This Town Needs Guns - Animals

I'm not a huge fan of This Town Needs Guns, I just don't agree with the vocal style. However, the instrumental aspect of the band is solid, and some of the tracks with vocals aren't bad. Letter T. Enjoy.

Ulver - Shadows of the Sun

Ulver is an amazing group, although I must say I've never listened to the whole album in one sitting. Usually the only reason I have to listen to it is because I'll be stoned or something, and I fall asleep halfway through. That should tell you something about both the music and I. Ulver is very relaxing and interesting, and my choice for the letter U. I tend to think of Shadows of the Sun as somewhat of a masterpiece. Enjoy.

The Killers - Sawdust

The Killers are a really cool band. They enjoyed a explosion of popularity with the release of their 2004 album, Hot Fuss, and while I enjoy the energetic pop sound of the album, I think that their later compilation and rarity release Sawdust is much, much better. My favorite track off this album is All The Pretty Faces, the guitar drives hard and the bass line is intense with it's rhythm. Brandon Flowers' vocal style is also very appealing. I hope you enjoy this more obscure side of a very popular band.

Air - Moon Safari

I really don't know how I haven't posted this album yet. I listened to Moon Safari at least once a day every day all summer. It's intensely mellow and relaxing, a sure-fire bet to calming yourself down after a stressful day at school or work. Supremely talented French musicians making electronica/synth-pop music, enjoy.

Failure - Fantastic Planet

It's been a very long time since I posted. School has a tendency to distract. Over the period of time that I have been absent I've developed quite an interest in many different genres of music that I would have thought completely outlandish just one year ago. One thing that I have noticed throughout my travels and experiences is that great music bridges all gaps. Music has the unique power of bringing like peoples together, and this blog is my attempt to reach out to my friends and others.

I'm going to start this off with an album that has quickly turned out to be one of my ultimate favorites. This is a fantastic space rock concept album, it is incomparable, but the closet companion to the sound would probably be Hum.

Radiohead - OK Computer

I never thought I would be able to get into Radiohead. Every time I began listening to an album I just got bored and couldn't really hold focus the way that I thought I would be able to. They get rave reviews and I just couldn't see what others saw in them. Then I listened to OK Computer. It blew my mind. I loved it so much I bought the limited edition vinyl. If you are like me and having trouble getting into Radiohead, enjoy this gem.

MGMT - Congratulations

Well, this album still has a few weeks until it comes out. It's leaked already, and I must say, it's quite good. It's a departure from the feel of Oracular Spectacular, as there is little to none electronic effects and the band sticks to a more traditional indie rock format. I find it quite enjoyable and I think you will too.
