Hi, we're the Black Angels... /* Tracklist: 1. Entrance Song 2. Bad Vibrations 3.

The night after opening for The Kills in Pomona, the Austin-based psychedelic rock band headlined their own show at El Rey Theatre. Glazed eyes and grooving bodies flowed to the tunes from the band's third album, Phosphene Dream . The band sounded tighter than ever with Christian Bland working his Rickenbacker, Alex Mass's soothing vocals, bad-ass Stephanie Bailey on drums, and Kyle Hunt and Nate Ryan switching instruments and sharing vox.

I was thinking this morning that I never did do a "Best of..." list for either 2009 or 2010. It's a bit of a daunting task the way I do it, but in anticipation of doing that, I put together a list of 25 songs from last year that I really enjoyed, and I figured I might as well share that, six months late be damned. The rankings are rough at best, but give a general idea, and it'll be a nice preview for the album list if I ever get around to that. Because this is gonna [...]
