I realize announcing an enjoyment of John Mayer isn't exactly a steroid injection to your street cred, but this album is pretty good. Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967 is a fantastic tune.
Yeah but neither does having the Ninja Turtles on the back of your business cards, so I think John Mayer probably keeps your street cred in about the same place

Anybody who takes issue with this card doesn't know what the hell is going on.

Agreed.

Very dissapointing....runs very short and only 8 songs of which 2 songs are overplayed to me already (younger us and the house that heaven built). Too anthemy.....so boils down to a 6 song EP that can't come close to "Post Nothing" or "No Singles".......Guess there is still Cloud Nothings to fill the Japandroid sized void.

It's starting to grow on me a bit more, but I agree my initial impression was "well I'm already familiar with two of these songs and they seem to be the highlights of the album".
But a few of the other tracks; The Nights of Wine And Roses, Fire's Highway & Continuous Thunder, all have their moments. Gonna give it another week or two before I pass final judgement. Post-Nothing had a similar ramp up for me as well, listened to it a few times I shelved it until my buddy kept raving about it and I gave it a second chance months later.
Video has surfaced from this past Saturday's performance at the Frost Revival festival in Palo Alto, CA of two new Modest Mouse songs.
The first is titled "Ansel", and isn't as new, as it was first performed earlier this year on 2012/01/25 at The Warfield in San Francisco. Back then it was given the unofficial fan title of "Mexico".
The second to our knowledge is a debut, and its title is "Heart Of Mine".
This brings the total new song count to five.

Los Lobos is revisiting its watershed 1992 album “Kiko” in a 20th anniversary reissue, adding to the original studio album with previously unreleased early and alternate takes of several songs. Simultaneously, a document of the band’s 2006 performance of “Kiko” in its entirety will be released separately on CD, DVD and Blu-ray, with both “Kiko” projects coming Aug. 21.
“Kiko” was hailed in 1992 as a new artistic pinnacle for the widely lauded East L.A. group and appeared on numerous critics’ yearly Top 10 lists. It was the No. 1 choice in The Times’ consensus Top 10 among its staff writers and regular contributors, and made the Top 10 of Village Voice magazine’s annual poll of some 300 pop music critics.
“ ‘Kiko’ is the band's masterpiece -- a startling leap forward in sonic reach and depth of vision,” Mike Boehm wrote in reviewing the album for The Times two decades ago. “ ‘Kiko’ is a long, troubled dream of an album that holds the temporal and the spiritual in a single gaze: It shows us a suffering humanity an angel's breath removed from an overarching realm of spirits, magic and hallucination.”
One of the most moving songs I have ever heard:

It's much better than No Singles, that was basically just a bunch of songs cobbled together to tide us over between albums. After listening to it basically on repeat the last week or so, it doesn't measure up to Post-Nothing, but it is still probably my top album of the year.
We're heading into the Pink Sky Studio this weekend to start starting again, and record the last tracks for the new album. In the meantime, the original written-and-recorded-in-a-week "A Whale Of A Cow" is a free download at the link below. Have a great weekend, everybuddy!
Ever wondered what Hank Williams might have sounded like had he played in a rock 'n' roll band? Well, you can cease to ponder, because The Riffing Cowboys have answered this vexing query.
With contributions from Warner Hodges and Jason Ringenberg (Jason and the Scorchers), Dan Baird (Georgia Satellites), and Eric “Roscoe” Ambel (The Del Lords, Steve Earle), and a host of other talents, Hank 'n' Roll: A Rock 'n' Roll Tribute to Hank Williams exchanges cowboy hats, steel guitars, and fiddles for bass, drums, and electric guitars. Lots of electric guitars.
The result?—The world's first rock 'n' roll tribute to Hank Williams, a foot-tapping, and at times fist-pumping, assemblage of basement-bred rock ‘n’ roll that presents some stellar Hank songs in high gear.

A quarter-century on from the last Dexys Midnight Runners album Don’t Stand Me Down (mocked upon release, now recognised as a work of genius), Dexys (so named because, says Kevin Rowland, “It’s the same, but also not the same”) return. Recent live shows induced collective rapture in audiences. Can the ‘comeback’ album possibly live up to expectations? It can. It certainly can.
Lostprophets' new album has leaked. Not bad, not great on the first couple listens. Good enough I'll still buy it when it releases. I'm probably the only one that cares...
