From the Decemberists’ upcoming release “The Hazards of Love” is “Hazards of Love 1 (The Prettiest Whistles Wonāt Wrestle the Thistles Undone).” The album is set to drop March 24, and will probably be all politically charged and full of cute and sad romance and despair. Check out the track list and the song, along… Continue reading New Decemberists track: “Hazards of Love 1”

New Yeah Yeah Yeahs: “Zero”
Well, the first single from Yeah Yeah Yeahs new album, It’s Blitz!, was supposed to have a grand unveiling later this month, but it looks like “Zero” has leaked about two weeks early.

“I Am The Real Santo Gold”
Jeweler/infomercial star/musician??/worst person of 2009 Santo Gold officially wrestled the name from super cool musician Santogold, after all kinds of a legal mess. As if making Santogold change her name to Santigold wasn’t enough, he made a terrible rap/spoken word/mess about how right he is. The best part? You can buy the song from his… Continue reading “I Am The Real Santo Gold”

Greycoats: “Melodramatic Popular Song”
…Or so it says on their MySpace. Sounds a bit Coldplay-ish no? But don’t worry, no Chris Martin involved, I promise. And you know, adjectives like melodramatic tend to draw people like me in. What can I say, i’m suuuuper melancholic. Ā Sort of. Actually, not really, but that’s the music I love. And I love… Continue reading Greycoats: “Melodramatic Popular Song”
