Tracks
1. The Generationals - Ten-Twenty-Ten - the best moment in this song is the :04 mark, when you realize it is not actually this song.
2. The Spires - TAM - a simple idea, perfectly executed. I have yet to delve into the back catalog but am excited to do so.
3. Motel Beds - Obey Your Lunch - from one of the best albums of the spring; I absolutely love the drums on this track. Check the whole thing out.
4. Yuck - The Wall - I am still not completely sold on the album, but this song pushes all the right nostalgia buttons, and puts me square back in 1996-1997. Pretty sure these guys were about 5 years old back then.
5. Mars Classroom - Man!Wine!Power! - of the 3 releases from Robert Pollard already this year, Mars Classroom is my favorite. I love/hate the rhythm guitar tone on this song; it's so unlike anything else he's done in the past 5 years.
6. Tim Cohen - I Am Never Going To Die - from the lead singer of Fresh and Onlys; I hope this album doesn't get overlooked. I actually bought it twice on Amazon (honest mistake), so if anyone wants a free digital copy (without taxing your conscience), let me know - it's already been paid for.
7. BOAT - Forever In Armitron - just a good guitar rock song from a good guitar rock band.
8. Surf City - Headin' Inside - these guys are from New Zealand and have a new album out that I still need to listen to. This song's from an older release and is really good, obviously.
9. Woods - Pushing Onlys - my song of the spring. Sure, it sounds pretty similar to To Clean, but that was also a great song.
