Watch Out - New Found Glory

who: New Found Glory

why: put out a video for "Don't Let Her Pull You Down" from this year's 'Not Without a Fight'. Jordan looks old, but I like his shirt. Ian... if you're reading... you've always been my favorite. lawls.

WE'LL DO IT ACOUSTIC! - Portugal. The Man

who: Portugal. The Man

why: this is a relatively old video for things I tend to post on here, but I keep finding it in different places, and I like it a lot, so I decided to post it. Also, for Josie, because they're touring in Europe soon and I failed to give you their CDs, you should at least watch this. I'm convinced you'll fall in love with JBG (guitar) faster than you can say "bullocks".

Read All About It - Blink 182

who: Blink 182

why: because you will always remember how hot the nurse on the 'Enema of the State' album cover was, and now they're releasing it on vinyl. 500 of these are set to be printed in four different styles (2000 total), and you can bet die-hards will go crazy to get their hands on one. Independent punk/hardcore label Mightier Than Sword Records will be releasing them December 1st, but they will be on sale October 19th (next Monday).

Premature Infatuation - Say Anything

who: Say Anything

why: because they screwed you and pushed back 'Hate Everyone' and they wanna say they're sorry? They've just posted "Eloise" from said album... my favorite of the two sneak peeks, but I'm still not sure if it's gonna match '...Is a Real Boy'. Bemis is still one of my favorite lyricists because of that album, so be sure to check out 'Hate Everyone' when it comes out November 3rd.

Watch Out - The Roots and Eminem

who: The Roots and Eminem
why: do a siiiiick honor to LL Cool J's "Rock the Bell" on the VH1 Honors Def Jam show the other night. Rick Rubin is my idol.

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.

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?

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.

This was pretty fun, so be sure to look for more "tf presents" in the future.
