The Pine Club - http://www.thepineclub.net/ Louisville, Kentucky bands last album, “Last Frame” is up for free download.

Cartel “Chroma”
Pretty Girls Make Graves “The New Romance”
Spoon “Gimme Fiction”
The Firebird Band “The City At Night”- The band Chris Broach does full time. This album was unlike anything I ever would have expected (except for one song I heard) and is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for something new.
Sunny Day Real Estate “LP2”

[resUrectMe617]

i recommend drinking a lot of starbucks coffee.. stupid midterms are coming and papers are due left and right and i can't keep my eyes open sometimes.

for listening purposes:
- we are scientists (with love and squalor)
- muse (absolution)
- glassjaw (everything you ever wanted to know about silence)
- eisley (laughing city ep)

i invite people to watch the village and think about it as a commentary on society, rather than a horror/thriller flick which it was wrongfully marketed as.

bloc party - i had heard these guys a while ago, but paid no attention to them. i just started listening to silent alarm; and my god, it's good.
tarkio - this is colin meloy's old band. kill rock stars just released a collection of their music.
