Midlake - The Old and The Young

alex on November 04 2013

Midlake returns- this time with a new singer. I was skeptical about this album but it grew on me pretty quickly. For those not familiar with Midlake their singer/songwriter left the band to fend for themselves. Eric Pulido, their guitarist, stepped up to bat at vocals. Personally I don't think Midlake has ever sounded better, so rock on Eric Pulido and Midlake for your perseverance. I'll leave you with a quote from Pulido responding to why the band stuck together - "I remember Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips once told us â€” a long time ago, when they graciously had us on tour â€” he said, 'You know, if I could give you one piece of advice ... .' And we're all waiting with bated breath to hear what Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips would send down from heaven and give us this piece of advice. And he says, 'Just stay together.' You know, it was so simple, but it's right," Pulido says. "If it's there, keep going."

Darkside - Paper Trails

There is so much music that comes into the world everyday that I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed. I mean, I reached my maximum of peoples names that I can remember about 8 years ago. So... I'm pretty much fucked. I need an intern just for reminding me of songs I like. A braintern. Sorry brainterns, I can't offer college credit. Or money.

Lucius - Hey, Doreen

I'm finally coming up for air. I've been working freelance in house the past week and a half + coming home then doing work for my other clients - hence the lack of posts. The finish line is finally in sight and soon I can return to my usual routine of thinking of funny stuff to write on this semi-alright blog, working 1-2 hours a day, and doing 2-4 hours of jiu jitsu a day. I have my priorities totally in check.

Ty Segall - The Keepers

I think the most terrifying thing would be to have a functioning mind and a failing body. Trapped inside like a silent prison with no escape. That and Velociraptors.

Phantogram - Black Out Days

I'd like to propose the idea of a giant space heater to heat all of New York City during the Winter. Who's on board?

Night Panther - Delta

Night Panther has the good stuff. You know, the right stuff. The stuff that separates the men from the boys.

YACHT - Phychic City (Classixx Remix)

This song literally made me happy. I wasn't happy and then I heard this. Take note psychiatrists of the world. I have stumbled upon audio prozac.

Mansions on the Moon - It's Not Too Late (ft. Paper Diamond)

For fuck's sake iPhone if I wanted to type ducking I'd type ducking. No one in the history of iPhone's has had their typo corrected to ducking. iPhones - correcting explicit rants to be humorous since 2007.

Son Lux - Lost It To Trying

Looks like our host, Media Temple, was just bought by internet scum Go Daddy. For those who aren't privy - Go Daddy supported SOPA and PIPA which were essentially monetizing and censoring the internet. So real talk - fuck Go Daddy... they were a shit company even before they showed their ugly side. With that said it's pretty apparent I wont be giving my hosting money to Go Daddy. Seems as good a time as any to do round 6 of left as rain - this time not hosted by the devil.
