Here's two non 'Diary' tracks from the defunct Sunny Day Real Estate. One from 'LP2' and 'How It Feels To Be Something On'. I wonder if they could pull Nate Mendel away from the stadium concerts to form a reunion? Seems to be the trend these days.

From a weekend of listening to 'Hazards of Love', this is the tune that's standing out for me, coming in second, to "The Wanting Comes In Waves" which is available at other sites on The Hype Machine. The production is quite lush, and I think the direction slightly different for Colin Meloy and gang. Check out 'Won't Want For Love' below. Preorder 'The Hazards of Love' at Insound here .

Yes, it looks a bit contrived, but hopefully this movie will still deliver some laughs. Todd Phillips directed "The Hangover" stars Bradley Cooper, super funny Zach Galifianakis, and Ed Helms from The Office. Keep an eye out for the Mike Tyson cameo in the trailer. Big thanks to YourMomFanClub for sharing this. Check out the trailer above, and a track from the Walkmen for your weekend, below.

I'm never been too hot on live albums, but here's a few off of the Death Cab For Cutie 'Something About Airplanes' reissue.

Check out "Fake Frowns" and a cover of "Sweet & Tender Hooligans". Death Cab For Cutie's reissue can be purchased here . "Fake Frowns" by Death Cab For Cutie Download via [...]
"My Maudlin Career" by Camera Obscura , will be released on April 21st, on the still wonderful 4AD Records. I can't tell you how many lonely nerds I've heard in my lifetime comment on this Camera Obscura album cover . I think the general consensus amongst them was, "Now there's two non-threatening ladies that look like they wouldn't be totally mean to me and make me feel like shit! It also looks like they'd tolerate my obsessive music collection!". Of course they are. Check out "The Sweetest Thing" below. Also, preorder "My Maudlin [...]
San Francisco band Girls, sure make it hard to find them via Google. Results include various locations in the city of San Francisco where sex slaves are or used to be.

For fans of The Black Lips, I highly suggest Austin, Texas' Strange Boys. Their In The Red Records release 'And Girls Club', is a 16 song psychedelic romp through what is seemingly another era. Check out "Woe Is You and Me" and "Should Have Shot Paul" below. Check out their MySpace page here .
