Tom Waits!!!

 If you're like me and love Tom Waits then this news will knock you off your seat.
Today he announced via twitter that he's working on his new album.
I'm really looking forward to some new material from him, seeing as how the last studio record we got was back in '06 and that was just a collection!

If you're not like me, or as I refer to you a fool, then I'll just assume you haven't heard the right Tom Waits songs. I can understand his voice is very different but open those ears and check out one of my favorite songs by this blues legend.

The Black Angels

I've loved these psychedelic rockers since I first saw a Zune commercial which played the song Young Dead Men.

The Black Angels have been under the philosophy with their music that if it sounds good, don't change it.  That statement holds true on their newest album Phosphene Dream.  Check out the opening track on the album and get excited about their show at the Urban Lounge on May 6th.

Check out the rest of the tour dates and the super trippy Zune commercial after the jump.

Dead From Above 1979

Ever since Wednesday, January 19, when Coachella announced their line-up I was in awe, literally. I was at work and just stopped and stared at my monitor until my eyes watered up; from either tears of joy or because I had been staring in such disbelieve for so long expecting one of the acts to disappear.

Way back in August of 2006 one of the greatest bands ever announced they hated each other and thus ended Death from Above 1979 but now, thanks to Coachella, they're back.

Currently we only have two dates set, Coachella and another festival in Austria, but we've got hints of a more tour dates. Personally I already hate myself for not purchasing a Coachella ticket before they sold out so if we get any show on the west side of the country I'll be making a road trip.
