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'
