Can I just say, although I am not fully on the Raphael Saadiq bandwagon, that Stone Rollin’ is probably my favorite album cover of the year:
PS - I do like just don’t, and over you. The latter is probably a much less popular track.

Raphael Saadiq - Just Don’t (Live on KEXP)
Raphael Saadiq @Trianon - Over You[/quote]
Raphael Saadiq has evolved just a bit of the years…

Funny story about Raphael Saadiq a couple of weeks ago. He was in the office/studios for a Sessions performance on the 13th. The crew bought him a cake for his birthday (14th) for after the performance, a beautiful music note cake. Anyhow, after the set performance, the crew walks to grab the cake. They find a chunk of the cake had been sliced and left on the table were two turtles, one in a red cage.
I’ll post videos of the performance after they go through post-production.
Umphrey’s McGee-Higgins
Also been watching them live on iclips -
I’ve been in a real metal mood lately. These guys are siiick! Toughest breakdown i’ve heard in a long time. Great circle pit at 2:06

Parkway will always be one of my favorite bands.
Give these guys a try:
Wow! They are pretty awesome! I really like the moving keys and how they actually use them for some melody rather than “dark ominous tones” in the background like most.
Jeff the Brotherhood has a new album out. They are a two piece band out of Nashville. Very garage rock stuff. Lots of psychedelic vibes and heavy riffs[font=calibri]. [/font]Terrible name though.

Since there wasn’t anything that interested me or my son at Speedstreet this year, we went to see Sugar Glyder at Amos’ this past Friday. A very good performance and a pretty decent crowd as well.
I really like the new beastie boys cd. Make Some Noise is a great song and a great video too.
Just finished listening to My Morning Jacket’s Circuital in its entirety. Really looking forward to their Charlotte show in August!
BTW, just read that The Cure played a couple of shows this week at the Sydney Opera House. Robert Smith & Co. performed the band’s first 3 albums: Three Imaginary Boys, Seventeen Seconds and Faith. Also marked a reunion with former keyboardists Lol Tolhurst and Roger O’Donnell, though guitarist (and Smith’s brother-in-law) Porl Thompson was conspicously absent. Anyway, if these were anything like the marathon concert they put on in Charlotte back in 2008, then the Aussies were treated to quite a couple of shows!
SiriusXMU just ran a perfect driving combo… Bon Iver - Calgary, Deerhunter - Coronado, Arcade Fire - Speaking in Tongues.
Pure bliss on a stormy night.
I mighta preferred Culture War, but that was still great.
[font=calibri]The Rosebuds - Loud Planes Fly Low[/font]
[font=calibri]My copy is in the mail… yay! [/font]
[font=calibri]That Bon Iver track is effing owning me right now though. Good lord that’s amazing.[/font]
More Rosebuds… go go NC bands!
Bon Iver - Calgary just doesn’t get old to me, though the official video is just a ridiculous mess of pretention. I wont even post it. I won’t post Dirty Beaches - Lord Knows Best for the same reason, even if I caught myself humming it.
This isn’t as ambitious as Rolled Together… but I like it:
The Antlers - I Don’t Want Love (album version)
It’s time to stop pretending I don’t love Washed Out - Eyes Be Closed, but I’d rather not hear the term “chillwave” again anytime soon.
Oh, and I’m still back on Deerhunter… Deerhunter - Desire Lines Why is this so much better than I remember?
IMO they sound like an early, american version Belle & Sebastian. I always ran hot & cold on B&S, so not sure if I like this. I’ll give it another listen.
Love that girl’s voice, like those falsettos starting around the 3 minute mark, how she enunciates words ending in -ing.
new Fleet Foxes, Death Cab for Cutie, City and Colour, and Bon Iver are things to check out
