Premature Infatuation - Where the Wild Things Are

who: Where the Wild Things Are / Spike Jonze / Karen O and the Kids / Max Records

when: October 16th, 2009 (rotten tomatoes)

why: There is so much to say about the anticipation of this movie, I don't even know where to start. We've all read the book. I remember fighting with kids in the elementary school library just to be on the waiting list to check out this book. Spike Jonze directing. An amazing, original soundtrack by Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and the Kids. And this kid Max Records is going to slay at the award shows, I'm telling you. I'm just really pumped all around to see it, and I don't know how much longer I can wait.

Read All About It - Suburban Home

who: Suburban Home Records / Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground

I obviously recommend their album:

Eargasm: The Stiletto Formal - ¡Fiesta, Fiesta, Fiesta, Fiesta!

who: The Stiletto Formal
when: 2008 release ¡Fiesta, Fiesta, Fiesta, Fiesta!
why: I'm an idiot. I've known about these guys for years and never checked out their work. I was ready to give this a 4.0 "fasho" until I heard 'Sleeping Our Way to the Top' which pretty much perfectly wraps up the way I view the music industry. This is an essential. Go get it.

Rating: yaysh.

In the Fresh - Minus the Bear

who: Minus the Bear

when: October 5th - November 28th

why: Minus the Bear is the second band I care about today to announce they will be playing a short tour before the release of their new album! These guys are one of my all time favorite bands, and I have yet to see them live, so you can bet your ass I will be at the DeKalb, IL show on November 21st. If you don't know who they are, you've been living in a hole - as they were the first band to present math-rock to me in an acceptable form. Check out the tour dates here, listen to some music, and if you like em, buy my favorite release of theirs - 'Highly Refined Pirates'. It's a must have for everyone.

Here's their video for "Knights" off of their latest full-length 'Planet of Ice'

Watch Out - Pencil Beats

who: not quite sure.

why: cuz he crafted a song better than 98% of what you hear on the radio using only pencils, rhymes and pent-up frustration resulting from his boredom in history class.

In the Fresh - Lydia

who: Lydia

what: Final tour dates for songs from 'This Decemeber, It's One More Time and I'm Free' and 'Illuminate'

why: You need to go see these guys play. In the video below, they claim this tour will be your last chance to see them perform music from their first two full-length releases. 'Illiminate' is one of my favorite records to this day, and while I'm super excited they're going to be recording more NEW music for you and I to listen to, I'm definitely going to have to find a way to hear them play their old stuff before it's too late.

Select shows with: Straylight Run, PlayRadioPlay!, Anarbor, All the Day Holiday, Brother George and Camera Can't Lie

TOUR DATES HERE!

By the way, isn't Mindy White gorgeous?... Wow. AND she's wearing a Journey T-shirt...

In the Fresh - Look Mexico

who: Look Mexico

why: They just announced their upcoming full-length album will be titled 'To Bed To Battle' as well as these September Tour Dates in New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Ohio, Illinois and Tennessee. If you have never heard of these guys you should definitely check them out on their myspace for new(er) music, or give a quick listen to 'You're Not Afraid of the Dark, Are You?' off of their latest EP Gasp Asp.

Boycottage - Rise Against

who: Rise Against announced they will soon begin work on a new album after their Australian tour ends in Febraury of next year.

why: I will admit that I actually liked one of their CDs... but after that every song started sounding the same. Now I don't even remember what that album was called or one memorable song title from it because their rise to "fame" turned them into pertentious douches.

Look at this album cover.

If you didn't laugh uncomfortably from how stupid this is... you're probably kind of a douche too.
