Broken Social Scene Presents: Brendan Canning

Rock and roll you can shake your tail to. Dig the rhythm section and the jagged guitar that goes through the whole song. Plus I love the sound that he gets of layered distortion. Rockin' indie music! For those of you who haven't listened to Broken Social Scene, they are a must listen. I loved Kevin Drew's "Spirit If.." album as well. Brendan Canning is the bass player. On this BSS Presents he gets his own showcase and has vocal duties as well.

The album is called "Something For All of Us

Hit The Wall



and here is one of my favorites from Broken Social Scene off of the "You Forgot It In People" album:

New Gnarls Barkley video and Last Shadow Puppets

Here is a new video from Gnarls Barkley off of the new album "The Odd Couple". It is a pretty cool video (and song) with a really strange ending. Check it out:

Gnarls Barkley - Goin On




And from the very cool pitchfork tv is a video from the guy from The Arctic Monkeys Alex Turner and a guy named Miles Kane of a band called the Rascals. I don't care what anyone says about being overhyped, I have really enjoyed both Monkeys albums. This is very cool sounding and makes me want to hear more:

Last Shadow Puppets- Age of the Understatement




enjoy!

The Zombies and a Young Rival

Avoiding responsibilities for a second here. Had to post about The Zombies. I have had Zombies on the brain since rappin with Mr. LivefromApt during a Celtics game recently. I was playing my "Best 60's music" playlist when they came on and Ryan was all over that shit. Then Stereogum hooks me up with a tune that totally reminds me of The Zombies as well. The Zombies were old-school, contemporaries of the Beatles early on. They wrote awesome funky, bluesy tunes with great harmonies. Check it out for yourselves:

First the new song: Young Rival-4:15
And for your aural pleasure:

The Zombies-She's Not There



They wrote "Time of the Season" which is awesome. They disappeared and some of their members went on to solo stuff. I think they just suffered from bad timing and people just not ready.

The Zombies-Time of the Season




I've been listening to a lot of great early 60's and 70's New York latin music. I will post some of that soon.

Peace
