Watch Out - The Decemberists
who: The Decemberists
why: released a video for "The Rake's Song" off of this year's release 'The Hazards of Love'. I'm not the biggest fan of the band, although I do like this album... but the video is pretty sweet.
New Release Tuesday - October 13th, 2009
who: The Flaming Lips | Say Anything (disappointment)
why: because The Flaming Lips just released 'Embryonic' which is sure to have at least one of TWENTY songs turn out to be catchy enough to get stuck in your domepiece.
also... Say Anything's new album 'Hate Everyone' was originally supposed to be released today... but their myspace now says it will be released on November 3rd. Laaaaame.
Say Anything - Hate Everyone
If you haven't heard the single, you can at least stream that here.

In the Fresh - Motion City Soundtrack
who: Motion City Soundtrack
why: holy shitballs, Chicago. If you're a Motion fan you need to hear this. They just announced they'll be playing a three day show at the new Lincoln Hall December 18th - 20th.
December 18th - I Am the Movie
December 19th - Commit This to Memory
December 20th - Even If It Kills Me
That's right. They're playing all three albums in three days. Coheed did this awhile back in New York and I bet it was the shit... just go.
Tickets are $20 a night or $50 for a three day pass. I'm gonna make it for the 18th for sure.
See you there?
Official details here.

tf presents - these girls fall like dominos (autumn.oh.nine)
who: me
why: I decided to follow in the footsteps of another and make a mix of some songs to get me geared up for the current fall weather. It's time to take it down from the riotous anthems of summer and class it up for a leaf-crunching walk on the quad. Think slower, buzzy, temperately sad but uplifting... cool, fresh and clean. Mmm. I don't miss Summer even a little bit.

Bundle Up! (with covers) will be released on the first day there's snow! so be on the lookout.

Eyegasm - Zombieland
who: Zombieland
why: it was like a funnier, action-packed, white men can't jump better version of Adventureland. The similarities are hard to ignore. Lead actor... check. Similar (but better) female actor... check. Amusement Park... check.
Not quite as good as Shaun of the Dead, but it wasn't trying to be... it was just a solid, good movie that I'll definitely watch again, and sometimes the subtle quiet ones are the ones that stick out.
Rating: 
fasho.
fasho. Premature Infatuation? - Dashboard Confessional
who: Dashboard Confessional
why: I'm not sure if I really care, but their new single "Belle of the Boulevard" is now streaming on their myspace. If you're a big fan, then you're looking forward to November 10th, when their cd 'Alter the Ending' will be in stores.
