why: it's the next movie I'm looking forward to... I don't care how terrible it is, I'm 93% sure I'll like it anyways. Premiering in theaters on April 16th, Rotten Tomatoes has it currently listed at a 95% with 20 fresh previews and surprisingly only 1 rotten.

Q&A - Nard Dawg
who: Ed Helms

Attention! - The Kissaway Trail
who: The Kissaway Trail
why: so I've been hella slacking on the blogosphere lately... and it's for a good reason - SPRING BREAK! But I had to post this, because I was with my friend Matt checkin out The Temper Trap last night at the Metro and these dudes were the opening group... and fresh from Denmark - they owned. Seriously, every song sounded like the epic ending to a Spike Jonze movie or something... and I got the album immediately. So should you.
Here's the only music video I found on the YouTubes for their song - "SDP"

Attention! - Twin Atlantic
who: Twin Atlantic
why: is an energetically charming quartet from Glasgow, Scotland that I was lucky enough to see on tour last week when they opened for The Fall of Troy, and these dudes brought it. It was the first show of the tour, their first time in America I believe, and they were jet lagged as a mother but put out an amazing show anyways. Their the first band I've heard in a long time that I genuinely have fun listening to, and if you're not impressed with the tracks upon first listen - go see them live and let me know if you've changed your mind. Their latest 8-song EP titled 'Vivarium' came out last year. Go get it!

Watch Out - A Day to Remember
who: A Day to Remember
why: have been taking a lot of heat on the interwebs lately... and I don't know why. People keep trying to make comparisons to Four Year Strong, but I know for a fact they don't give a shit what you think they sound like if you're drinking that gay-torade (it's funny cuz they're from Florida)... Also how has no one else ever made that joke? These dudes have fun playing the music they make, and if you've seen them live you'll understand why their fans love them so much. But anyways, I'm done ranting. Check out their new video for "I'm Made of Wax Larry, What Are You Made Of?" off of last year's 'Homesick'.
New Release Tuesday - March 16, 2010
This week's unrated notables:
- Envy on the Coast - 'LowCountry'
- The White Stripes - 'Under Great White Northern Lights'
[03.]
The Audition - 'Great Danger'
tf: ehhh. 
It's all been downhill for me since 'Controversy Loves Company'... It seems like they've been focusing harder on making records than music, and it's honestly getting pretty old.
[02.]
Streetlight Manifesto - '99 Songs of a Revolution Vol. I'
tf: ehhh.
A good attempt at a cover album... but it's still a cover album. They're fun and I might listen to a track here and there, but the album as a whole doesn't really do it for me... and I don't see how anyone would be super excited to listen to a double-digit amount of covers at once. They're an awesome band - they just need to write some new stuff.
[01.]
From First to Last - 'Throne to the Wolves'
tf: aight. 
Besides the fact that the quality of the recordings that I listened to were a little lacking, this is a pretty decent album. People used to love to hate Sonny, and will probably continue to hate this band - but I'm not into politicizing... I like how it sounds.
Next Week:
- The Dillinger Escape Plan - 'Option Paralysis'
- I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business - 'The World We Know'
- Look Mexico - 'To Bed to Battle'
- She & Him - 'Volume Two'
