My recommendation: become a pirate and go on a treasure-hunt for the new mewithoutYou. So worth it.
Plus pirates are cool.

[FeynmanWannabe]

Ray LaMontagne - Until the Sun Turns Black
While substantially different from Trouble, the shift was incredibly well done.

Eliot Morris - What's Mine is Yours
For fans of Counting Crows.

Kite Flying Society - Where is the Glow?
For fans of a slightly less cutesy The Boy Least Likely To, Page France & The Shins to a certain extent, etc.

Brian Wilson - Smile
This sounded sooooo great to my ears yesterday.
:D

This is where I would recommend the new M. Ward album, but I haven't recieved my order yet and thus haven't heard it. Hell, I'm sure it's good. I recommend it.

[LilRyan732]

Powerspace is amazing, Gabe.

[C480RG]

i highly recommend everyone downloading the demos of PlayRadioPlay! off his purevolume page. (www.purevolume.com/playradioplay) He has a bright future.

[Russ Hockenbury]

Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start - All of their free EP's


YES!

[bung]

everyone should just listen to tv on the radio (http://tvontheradio.com). there is not a bad song present on return to cookie mountain.
it is the absolute best release so far this year.

[Zoe]

Agreed!

[handyska]

[sweetforever]

Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSound: I've been spinning all week and I love it. Give it a chance people
John Mayer - Heavier Things: SUch a chill album, his new one is sounding great
The Juliana Theory - Emotion is Dead: I whipped this out on my way to work the other day. Such a good album

[CurtyB]

The Semester (http://www.myspace.com/thesemester)
and if youve havent listened to the new The Format..or if you stopped..there is something wrong with you

[romantic rights]

Brandon A: I recommend listening to Big D and the Kids Table (http://www.myspace.com/bigdandthekidstable).



we have ourselves a winner

[whyte39]

for an australian flavour this week, im going to go with the John Butler Trio (http://www.myspace.com/johnbutlertrio), Xavier Rudd (http://www.myspace.com/xavierrudd), and The Waifs (http://www.myspace.com/thewaifs).

Oh, and State Radio (http://www.myspace.com/stateradio).

[ilovebsb]

Go listen to boston based sensationLANSDOWNE http://www.myspace.com/lansdowne
they've played with OK GO, Kaddisfly, Tokyo Rose. Have them get played on wbcn again today!!
its really fun heartfelt pop rock so go check them out now!

[Low Level Owl]

I recomend the new songs from Panda Bear. These songs are reminiscent of Pet Sounds Era beach boys yet at the same time they are completely different.

I also have been spinning a lot of Mark Kozelek lately. Listen to What's Next To The Moon, his album of AC/DC covers. It's quite amazing really unless you are a huge AC/DC fan because he turns some of their early balls out anthems into quiet love songs.

[st shellay]

Definatley the new Justin Timbelake.
Also, Danity Kane,they are my guilty pleasure, but only like half of the cd.
I have been listening to both Sound of Animals fighting cds since I saw them at House of Blues last week.
I've also been watching Nip/Tuck...I'm fucking STOKED for season 4.

Is it just me, because it seems like I'm the only person who DOESN'T like the new My Chemical Romance song. I find it kind of boring. I miss the energy their songs used to have.

[TyroneShoolaces]

Was watching my copy of Arrested Development Season 3 last nite :)
There is not a funnier show in the history of television.

[Blake Solomon]

I recommend:
Minus the Bear- This is what i know about being gigantic EP
Minus the Bear- Highly Refined Pirates
mewithoutYou- {A-->B} Life
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones- Lets Face It


haha, this rec was brought to you by the letter "m" for masochism, merry men, and master plans

[FeynmanWannabe]

Brandon H.: I have been listening to alot of Andrew Bird (http://www.andrewbird.net/), Every Time I Die (http://www.everytimeidie.com), and season 3 of Arrested Development (http://www.fox.com/home.htm).[/fs] Andrew Bird! Good fucking call!

I'll have to check out Panda Bear then. Mmmmm, Mark Kozelek.

[Brandon Herbel]

Andrew Bird! Good fucking call!

I've been listening to him for a while but for some reason that song "nervous tick motion of the head to the left" has been playing on my speakers for weeks now.

[kittypants]

There's nothing wrong with me. It's just not nearly as good as everyone on this website makes the album out to be.

[intoyourarms]

MewithoutYou - Brother, Sister. geez they really outdid themselves this time around. I thought it was going to be another typical cd of theirs. Definitely top 10 of the year.

These Arms are Snakes - Easter. The best hard rock band around period. See them live and you won't disagree. Can't wait to watch them kill this cd live.

Love that song and album. One of my favorites from last year.

[whyte39]

oooh the tv show Stella. If you haven't heard of it. Hear of it. Hilarious.

[|ant|]

Ray LaMontagne - Until the Sun Turns Black

Glad to see someone else flaunting his greatness. This man will be one of the legends of our time. Listen. Love it.

Both albums are stellar.
