Here's a track from a really great forthcoming record from Memphis, Tennessee's Jay Reatard. The album is entitled "Watch Me Fall", and will be available on August 18th. Pre-order the album through Matador Records HERE. Jay has been making music since he was 15, and we think he makes Ben Lee look like a reatard...or retard. Check out "My Reality" below. Check out his official site HERE.
Here's a track from the forthcoming Dodos album, "Time To Die". This one doesn't come out til September 15th. You can pre-order it through Insound here. I remember seeing The Dodos open for French Kiss Records labelmates Les Savy Fav a few years ago, and along with a lot of the crowd, I was taken aback that a band that sounds like this was in support of the NYC crazesters. Also, I'm totally willing to overlook the Dodos song "Fools" being used in a beer commercial recently. "Time To Die" deserves all of the anticipation and praise it is receiving. Check out "Troll Nacht" below. Check out The Dodos offical site HERE.

We're just gonna have to force ourselves to let go of the whole Hype Machine piece, because we're getting too many "anonymous" comments and empty threats from what I assume is the artists themselves, which after an afternoon of perusing their MySpace pages, confirms our suspicions of the fact that most of these acts are not worth the breath of mention.
So, we'll move on to a rock record we're anticipating. The Dead Weather is a side project featuring Alison Mosshart on vocals, from The Kills, Dean Ferita from Queens Of The Stone Age on guitar, Jack Lawrence from The Greenhornes on drums and bass, and Jack White on drums, guitar, and vocals. Check out the album opener, "60 Feet Tall" below. Visit their official site HERE. Pre-order the album HERE. "Horehound" is set to be released next Tuesday, July 14th. We're presuming Meg White is keeping herself busy somehow.
