Attention! - Titus Andronicus

who: Titus Andronicus

why: because they've been around since 2005, but they're new to me. I've just run through my first listen of this year's release 'The Monitor', and I can already tell it's going to grow on me. Think Desaparecidos meets Japandroids meets Silversun Pickups... or something like that. This album, inspired by the puzzling combination of the Civil War and a broken heart, is already on its way to making a run for album of the year in my book.

tf: absolutely.

Premature Infatuation - B.o.B.

who: B.o.B. ft. Hayley Williams (Paramore)

why: because she went hip-hop, and I kinda like it. Anyone else? B.o.B's album 'B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray' drops April 27th.

B.o.B - Airplanes ft. Hayley Williams of Paramore [Explicit] by Atlantic Records

WE'LL DO IT FOR THE KIDS!

who: Beach House and Fang Island

why: keep em off the street with music. God knows we don't need more kindergarteners smoking pots.

VOTW - April 9, 2010

who: Freelance Whales

why: are the shit. I was really pumped when I heard they made a video for this song ("Generator ^ 2nd Floor"). It's one of the best singles I've heard in a long time - definitely my choice for last year's song of the year (maybe tied with Manchester Orchestra's "I Can Feel a Hot One")... but either way check out the new vid.

WE'LL DO IT ACOUSTIC!

Suck it Dex, this is a pretty solid live version.

Watch Out - Letting Up

who: Letting Up Despite Great Faults

why: because I'm digging the whole shoegaze, electrically-buzzy genre lately and these guys do it best. This WAS going to be tomorrow's video of the week, but it got replaced... which means you're in for a treat tomorrow. With that said, this video is adorable.

Watch Out - Circa Survive

who: Circa Survive

why: have released the first video off of their soon to be released 'Blue Sky Noise' for "Get Out". I can't wait to hear this album. Get it in stores April 20th or preorder it here.

Premature Infatuation - Dinner for Schmucks

who: Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Zach Galifianakis

why: because I missed Brick from Anchorman. And now he's back. Coming to theaters July 23rd.

Watch Out - Weezer

who: Weezer

why: have posted a new video for "I'm Your Daddy" from last year's 'Raditude'. Weezer F Baby.

LMAO! - Auto-Tune the News #11

who: Auto-Tune the News #11 (schmoyoho)

why: because it's the best thing Joel Madden (Good Charlotte) has ever done.

WE'LL DO IT ACOUSTIC! - The Temper Trap

who: The Temper Trap

why: perform their song "Sweet Disposition" (aka "the song from 500 Days of Summer") down in Texas on a break from SXSW.
