Is it that time of the month already? No, but it is time for your Album Art + Lyric of the Day recap. Trust me, this'll be nice. As always, you can click through to find out more about the artists we've featured on Lyric of the Day. There's also the lyric roundup after the jump ;) "You've got a job you hate. You get home too late." Mingus - I'm from Barcelona [...]
I love videos that combine childhood imagination with young love. There's just something so beautifully vulnerable about it. Also, it helps that Letting Up Despite Great Faults creates such magical songs that make you fall instantly in love. Letting Up Despite Great Faults ' Our Younger Noise is our Video of the Week.

Photography by Mariah Good friend and fan of Tsururadio (I'm assuming) James Thurber once said, "There is no safety in numbers, or in anything else." That may well be true, Mr. Thurber, you scoundrel, but I've found over the years numbers can elicit much emotion, from the highest joys to the greatest frustrations to the darkest misery. Twenty million, a very happy number when it's the amount you won in the lottery, not so much when it's the amount your company lost last year. It's not even the [...]
Half Man Half Biscuit - Blue Badge Abuser (Probe Plus) Taken from the new album "CSI Ambleside". Buy Here Bardot Pond - A Tune (Three Lobed Recordings) Taken from the new mini album thingy "Batholith" which is apparently just a small compilation of stuff they just had lying around. There are only six tracks on here but every one's a winner. The Wedding Present - Boo Boo (Pinnacle) Another track from the new album "El Ray". Out 26th April. [...]
In honor of Jess' first-ever visit to the left west coast, I offer up some of the choices tracks about the jewel of the pacific. Sadly, some much-needed key songs about Seattle are missing (by Anti-Flag or Jeffrey Lewis, for example), so if any of you have these, feel free to share the love. Songs about Seattle (and her neighbors): Nirvana - Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle.mp3
Dass auf Island die musikalischen Uhren etwas anders ticken, ist ja ein häufig zu beobachtendes Phänomen. So spielt auch mein heutiger Tipp (danke an Dominik für den Hinweis!), das Quintett Jakobinarina , ihren Indierock etwas anders, als man das von vielen Skandinaviern z.B. gewohnt ist. Denn es geht etwas punkiger zu Werke und mit großer Dynamik und Spielfreude, wobei auch der britische Einfluss schwerlich zu überhören ist. Das Debütalbum «The first crusade » ist vor einiger Weile erschienen, und um dieses vorzustellen, tourt Jakobinarina [...]
Tronik Youth is poised and ready to invade the world in 2008. He just finished a teaser West Coast dj tour and even got to dip into Mexico, but the best is yet to come. Let's begin with this track. Jakobinarina managed to snag Tronik to remix.....no, reinvent their track 'Jesus.' It's rumored that he finished this little gem in a mere two day timespan, but i highly doubt that....i mean, listen to it!! Jakobinarina - Jesus (Tronik Youth rmx) Next up is a remix for [...]
This week's mix: some soul, some country, some 80's college rock, and some good old Boston punk. As usual, if you like the music, go buy it, preferably at a real store that could actually use your money. Because these songs are only here until next week's mix goes up. (And if you're not sure how to actually make your mix, click here .) 1. Ann Peebles, I Can't Stand The Rain 2. The Colourfield, Castles In The Air 3. Night Canopy, Seasick [...]

Wer nicht wegen dem " isländischen Sellout " ans Kaiser Chiefs-Konzert geht, der sollte es wegen den Silversun Pickups tun. Die LA-Band hat meiner Meinung nach das beste Album des letzten Jahres abgeliefert. Ende Oktober wird dieses Album, Carnavas , auch in der Schweiz offiziell veröffentlicht, und das besteht, glaubt mir, vollständig aus Hits. Die Silversun Pickups teilen nicht nur dieselben Initialten wie die Smashing Pumpkins, sondern sie tönen auch verdächtig danach. Zum Glück allerdings eher nach "Siamese Dream" als nach "Zeitgeist". In den USA sind sie nach einer Tour mit Snow Patrol und ihren [...]
So, over the past few weeks, our Mondays have been filled with talks of bands that are playing the Iceland Airwaves Festival . Luck have it, the week is finally here. To stay up to date throughout the duration of the festival, make sure you hit up their official site for more details. The last band we'll be covering is Iceland's answer to garage rock, Jakobinarina . Fusing their love of punk from the Clash and the Sex Pistols with a hint [...]
Jakobinarina are from Iceland. This isn't particularly relevant beyond the fact that upon listening you will instantly think they should "foreign" and may be curious as to where they are from. They are all between 16 and 20 too, but they don't sound young. They sound like a band who have been doing this years, both in technical ability and, more noticably, the sound that manages to rise from the singer's vocal chords. This is a band that wants to rock pretty hard, and they do so, most of the their songs over and done [...]

Twelve Thursday Tunes for you: Jakobinarina - This is an Advertisement (great track from the Icelandic band Jakobinarina! Funny lyrics and high energy all the way!
