mgmt - time to pretend


I love this song.  starts out with such hope and bravado.  but ultimately ends up in heartbreak and disappointment.  sounds like the rise and fall of a rock and roll band, as it was intended.  good stuff

cold war kids



I love the Cold War Kids, and this tune is one of my favorites.  One of the more poppy, radio friendly songs that they have, but it still gets me.  When it comes on, I can't help but do the head bobbing chair dance.  Love it.

excellent guitar work, and a wicked voice.

Milksop:Unsung


saw these boys perform this past weekend at FTS gallery, right here in my back yard of Stratford CT, and I really dug their updated brand of bluegrass, or "psycho folk" as I've heard it described by others.  Above all else, it's the lyrics that got me.  I find humor, especially black humor, to be alluring, not to mention that when I hear a boot stomping jam, I can't turn away.  I can't wait to see these guys again!  fun tunes and good times.  I think that there is a whole world open to these guys.  good luck boys!

My Generation



Mooney and Pete, doin' what they do...  So rad

the who - i'm a boy



without a doubt, my favorite Who song of all times!  the jangly guitar riff, Mooney somewhat reserved.  The opening lines when Roger comes in with "my name is Bill and i'm a head-case!"  so fucking rock and roll, I can't stand it!  This is it.

Deadmau5



i know that i've shared this before, but I just dig it so much!  not much of a house/electronica type guy, but Deadmau5 kicks a whole bunch of ass!  it's mind blowing to see that many people bouncing.  And the hooks are so righteous it's hard not to love this guy!
