Yeahhhh, sooo… not much to talk about here, folks. Move right along.

Okay, actually that Starflyer 59 release is a two-disc collection of B-sides and such that were only available on vinyl until now. It’s pretty good. And Neon Horse, that “mystery band” that’s really just a bunch of dudes from other former Tooth and Nail bands has their second album out. It’s fun times.

Also, Owl City is pretty decent, as are Amadou & Miriam, YACHT and Cave In (if you have a turntable).

   Nothing compelling for me this week.

   Does anyone know if that MJ album was a last minute cash-in?

   Between the Trees is coming out with a new album. I liked them live, so I’m pretty excited about it. I can’t wait to hear it

   The lead vocalist of Neon Horse sounds really familiar. Hmm.

   Does anyone know when a new Stavesacre album is coming out?

   Does anyone actually listen to this crap known as Owl City? I never heard it before until now… man, I can’t believe it’s worthy of being in the title of this post. It’s such crap! Yuck!

   Judging from the decent spelling/grammar and the extreme aversion to synthy pop, and use of the word “yuck”, we can determine that Kmac is a slightly overweight soccer mom – possibly was a huge Def Leppard fan in high school.

   Lol. I’ve got a pretty broad music taste but I hate Def Leppard. I’d actually like to know if any soccer mom’s read this blog. Maybe there should be a poll on that?

   I guess I’ve not transitioned into the pop/synth/dance genre like the rest of the music industry right now; pardon, the trendy music in the music industry.

   I’ll probably listen to Sunny Day for the rest of my life. Man, those were the days.
