The Black Keys have sure showed everyone what some heart and blues can do in todays over-saturated music market. Walking away with 3 Grammy awards is a a pretty big way to set yourself out from the crowd. I do rather hope, though, people are already aware of the bounty of amazing songs present on Brothers. Sinister Kid is one of those album tracks you probably haven’t gotten around to hearing, so do yourself a favor and take a listen this song about a demented youth.

Song of the Day! The Airborne Toxic Event – Changing
The Airborne Toxic Event- Now thats a name I haven’t heard in quite some time. It has been well over two years since TABE saw initial success with their debut self-titled album. Contrary to what the title of their latest single says the band hasn’t done too much Changing. To me it’s the same amazing dependable Airborne Toxic Event that I remember of yesteryear. If their new album, All At Once, is anything like their last then I’m perfectly content with the same old rhythmic rocking these guys (and gal) bring to the table. New album is out April 26th stateside.
EDIT: Video won’t stream through wordpress. Sorry that you have to click the video and watch it on youtube.
Song of the Day! ANR – Big Problem
ANR have a Big Problem from Miami. FL
Oh those fluctuating Oh-oh-Oh-oh-Oh’s; I feel like I just jumped into a time machine set to the late 80’s. ANR, short for Awesome New Republic, bring us their own brand of indie electronic music with the release of their new album Stay Kids, which came out earlier this month. Their lead single ‘Big Problem’ gets me all energized and gives me the urge to get up and jog in place rapidly as though I’m in a workout video. I’m looking forward to exploring the new album and maybe breaking a sweat as I dance relentlessly to whatever sick jams I may find on it.
Song of the Day! Tricky – Murder Weapon
Tricky garnishes his Murder Weapon in England
Duh-na-nuh-na-nuh-na-nuh-na-nuh[x2] Is that the Blues Brothers I hear? In this reworking of the orignal dancehall hit ‘Murder Weapon’, Tricky combines the Peter Gunn Theme with his and Frankly Riley’s vocals to create something they can call their own. I don’t know if it’s the simple lyrics about guns or the catchy and recognizable bassline that makes this track stand out, but I’m all about this track right now. So just turn it up loud and cruise around town and see how difficult it is not to sing along and feel like a boss. You can get this and more from Tricky’s latest album Mixed Races which came out last fall.
Song of the Day! Cake – Long Time
Damn straight it’s been a long time since I’ve heard some fresh Cake! 7 years of waiting and finally Cake drops Showroom of Compassion on us. I haven’t had a chance to dig into the album yet but from hearing Sick of You and Long Time, i’m pretty much sold. That awesome signature Cake sound is clearly present but I’m also loving the new style that shows Cake has done something with the last half decade. I just can’t get enough of this awesome jam!
