First, for those who don’t know, I saw Where The Wild Things Are, and it was really, really good. Not even playin’. So, I’m a little partial to the soundtrack. It has the same raw, childish energy from the movie. Although some tracks are duds, others like All is Love and Capsize make me laugh with all that spelling. What’s that about?
And Hideaway, personal favorite.
Built to Spill as a band has been around for quite a while. This is the first track off their latest album. They’re kind of like Modest Mouse crossed with… Modest Mouse. That’s all I got. If you really love this song, check out their CD, if you only really like this song, buy it alone from iTunes and save your money on the rest. There’s nothing wrong with the album; it just peaks with this song. Cool artwork, though.
Here’s a free download for Atlas Sound‘s Walkabout. Sweet song!
Need a little Brit [non]Pop in your diet? I thought you might. The Big Pink!
With his James Dean-esque hair cut and mild departure from his normal, uh, stuff, John Mayer‘s latest single Who Says is actually kind of okay. But when I listen to it, I can’t help but feel there’s still this nagging something holding on to me. Something that won’t just let me say, ‘yeah, that was a good song.’ Maybe it’s those little moments in the video where he looks at the camera. Or the way they do the Garden State swimming pool scene. I’m not sure. Give it a watch, and let me know what you.
