Sorry everyone. It's finals week here at St. Bonaventure and we have been chasing papers and deadlines for what feels like forever. Anywhere here's a random Tuesday mix of fun stuff for you all to enjoy.
The Libertines - All at Sea (Demo) - This track came off an exclusive CD released with The Observer newspaper in the UK. This just goes to show how good Pete Doherty was while he was still on drugs.
Weezer - You Won't Get With Me Tonight - While you're waiting for the latest disaster of an album from the band that just can't get over not being popular in high school, here's a track off the unreleased Songs From the Black Hole collection of demos.
127 - Perfect Estafan Blues - Iranian rock band that sings in English and blends piano rock with jazz fusion and Iranian rhythms. It's amazing what kind of music repressive regimes can produce.
The Hives - King of Asskissing - This isn't your radio-friendly Hives by any stretch of the imagination.
Apostle of Hustle - Fast Pony for Victor Hara - I saw this band opening for Sloan at a Canada Day celebration in Central Park last summer. It's Andrew Whiteman from Broken Social Scene taking his immense talent and infusing classican Cuban guitar into his refined style. Hey, he's Canadian. They don't have an embargo on the Cubans.
Hadouken! - Get Smashed Gate Crash - Recommended in small doses. Basically take the same nearly indecipherable rapping of Dizzee Rascal and throw it over Klaxons-style beats on amps. Basically auditory caffeine.
Goldfrapp - A&E - Yes, this is a single. It's the only track off Seventh Tree to blend the overt sexuality of Supernature with the duo's newfound folk obsession. Besides, I have a schoolboy crush on Allison.
That's enough for now.
