There's just something about the 80's that inspires great cover songs. So great, in fact, that this series is gonna be a two-parter. First up: Rock. All the excesses of the 80's – big hair, ten-minute guitar solos, and Jon Bon Jovi – are all well represented below by artists who aren't afraid to find the good songs amidst the novelty. And stay tuned for some 80's pop next week. Jessica Will - For Those About to Rock (AC/DC) When AC/DC titled this [...]

put your hands up in the air if you, like me, love Anberlin . it seems i can never get enough of this Florida-based fivesome. 'Adelaide' is one of their best tracks to date and one that has managed to clock up an impressive 58 plays on my iTunes - a seriously fantastic feat considering i usually get bored of songs really quickly. if you enjoy that, let me know and i'll get some more (equally good) tunes up from the guys' third album 'Cities' . Anberlin - 'Adelaide' mp3 [...]

Shall we start the new month of May with a theme song for life? Eh, I don't know if you could call it that, but I certainly am digging this track. Nothing new, good old Anberlin, gotta love 'em. Come and go now as you please Your actions write the melodies To those songs that we sing And you just sing And I finally found that life goes on without you And my world still turns when you're not around Is this the way you want it? Is this the way it [...]
Everyone is pretty sick of these lists by now, but I had to throw my two cents in like everyone else. So take a quick glance, and post a comment about how I'm obviously deaf and perhaps mildly retarded. Making this, I was expecting to go on a diatribe about how bad a year '07 was for music, but I realized there were actually plenty of albums I liked. Some of my favorites disappointed (looking at you White Stripes), and many of the blog flavor-of-the-months didn't hold up to the hype (sorry Arcade Fire). However, there's [...]
Sorry for being away for so long. Hopefully this long post makes up for my absence, and I assure you there is more to come... The Photo Atlas No, the next greatest dance-punk band doesn't come from England. Unlike recent ATG writees Foreign Islands, Colorado's The Photo Atlas delves less into electronics and instead prides itself on the punk aspect of their music. When listening to these guys, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic - on their 2007 reissue of No, [...]

Thanks to friends, I am loving The Office right now. Everything in it makes me laugh hysterically -- even the stupid stuff. Not many shows can do that. It honestly reminds me of office life. The office politics, the meetings, the various types of people. Granted, I would love to have Steve Carrell as my boss. It would make the day more interesting. It's one of those shows that I can watch whenever I'm in the mood for mindless entertainment and not feel guilty. I just wish I [...]
