The Kings of Leon Vs. Modest Mouse

In attempt to make people like my blog better I installed a gadget. It is a poll. Impressed?

So who wins? Modest Mouses' new album, 'No ones first and your next,' is getting positive attention due to the fact that the band is reaching back to its roots a bit. Songs are awesome and as usual it sounds unlike other stuff out there. The Kings of Leon new album, 'Only By the Night' is also really sweet, with an album packed with good listens. I'm not going to tell you which one I like better...you have to decide for yourself. Download those mofo's here:

Local Native's Daytrotter

For all you kids getting high and listening to Grizzly Bear or jamming out to Citizen Cope at work, be sure to use LA's Local Natives to unwind after the day ends. Sure the EP will make you feel like a 16 year old girl screaming into a hairbrush after breaking up with your boyfriend, but a little EMO here and there never hurt anyone.

Local Natives opened for Blind Pilot a few months ago at the Black Cat in DC and their poppy appeal is immediately catchy. With two guitar players, a bassist, drummer, and lead singer who also plays keyboard, the sound is rich and melodic with lots of depth.

Grizzly Bear's Veckatimest

Sorry for not posting anything lately but I am going to get back on track now! Also, if any of you guys have good music and want to make a blog post, it's really easy and I can give you access to write.

This week we are going to examine my friend Grizzly Bear. MMMm, Grizzly Bear. I have been loving their music since they came out with Yellow House in 2006. Unfortunately I only had those tracks on my ipod that I left in the rain. BUT, I did DL their new album called Veckatimest and it happens to be the fracking bees knees.

For all of you who having been rooting for more entries on acoustic type stuff (Ray LaMontagne and Andrew Bird) this is sort of for you. It is soft and catchy and all that...it is also a bit more experimental however. If you are interested in some crazy song structure and some mad cool harmonies, get after this one. For a good first taste, check out 'Two Weeks' which is track two.
