Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out

A facebook post from my friend John made me dart over and listen to this song. Always loved it but it's been about a year since I've heard it. The bass line has always struck me as a proto-techno bass line. Plus this particular youtube user's video is pretty cool.

Poolside - Give it a Rest

IO Echo - Addicted

Wow. This is awesome. I have something to go between Bat for Lashes and Zola Jesus, maybe wash it back with some Au Paris. I know NOTHING about IO Echo - just heard this on Garth Trinidad's show on KCRW. I'm guessing you'll see more of her/their stuff in the next few days, as my research commences.

New Franz Ferdinand!!! Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Actions

Releases 8/26/13. Very Nice. I'm quite a big fan of the first record. The guitar sound is to die for.

Dillinger Escape Plan - Crossburner

Okay, it's either this, the title track or When I Lost My Bet that stands as my favorite track on the new album so far. But every track is just so damn good and the flow of the album -ALWAYS a super important thing to me - is the best flow maybe since Calculating Infinity.

The bass guitar on this record CRUSHES.

Mark Lanegan & Duke Garwood Released Black Pudding on Tuesday...

... where the hell was I? Thanks to mxdwn for waking my ass up to it's awesome, awesome arrival.
