Thursday Night Fights - March 11, 2010

who: Coheed and Cambria

why: in anticipation for this year's prequel album 'Year of the Black Rainbow', I've decided to propose the question over which era of Coheed people prefer... I can't help but love Claudio Sanchez... the dude's hair has more charisma than you, but this whole "I can't decide what genre i'm in mix of metal riffs and mythologically epic vocals" thing is getting a little bit old. Anyone else miss old Coheed besides me?

NEW! Thursday Night Fights - March 4, 2010

I'm liking these weekly things I've been trying to do lately... keeps me up on my shit, so here's a chance for you to settle the debate I've been having with friends and myself lately...

Last year's debut from Freelance Whales ('Weathervanes') is being rivaled in terms of incredible musicianship, performance and style by this year's debut from Local Natives ('Gorilla Manor')... and it's pretty hard for me to choose a favorite. Who would you take?
