When Poison ruled the world…and my pants. It’s painful to watch Rock of Love now, knowing what once was.

I have no idea why the Scissor Sister’s second album Tah-Dah got no love. But this is my favorite track from it. Elton John should sue them for stealing his voice.

Some random good songs.

Seriously, I don’t understand the Future Bible Heroes. I can’t even say that I can listen to an album of theirs the whole way through. Something about this one makes me keep coming back. I want to form a band immediately and perform it.

08-glamorous-indie-rock-roll.mp3 [THE KILLERS][This was not on either of their albums, but it should be. Despite Brandon Flowers douchiness, he's got one hellavuh voice.]

06-im-a-vampire.mp3 [FUTURE BIBLE HEROES][This song is kinda wtf. But eerily good.]

I will admit, I am all over the new Kanye West single, “Stronger”. Sampling Daft Punk? Amazing. I know he acts like a complete cocky asshole, but I think it is all part of the image he is projecting. And you know what? It works. Plus, anyone that wears argyle is alright in my book.

Dload here “Stronger”
or listen here:

Facebook has gone to far when groups like this are formed. The hell? I can’t tell if it is real or satire. I don’t know which would be worse.

Screw Women’s Studies, I should have majored in homemaking. Normally I would applaud efforts to show that raising a family is hard work, but somehow I can’t get on board with this one.

Jack White in a kilt. Need I say more?

And in my-weekend-plans-are-cooler-than-yours, I will be attending the Treasure Island Music Festival, seeing Built to Spill, Spoon, M.I.A., Ghostland Observatory, Earlimart, Film School….. it’s too good to be believed.

Here’s some random songs that you should know:

P.J. Harvey, “Down By the Water“

Ghostland Observatory, “Stranger Lover“

The Distillers, “Beat Your Heart Out“

Also, the “Boys” video because it’s damn good.

I compiled a mix of new stuff that I’ve been listening to. I’m too lazy to list the tracks, but just download the file and trust me. Although today I am feeling particularly musically elitist and refusing to listen to anything released before 1982 (Joy Division party up in hee-yar!)

[September Mix]

Gin Blossons, “Allison Road” YES THE GIN BLOSSOMS, OK. I used to love this song, and whenever I took the Addison Road Blue Like train in DC I would get this song in my head.

Manic Street Preachers, “Winterlovers” I totally didn’t appreciate MSP until recently.

Operation Ivy, “The Crowd“. Cause they’re from Berkeley. Wheeee!

The Age of Love

Haven’t done this officially lately, because I’ve been posting songs everyday, but this is a special occasion, because this is M.I.A.’s first official single from her new album.

M.I.A.; “Boyz“

Also, BONUS! Especially posted for my brother: It seems this is the new version of the Transformers theme to be used in the new movie. I don’t know who sings it, but it kind of sounds like Linkin Park or Disturbed or some crap like that. .

Get Transformers

I am still hoping they use the Dirk Diggler/Chest Rockwell version of “The Touch”.  Speaking of, here’s the original to rock out to.

Get The Touch

The Macabees, “Precious Time” This band will be huge.

I’m now hosting music right on my blog server! This should make it easier for you to get. Just right-click-and-save-as.

Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley) featuring Ben Gibbard (of Death Cab for Cutie) and Conor Oberst (of Bright Eyes) covers The Traveling Wilburys’ “Handle With Care“. What an indiie supergroup! My head is spinning! (the streaming audio should be working now)

Brand New, “Flying at Tree Level“

Feeling some 90s nostalgia- Sneaker Pimps, “Low Place Like Home“

Music and Lyrics was dreaaaaaaadful. I mean, physically painful. The first three minutes was the only enjoyable part. That’s because it was a video for High Grant’s fictional band Pop! which was really dead on for an 80s band. And the song is pretty catchy. You’ll see. [video]

Pop; “Pop Goes My Heart“

I’m feeling a lil bit country.

Old 97s, “Big Brown Eyes“

Spoon, “My Little Japanese Cigarette Case“

It’s from their newest album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Yes, that’s really what it is called.
