The Hangover.


Yes, it looks a bit contrived, but hopefully this movie will still deliver some laughs. Todd Phillips directed "The Hangover" stars Bradley Cooper, super funny Zach Galifianakis, and Ed Helms from The Office. Keep an eye out for the Mike Tyson cameo in the trailer. Big thanks to YourMomFanClub for sharing this. Check out the trailer above, and a track from the Walkmen for your weekend, below.

I'm never been too hot on live albums, but here's a few off of the Death Cab For Cutie 'Something About Airplanes' reissue. Way before Ben Gibbard was rumored to be heartbroken by Jenny Lewis, and engaged to Zooey Deschanel. The second disc off the reissue is a live show from the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle. Check out "Fake Frowns" and a cover of "Sweet & Tender Hooligans". Death Cab For Cutie's reissue can be purchased here.

The Sweet Sounds of Camera Obscura.


"My Maudlin Career" by Camera Obscura, will be released on April 21st, on the still wonderful 4AD Records. I can't tell you how many lonely nerds I've heard in my lifetime comment on this Camera Obscura album cover. I think the general consensus amongst them was, "Now there's two non-threatening ladies that look like they wouldn't be totally mean to me and make me feel like shit! It also looks like they'd tolerate my obsessive music collection!". Of course they are. Check out "The Sweetest Thing" below. Also, preorder "My Maudlin Career" through Amazon here, or Insound here.

Girls.



San Francisco band Girls, sure make it hard to find them via Google. Results include various locations in the city of San Francisco where sex slaves are or used to be. Girls have a full-length album coming out shortly, but here's a few tracks from some of the mini E.P.'s they have recorded. The artwork features, well...girls. Check out Girls' MySpace page here.

Strange Boys


For fans of The Black Lips, I highly suggest Austin, Texas' Strange Boys. Their In The Red Records release 'And Girls Club', is a 16 song psychedelic romp through what is seemingly another era. Check out "Woe Is You and Me" and "Should Have Shot Paul" below. Check out their MySpace page here.

Weary.


I'm so tired. This song always makes me want a pillow. If Ian wasn't anti-commercialism with his music, this would make a great Sleeping Aid commercial.
