been suspended 'due to mysterious activity'. How does one make 'chinky' eyes on Twitter? Also included, MC Hammer, Sonic Youth, The Silversun Pickups, and Snoop Dogg. I wonder what he writes about all day? Check out the entire list HERE.
I can't tell you how excited I am to hear this record when it finally comes out. Check out a track from the live Gilman Street bootleg that is currently floating around.
"We Build Al Qaeda in Washington (Live)" by Thorns of Life
Edan is quite an assault on your lyrical senses. For some East Coast hip hop done right, check out two tracks below. Visit his official site here. "Rock & Roll" by Edan
Check out my favorite self-pity song from the early 2000's. Are they gonna start coming out with those compilation albums on late night tv, that feature nostalgic hits of the 2000's? Featuring 'Last Night' by The Strokes, and 'Fell in Love With a Girl' by The White Stripes? As long as they don't call it Y2Krazy, or something like that...feel free to leave some song other suggestions...
Here's a couple of tracks from Jason Schwartzman's Coconut Records sophomore release, 'Davy'. I saw Jason Schwartzman years ago in front of The Roxy Theater in Hollywood. I had unwittingly tagged along to a Phantom Planet show. He was on the sidewalk of Sunset Boulevard, having an 'intense discussion' with Selma Blair, who I presume he was biblically with at the time. Fresh from his 'Rushmore' starring role, I was sure he'd heard the "Oh, are they?" line practically everywhere he went. So, I drunkenly thought I'd be original if I quoted a far less known line in the movie, that more importantly required the context involving the scene it came from. It was the line in which Max Fischer lying, and boastfully tells another student that he was kicked out of Rushmore, "You think I was expelled from Rushmore because of the Aquarium? It was the handjobs." It was the handjobs." A bit of advice, do not tell ANYONE the aforementioned words in public, "It was the handjobs."
Here's a track from M.Ward's latest album, "Hold Time". There's a few tracks featuring Ben Gibbard fiancee, Zooey Deschanel. I guess the tracks didn't make it to M.Ward and Zooey's project of 'His & Her's', or whatever they call themselves. Dedicated to all the Catholics on Ash Wednesday, check out 'Epistemology' below.
"200 Million Thousand" by The Black Lips was released today, and is available at iTunes. I've had the pleasure of having a preview copy of this album for a while, and I must say that it truly gets better with each listen. My philosophy is that an album that takes a little work, and a lot of listens to get into, will ultimately have longevity in your collection in the long run. I intend to go back to this one for a while to come. This is the kinda thing that helps hash be so enjoyable.
