This New Technology Kills

Pretty much everything I like about an upbeat psych rock song is present in this new single by one of my favorite newer bands, Midnight Juggernauts. Obviously they've been on the scene for quite a while now in terms of blog music shelf life, but the more important thing is that they're consistently putting out quality material that challenges that simple thought of pop music I've previously expressed disinterest in. Not only that, they're still doing it in their signature dark + spacey vein that is just epically perfect in my opinion.

Add to this the wonderful trippy-but-not-trippy-for-the-sake-of-being-trippy video for the song, and you have me watching/listening over and over again. Bravo, sirs. Bravo.

Your projection is dirty

Been digging on this band for a while.

I'd Kill With My Hands For You

The crush continues... I've been singing this song unbeknownst to the ghost of a girl that is off in another world all day.

You're just like the sunrise
When I'm lookin' in your eyes
And baby, you make me cry

When I'm lookin in your eyes
It's just like the dark night
And baby, you make me cry

I have finally found you
I have finally found you
I have finally found you

I would travel through the skies
for you my love
I'd kill with my hands for you

You're just like the sunrise
(I'm lookin') in your eyes
And baby, you make me crack

When I'm lookin' in your eyes
It's just so right
And baby, you make me cry
Baby, you make me cry
Oh baby, you make me cry
Baby, you make me cry
Baby, you make me cry
Baby you make me cry
Baby you make me--

I never find out till I'm head over heels

So Sean has gone and fallen in love again. It's ok, because he knows it could never actually happen or work out. Anyway, Chairlift sound checked with this song last night and I was starkly reminded how much I love it. The video is pretty much an A+, too.

New Chairlift Video

In case you guys didn't know, my band is opening for Chairlift this Saturday at Hailey's in Denton. I'm only, like, a little bit excited, you know, since "Does You Inspire You" was only one of my favorite albums of 2008 and stuff.

This video is demanding of your attention and I love it.

Give my regards to Pluto...

This might be the cutest damn video I've ever seen. And Kevin Barnes is in it too. Where's Jeff Mangum?

And in the evening it's... Girls.

I'm really digging on this band right now.

Their album Album will be available September 22nd on True Panther Recordings.

Domestic Violens

Violens is a band with impeccable pop sensibility. But not the new-school "simple as can be with one good melody and maybe a decent hook somewhere" pop sensibility. No, I mean the old school "throw as many good things at you at once and hope you can catch some of them" school of thought. Being a boy with a major case of A.D.D., I tend to end up loving the latter way more than the former.

Debut album "V" is out on Cantora Records / Static Recital.

Welcome to...

So I've been desiring a personal online space to share things I enjoy with people who might or might not enjoy them as well for a long while, and this is the beginning of that said space. I'm a fan of space, and I hope you are, too.

First off I'd like to share this brand new video from a band that has become one of my favorite new groups, period. If you haven't heard of them, I hope you dig deeper, it's pretty satisfying when you think you're at the bottom and there ends up being more dirt beneath you.
