Premature Infatuation - Vampire Weekend
who: Vampire Weekend
why: because I've somehow managed to ignore Vampire Weekend until now, when I have a song about horchata stuck in my head... Their new release 'Contra' will be released January 12th of next year.
'Horchata'

Watch Out - Community
who: NBC's new show 'Community'
why: because I like this show and you should watch it. If you don't watch it, you probably won't understand why this is funny.
"Yeah boi. Boi... what?!... It's 2009."
Premature Infatuation - Andrew W.K.
who: Andrew W.K.
why: because he released '55 Cadillac on September 8th and it's apparently filled with classical style piano as opposed to his usual songs about partying and partying harder. I've heard he's actually a pretty talented musician but it's hard to take him seriously... I just have no idea what it's going to sound like and I'm pumped regardless of if it's good or the worst thing I ever heard. It's nice to know there's no way I'm going to be disappointed. You can check out a preview of it on his myspace page, or get the album on iTunes or here.

Boycottage - Fall Out Boy
who: Fall Out Boy
why: they're releasing a Greatest Hits CD?! Are you kidding me!? This just seems ridiculous. I first heard of Fall Out Boy when I was in 7th grade, it's been 10 years since then and they're releasing a Greatest Hits CD? I'm not gonna knock on Fall Out Boy, people like to hate them and say they sold out (because Infinity On High was one of the worst things I've ever heard, I agree) but they deserve the credit they've got and they've worked extremely hard for it but seriously. This is taking it to a whole new level. They've been non stop producing and playing tours, so I understand if they finally need to take a fucking break and settle down for awhile, but they're money whores. It's shameless and depressing.
On a side note, I commend drummer Andy Hurley for continuing his passion for music as he is working on putting out a new record with hardcore band Burning Empires. Check em out.
Here's the track list for the album which is set to drop in November:
1. Dead on Arrival
2. Grand Theft Autumn
3. Saturday
4. Sugar, We're Goin' Down
5. Dance, Dance
6. A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me
7. This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race
8. Thnx Fr Th Mmrs
9. The Takeover, The Break's Over
10. I'm Like a Lawyer the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off
11. Beat It
12. I Don't Care
13. America's Suitehearts
14. What a Catch, Donnie
15. New Song
16. New Song

Watch Out - The Snake The Cross The Crown
who: The Snake the Cross the Crown
why: because once you watch this short sneak peak at what is about to turn into a full-length documentary premiering at The Lousiville International Festival of Film, you will both immediately love the band and be able to connect with all musicians on a whole different level. Once you stop to take the time to think about how much dedication and sacrifice is put into a record that you might not ever even get the pleasure of listening to... it's really a tremendous realization.
Support the band by checking out their latest album Cotton Teeth.
Premature Infatuation - Zombieland
who: Zombieland
why: because you know it won't be as good as Shaun of the Dead but damnit, you're pumped anyways. Zombieland hits theaters this Friday (tomorrow, October 2nd) so GO!

Don't Call It a Comeback! - Sunny Day Real Estate
