I haven't been listening to anything different or new at all. Same old stuff.
------------------------Josh Lacey's Recommendations------------------------
House of Fools (www.purevolume.com/houseoffools)- Holy shit! See this band play a show. They are like the Format meets Queen. What could be better than that? Pretty incredible. Don't think of them as a Drive-Thru band and try and pigeon hole them - they are a great band signed to a great label. You know, the whole world knocked Drive-Thru when they signed Finch (people said screamo would never be big) and Something Corporate (WTF?? Piano Rock? Is what they said) and it took the music world a while to catch on that the bands were great, don't let it happen again. House of Fools, Socratic, and Houston Calls are leading a new era of Drive-Thru bands that people haven't caught on to yet, I'm telling you, these bands are great. Don't get caught with your pants down and be the last person to fall in love with them.
Jonezetta (www.purevolume.com/jonezetta)- Amazing Amazing band from the bible belt somewhere. Their 5 song demo is tits. Watch out for these guys - they are one of the best new bands I've heard in a long long time.
Sullivan (www.sullivancares.com)- Their debut is going to turn heads everywhere. Seriously amazing.
Forgive Durden (www.forgivedurden.com)- Great technical indie rock from Seattle that is flowing with hooks. I think their full length is going to be impressive. Is Seattle the new Chicago? Only time will tell.
Panic! At The Disco (www.panicatthedisco.com) - Yes they are blowing up, yes they are that good, yes they're 18, yes they are the next big thing, yes I'm a loser.
One last thing - I want to say how disappointed I am in my beloved Boston Red Sox. Growing up in Boston I have been through thick and thin with this team and the way the Theo Epstein situation was handled has left a bad taste in my mouth. I almost retired my Sox hat. A message to bosses everywhere: make your employees feel appreciated and don't slander them in the local media, especially if they are the best general manager in baseball and a fucking Boston legend at age 31. Sad, Sad times. Baseball fans out there - post what you think about the nasty public split between the Red Sox and Theo Epstein - I'm curious.
